It’s hard to look at the opening 7-0 Dallas Stars win over the Nashville Predators and not feel great. Dallas found the net with regularity, and by the end of the game, the “Dobby” chants were echoing through a full-as-could-be American Airlines Center.
With five power-play goals, an even-strength goal, and a shorthanded tally to back it up, there wasn’t much that Nashville could do to end the celebration of live hockey’s return to the Metroplex. The Stars needed to wash the disappointment of a Stanley Cup loss out of the system, and the Friday night should have accomplished just that.

FRISCO, Texas Jamie Benn laughed on the first day of training camp when asked how it is playing on a line with young speedsters Denis Gurianov and Roope Hintz. I m just trying to catch up with them all of the time, Benn said after practice Monday.
In their first scrimmage together on Wednesday, Benn caught up pretty well. The 31-year-old Stars captain had two goals and helped make that line the most noticeable in the scrimmage.
