Joe gets my vote for comeback player of the year. Out of retirement to lead the team. Sounds like a future Disney movie to me.

BTW, if the Stars make the playoffs they had better be practicing PK's. After Wednesday evenings miss by Simone that makes 4 PK's this season they have missed on.

Gallardo is the keeper of the year, hands down, in my professional opinion.

So a potential home first round playoff match could be any of October 6,7,9 or 10, as far as what we know now? I know I remember some higher-seeded team (I wanna say Vancouver) opting to have the first leg at home for whatever reason in the recent past. So let's hope for that.

Regardless, as far as I can tell right now, I should actually be able to attend on pretty much any of those dates. And I've only managed to make it to 2 games this year - so attendance would already be +1 over the regular season!

Miami is up 1-0 over AC St. Louis with 45 minutes left. A tie or Miami win and the Stars are in the play-offs. Come on you Stars!!!

I'll get the champagne ready (just in case)!!!

Abe Thompson ate his Wheaties this morning, looks like.

Dust off those dancin' shoes, we're going to the playoffs!

Thompson with the hat trick. Miami up 3-0 over AC St. Louis in probably the 75th minute. Ooops. St. Louis just scored and it's. 3-1. Keep that champaign chilled for now.

OK, now it's 4-1 Miami. We need an investor!
