The first thing I thought as I walked into the arena tonight was, “has it always been this cold in here?” As I made my way onto the concourse and walked towards the frozen ice at the American Airlines Center, I took a moment to breathe in the quietness that is seemingly only found with an empty sheet of ice before you and not many souls in the building.
It’s nice to realize that Dallas Stars hockey is back tonight.
Granted, it wasn’t pretty hockey by any stretch of the imagination. How could it be - the Stars had committed 9 minors and the Blues had committed 6 by the time the start of the third period even rolled around.
