So again, we still don’t have enough usable video for the Dallas Stars.

That’s the unfortunate reality of NHL preseason, especially for a none Original Six market, where there is less pressure/demand to actual air the games.

Thankfully that changes tonight, the Stars open the season against the St. Louis Blues. I will be dropping an observation piece later this evening after the game, may even play around with audio features (but no promises).

In the meantime, I think this is the perfect space to set realistic expectations across the Stars roster.
