Stars Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
The Stars are trying to get back to their former postseason form. Well, basically, they're just trying to get back into the postseason.
The last two seasons have been pretty forgettable for the Stars, who were once playoff regulars but not so much lately. With a sale still hanging over the team's head and a roster that didn't get many additions because of budget constraints, the Stars are going to have to rely on some of their proven veterans and get strong leadership.
Enter Brenden Morrow. The Stars captain will have to step up again this season as the Stars try to find their identity and a path back to winning ways. Morrow didn't get that "C" because he couldn't do this job. Back in the 2008 postseason he lifted the Stars through their Western Conference semifinals against... |

Dallas Stars sale close; buyer unspecified (SportingNews.com)
Hicks Sports Group is close to selling the Dallas Stars and 50 percent interest in American Airlines Center to an unspecified buyer for $275 million to $300 million, Forbes reported on Wednesday.
