A new NHL season, and the gloves are off
One city picking a fight with another city? You'd have to say that this nicely captures the spirit of pro hockey. The Detroit Red Wings won the National Hockey League championship, and the Stanley Cup that goes with it, last season, so the Dallas Stars get in Detroit's collective face with this ad, via agency Door Number 3 of Austin, Texas. Considering that what's now the Stars franchise relocated from Minneapolis in the early 1990s, one could scarcely blame Minnesotans if they upbraided Dallas with an ad saying, "You've got something of ours." True, Minnesota has since acquired a fresh NHL franchise. But the new team has such a cheesy name that some folks in the Twin Cities (for instance, those who frequent this memorial Web site) must yearn for the days when they had the North Stars instead. —Posted by Mark Dolliver |

This is by far the dumbest post to any blog or news site I have ever read. You obviously know nothing about the state of Minnesota, or how rabid the fans are here.
The Stars are dead to us. As dead as the Lakers (yeah, they came from Minneapolis too). No one around here wishes for their return. We still honor the past, wear our North Stars jeresys, and wish we could again see Broten play at the old Met.
Those days are gone. We have moved on. Anyone who continues to believe otherwise 8 years later has about as much imgaination as, well, you.
