NHL realignment in 2012 - This is a concept everyone can embrace as hockey fans.

It's clearly a great set-up for the Dallas Stars as their days of playing teams two time zones away are over. When I was the Stars' beat writer here in the mid-to-late '90s, this team had strong rivalries with (then Central Division opponents) Detroit, St. Louis and Chicago. Those are restored in the plan adopted by the league's Board of Governors.


Throw in Minnesota fans and their continued hatred of Dallas for "stealing" their team. A new division rivalry is born.

Here's hoping the league - forward thinking in so many areas now - goes old school and brings back the Norris, Patrick, Smythe and Adams names for the four conferences.

The two were still around Sunday after making it through the latest round of roster cuts as the Stars move closer to their opening night roster. 

“It’s nice to be still here,” said Vincour. “I knew all I could do is work hard, play hockey and that’s what I did.” 

Excluding forward Scott Glennie, who is injured and will be assigned to the AHL once he is cleared to play – the Stars are down to 24 players, one over the maximum of 23. 

The Stars have 14 forwards, 8 defensemen and 2 goaltenders on the roster. If they decide to carry 14 forwards, Vincour is in a pretty good spot. 

Most likely the Stars would carry seven defensemen, so there would need to be another defenseman moved off the roster. That could end up being Larsen, but that didn’t curb his enthusiasm for making this latest cut. 

“You don’t know what is going to happen, but it is a really nice feeling to be here,” said Larsen. “You want to be here and you’re feeling more and more part of the team. Then again, you never know. But it is always like that.” 

The Stars will need to be down to 23 players by the season opener.

Greenberg is part of Texas Hockey Acquisition Co. and may participate in an auction of the Stars, owned by former billionaire Thomas Hicks, said Greenberg’s attorney, Jeffrey M. Schlerf, of Fox Rothschild LLP.

“They are definitely interested in bidding,” Schlerf said in an interview after the Stars hearing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware.

The Stars filed for bankruptcy on Sept. 15 with a plan pre- approved by its lenders to sell the team at an auction with a so-called stalking horse bid from Vancouver-based businessman Tom Gaglardi.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Peter Walsh agreed to speed up the usual process for approving an auction. Walsh agreed to let the team return to court Sept. 22 to seek approval for the rules.

Greenberg and hall-of-fame pitcher Nolan Ryan led the group that bought the Texas Rangers at a bankruptcy auction last year for about $593 million.

Greenberg announced in March that he was stepping down as Rangers CEO and selling his stake back to the team because of differences with Ryan.

Bidder’s Offer

Gaglardi agreed to be the lead bidder with an offer that includes about $50 million in cash and $100 million in new debt promised to senior lenders.

Several parties signed confidentiality agreements with the team to get financial information they need to bid, Stars attorney Martin Sosland of Weil, Gotschal & Manges LLP said in an interview.

Worth TX specialize in roof leak repair and have countless references from satisfied roofing customers in the Fort Worth area, including metal roofing in DFW. If you need a roofing contractor in White Settlement or roofing repair in Keller, TX then Custom should be at the top of your list.  They can also help assess the cost of a new roof and determine if a re-roof would be more suitable, saving you time and money. What type of new roof is being installed? This is the first question you should ask yourself and your contractor. 

For steep slope roofs on houses for instance, there are shingles, one of the cheapest steep slope creations out there today, and there is also pricey clay, one of the most expensive steep slope products on the market running about four times the cost of older composition shingles.


Remember, just because one type of roof covering is cheaper, doesn't mean the entire roof will be cheaper. There are a lot of other roof system components that can be involved, especially in commercial roofing, and the prices of these other components don’t vary much. For all your roofing questions, contact Custom Roofing in Fort Worth.
