“It Caught Twine in the Back of the Onion Bag.”
Stars win in overtime. And the above description of the winning goal is why I love Razor Reaugh. (Side note: yes, I’m a horribly casual hockey fan, and I didn’t watch a single game this season until the playoffs started. And, yes, I realize that some hardcore Stars fans take a dim view of people like me. There’s an ownership thing at work here. “I invested all those hours during the regular season watching the team. So don’t think you can come along and get as excited as I am about their going up 3-0 on the Sharks.” Okay, would you rather people like me not get excited this time of year? If the whole city — latecomers included — jump on the bandwagon here at the end, doesn’t that make it more fun for you, too? Just asking.)

I don’t mind you non-hockey play or knowing bandwagoners so much. It’s those morons who buy $100 hockey jerseys that drive me batsh*t. Uh, hello, are you 12 years old or something?
Regarding the broadcast team, I’ve always liked darksider Stangis who is one of the few remaining links to the original club.
However, I sure wish the Stars radio partner, WBAP, would hire a radio broadcasting team instead of simulcasting Stragis/Reaugh. One can’t follow the game on the AM (Bring back Al Shaver. Yes?)
To answer your question…
No
As I said in a earlier post yesterday, jump on the bandwagon, Tim! There’s plenty of room for everybody, and yes - it does make it more fun for the whole city to be excited about the team. Especially because, you know, now that the Mavs are out of the playoffs the Stars are the only major sports team playing in Dallas.
What’s that? Baseball is in season? How long has that been going on?…
That’s why they call it a band wagon. Jump on one and all, and enjoy the ride. This is going to be fun!
Tim,
You have been hanging out in the neutral zone for too long — great to see you in the attacking zone! We welcome you with open arms and a cold Labatt brew.
Jump on now and next season you’ll be on it earlier. That’s this works. Scream away: believe!!
