Tyler Seguin & Jamie Benn: What if They're Both Batman?
Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn power one of the most dynamic offenses in the NHL. From nearly day one the duo has been flat-out dominant. Stars fans eagerly anticipate the return of Seguin from injury, but should they hope for the pair to be reunited? Are there other options the Stars should consider in pursuit of long-term success? You will find no #fancystats in the article below. Nor will you find sufficient sample size to well and truly make any sort of definitive judgment. This is a thought piece, a notion. It's something I've pondered, at points, throughout this season, in particular in...

Tyler Seguin Says Rehab Going Well, Hopes to Start Light Skating at End of This Week
The Stars injured All-Star has begun doing more intense workouts with his injured knee, and Patrick Eaves may also be ready to return soon from a concussion. Tyler Seguin understands exactly how Dallas Stars fans feel right now. The injured All-Star center has been relegated to watching his teammates struggle from afar while he nurses an MCL sprain, and he was so frustrated after Tuesday's loss to the Winnipeg Jets that he broke his iPad. "I kind of whipped it at the wall," Seguin told BaDD Radio on his weekly radio show. "The wall may have taken a little more damage. "It was right after I...

Game Recap: BREATHE — Red Wings 7 at Stars 6 (OT)
A quick saunter through Central Division barns yields four points for the Red Wings, as they take a barnburner in Dallas. *inhale-exhale into a paper bag* Whew! The Detroit Red Wings flew into Texas to take on a Dallas Stars team missing its leading scorer in Tyler Seguin. So of course the Stars put up six on the Red Wings tonight at American Airlines Center. We've got a lot to get through so let's get to it! 1st Period The Red Wings dominated the start of this game.

Dallas Stars Forward Tyler Seguin Talks Knee Injury: Why An MCL Sprain Isn't Entirely Bad News
The Stars All-Star forward revealed some details about his knee injury on Friday - what this means about his long-term recovery and timeline. The NHL, at least when it comes to injuries, exists in a world of mystery. Players are out with upper or lower body injuries, or sometimes even just a "body injury" when the coach is feeling extra coy, and recovery time frames aren't much more specific. Given that, it's a minor miracle that Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin revealed what actually was injured when he was clipped by the Florida Panthers' Dmitry Kulikov one week ago. When Seguin met...

The Puck Stops Here: How the Tyler Seguin-less Dallas Stars Becomes a Playoff Team
Injuries to Tyler Seguin, Ales Hemsky, and Patrick Eaves threaten to undermine Dallas' Top 5 offense and playoff push. Yes, forwards are going to have to step up, but there's more to success than Goals For. Let's take a moment to consider some of the other important pieces of a Stars playoff push. It's always easy to focus on like-for-like replacement. Someone leaves the lineup, and immediately, speculation begins about who is going to take the vacated spot. Who will take Hemsky's place? Who will score Seguin's goals? In Dallas' unfortunate situation, the impulse becomes acute. We're...

Dallas Stars Strike Early, Beat St Louis Blues On Their Home Ice
The Blues have a stellar record on home ice, but the Stars gave them their sixth regulation loss this season at Scottrade Center. Can the Dallas Stars always play the St Louis Blues? These are always such fun games (if you're a Stars fan, anyway). The Stars scored three goals in the first period, an offensive explosion that many didn't expect with half of the normal top six out for the Stars due to injury. With Tyler Seguin's 29 goals, Patrick Eaves' 13 points and Ales Hemsky's 23 points out of the lineup, there's some big offensive players missing. Instead of struggling for offense...

Tyler Seguin Injury: NHL Suspends Dmitry Kulikov Four Games for Low Hit; Too Light a Punishment?
The NHL has suspended Kulikov for just four games for his hit on Tyler Seguin... The NHL has handed down it's ruling in regards to Dmitry Kulikov, and there's no doubt that many will feel the Department of Player Safety left off the Florida Panthers defenseman with too light a sentence. Kulikov has been suspended just four games after taking out Tyler Seguin's legs with a low hit in open ice on Friday night. Kulikov has never been in this sort of trouble with the NHL before and that likely led to this relatively light sentence, but it's going to be tough for Stars fans seeing that Seguin...

Shane O'Brien returns for San Antonio to fill as Kulikov awaits hearing. Florida Panthers defenseman Dmitry Kulikov has been suspended indefinitely for Friday night's hip check gone bad on Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin. Kulikov has been offered an in-person hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety to state his case in person if he so desires. Seguin has been placed on injured reserve and is expected to be out for 2-4 weeks. The hit in question came during the third period of Florida's 2-0 shutout loss in Dallas. If you haven't seen it yet or want to take another look, here it...
