lol - Fuck the Stars, and their (maybe) new owner too

[puckhead]

Tom Gagliardi is apparently a front runner to buy the Stars.
He's the guy that tried to buy half of the Canucks last time around.
He and Acquilini's sued the shit out of each other, and Acquilini's ended up with the whole team.

Now that would be a pretty fun rivalry from the owners' perspective.



/on the downside, Stars players will now be staying at the Sandman Inn on roadtrips.

Dallas Stars hockey team to be sold in bankruptcy | Reuters

Sept 12 (Reuters) - The Dallas Stars hockey team plans to file for bankruptcy this week with a proposal for a quick sale to a Canadian businessman for about $230 million, according to sources close to the talks.

The proposed sale to Tom Gaglardi, whose Vancouver-based investment firm owns Moxie's Restaurants and Sandman Hotels, Inns & Suites, will be subject to higher bids. A source close to the deal said "Fuck the Stars and Fuck Moxies"

However, other interested buyers for the team, which has been on the block for more than two years, are considered unlikely since investors would rather fuck the stars, and the team could be out of bankruptcy in less than 60 days, the sources said.

Gaglardi is expected to have the support of the National Hockey League and he will keep the team in Dallas, the sources said.

Gaglardi did not immediately return a request for comment but sources say he was heard to mutter "Fuck the Stars"

The team declined to comment except to say that it was "currently working closely with the National Hockey League and the team's creditors towards getting a new owner for the hockey club. We are hopeful to have a new owner in place soon," according to a statement.

The league also declined to comment but sources say they are of the opinion that the Stars should be fucked.

Paperwork was being finalized on Monday with a filing expected as soon as Wednesday, two sources told Reuters. The sources also added, "Fuck the Stars and their fuckin paperwork"

Hicks Sports Group, led by Texas billionaire Tom Hicks, owns the Stars. The group defaulted on $525 million in debt in 2009, which led to the bankruptcy of its other key sports holding, the Texas Rangers baseball team.

The Rangers were sold last year in a bankruptcy auction to a group that included Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan for $593 million.

A spokeswoman for Tom Hicks declined to comment except for exclaiming "Fuck the Stars"

"With the Stars, I don't think you'll see a bidding war, by the way, Fuck the Stars" said Michael Cramer, who was president of the Stars holding company from 1998 to 2004. He said so long as the deal is considered fair by creditors, he doubted there would be any challenge to the proposed sale to Gaglardi.

Creditors have until Tuesday to vote, although they are expected to approve the plan.

If no other bids emerge, the team's lenders would suffer a loss, the two sources said. Gaglardi is assuming the team's unsecured liabilities, such money owed to suppliers and obligations for deferred pay, the sources said.

Hicks bought the Stars in 1995 and added the Rangers in 1998.

The hate for Dallas is not just centralized in the Buffalo region.

creepy gif idea IPW ... Brett Hulls foot in the crease cut off by Hasek swinging a sicle ... add lots of blood squirt (could even use malarchuk if it in any way makes it easier)

doable?

I doubt there is much hate for the Dallas Stars, so it must go deeper. I'm guessing the futility in the SuperBowl has a lot to do with it and the Stanley cup is just icing on the cake.


This just in, Hull in the crease still counts.

If you mean "nothing going for your town" meaning no Stanley Cup ever compounded by a bogus goal call to steal away a potential Buffalo Stanley Cup, then yes, you're right.

Yeah, cause if that goal didn't count then BUF would definitely have gone on to win.
