Same Story For Dallas

from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,

Outside, on the Riverwalk that skirts Joe Louis Arena, the 2008 Downtown Hoedown was underway – a country music block party in the cradle of Motown. On the street-level apron just outside the building, the Dallas Stars’ bus was greeted by the smells of Big Al’s BBQ, a fund-raiser for the Detroit Red Wings’ Foundation, featuring plenty of down-home cooking from the arena’s executive chefs.

Motor City did its best to make the visitors from down Texas way feel right at home on Saturday night – until they stepped on the ice, that is.

There, it was the same sad story for Dallas.

added 10:49pm, again, from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,

Stars’ goalie Marty Turco called it “a pretty dangerous play on their part – a butt-end to the eye. It’s one thing to engage in a physical battle; that’s pretty gutless if you’re hitting someone in the face, if that’s what did happen, and I’m pretty sure it did. We’ll see what transpires in the next little while.”
