You really are a gifted writer. Stars fans are lucky you stepped up to fill a gaping hole last year. I’ve read every piece since. Several are notable from a die-hard fan standpoint. This is definitely one of them. Thank you for what you do.

I became a Stars fan at the end of 2012 thanks to my wife. Benn and Seguin have been there the whole ride. Truly the heart and soul of this team. Thanks for this, Robert. This is why I love hockey, the people, and I can't imagine loving any other team.
