Dan’s Daily Links: Dallas Destroys Its Own, Panarin Talks

So the Dallas Stars President decided to rip his top stars a new one. And the comments had an underlying tone of anger at the media, too. Artemi Panarin has talks scheduled with CBJ and the NHL.com staff took a stab at the All-Star rosters, including a pair of Pittsburgh Penguins.

Go ahead and read up on the Dallas Stars situation (Dallas Morning News).

The Stars stars are underperforming. Some nights, their effort isn’t Grade A. That’s a problem. Seguin’s history including getting bounced out of Boston for being a party guy is also relevant. However, there isn’t an excuse for team management shredding its players in the media and then telling the media–you won’t report it, write this!

Call them out. Don’t make an ass of yourself in the process and permanently scar the relationship before the big-money deals begin.

The Pittsburgh Penguins should have two players on the Metro team. No question.
