Mid-Season Fall Sports Report

OK, well the fall sports season has been....surprising.  The biggest evidence of this is in the term I used to describe it.   See, normally it would have been the "Football Report".   But lo-and-behold, something strange happened.

The Dallas Stars started the season 4-0 before falling to an equally fast starting Tampa team last night, 5-4.  Dallas was supposed to be "rebuilding" after an offseason where they lost Mike Modano and Marty Turco, and face financial troubles heading into the 2010-2011 season.  Yet, they've shot out of the gates and played some pretty good hockey, led by point-leader Brad Richards. (who also happens to have been my favorite Stars player over the past 3 years.)   They are playing miserably on the penalty kill right now, but otherwise it seems they may surprise some folks this season.
