NHL season previews often sell you an impressive bill of goods before you realize, at the end of the season, you're holding an empty box. Which makes using advertisements and infomercials the appropriate template for Puck Daddy's 2009-10 NHL Season Previews, presented each day throughout September.Last Season's Ad Copy: Twelfth in the Western Conference, third in the Pacific Division (36-35-11, 83 points). Last year's team will be remembered, if for nothing else, as solid evidence in support of the notion that "nobody knows nuthin.'" Take one gander at ESPN's NHL predictions for the 2008-09 season; you wouldn't see that many Dallas Stars if someone smacked you over the head with a sledgehammer outside of Texas Stadium ... But the Stars didn't win the Pacific, didn't win the Western Conference and sure as hell didn't the Stanley Cup. They went from injured to ineffective to, at their nadir, just plain sloppy, for seconds. It was a diz...

30 Teams/30 Days: Dallas Stars

Outlook: Plagued by injuries and the presence of Mr. Sloppy Seconds—I mean Sean Avery—the Dallas Stars finished in 12th place in the Western Conference in 2008-09.

From Jim Cerny at Rink Rap: Was perusing stats from last year and noticed that only four NHL goaltenders logged more than 4,000 minutes of playing time: Calgary’s Miikka Kiprusoff, Marty Turco of Dallas, Henrik Lundqvist of the Rangers, and Minnesota’s Niklas Backstrom.
