Opening Day B-52 Flyover

Posted on by Patrick

Since 2005, I’ve been attending the Texas Rangers Opening Day game. I’m not a huge baseball fan, but I do enjoy going to games and Opening Day is the best day to go. So much optimism of what can be when a season starts. One of the cool things they do during the National Anthem […]

Sick Hockey Goal

Very impressive. Even more so when you realize he’s 9 years old.

My Dallas Stars thoughts

Posted on by Patrick

Well, the NHL season is a little over a quarter of the way complete. So far, the Stars have been very inconsistent ( except for that nice 6 game winning streak last week ). They started the season very uneven and lost some real heartbreakers. The most brutal of which was the game against the […]

Stars close, but not enough

Posted on by Patrick

Avalanche 4, Stars 3 At least this game didn’t remain the blowout it was becoming. I’m also glad that Morrow came back. That was a nasty spill he took. I’m guessing he broke his nose. And I’m guessing it’s going to be another year of the Comeback Kids. I just wish the Stars would play […]

Drop The Puck!

Posted on by Patrick

Tomorrow the start of the 2007-2008 NHL Season and I’m pumped up for it. Well, I guess technically, the season started over the weekend in London, but that was almost like exhibition games. Tomorrow is the real start when all the teams in the league get going. And that includes my beloved Dallas Stars. They […]

My Stars Ticket Luck

Posted on by Patrick

Over the course of the past few weeks, I’ve been lucky enough to be taken along to entertain clients at a couple of Stars games. The seats were very, very nice. I went to the Minnesota game on February 6th and the Red Wings game on February 14th (yes, I have the best wife in […]

NHL All-Star Week Pics

Posted on by Patrick

Ok, so maybe it’s not the day after like I talked about before, but here are the pics I took during the YoungStars/NHL Skills competition here in Dallas. Our seats were pretty awesome. One of the cool things was that for every team that has a mascot, they were there. I got shots of several […]

Cool Hockey Jersey

Posted on by Patrick

I went to the Dallas Stars Home Opener on Saturday and while waiting for tickets in the will call line, I saw this guy coming and I loved the front of the jersey. When I saw the back, I had to stop him and take a picture. ( He was pretty sure I was going […]

NHL: What a bunch of whiners

Posted on by Patrick

I’ve been a hockey fan since I saw my first game on ESPN back in like 1989. I thought to myself, “What an amazing sport, they have to do all their work on ice of all surfaces!”. I became a New Jersey Devils fan for no reason other than they happen to be the team […]

Ugh…

Posted on by Patrick

I went to high school with this guy…ugh…well, good for him. This is a link to his NFL Salary the past 4 years as the punter for the Indianapolis Colts. Hunter Smith I guess it’s good to see people from my small home town make it somewhat big.

The Curse of A-Rod

Posted on by Patrick

Well, lookie there, the Boston Red Sox slayed the mighty Yankees in 7 games after being down 3 games to 0. The greatest comeback in Baseball playoff history. (Incidentally, the feat had been done before by 2 hockey teams, the 1942 Maple Leafs and the 1974 Islanders) And I can tell you the minute the […]
