All 4 One?
Curious as to whether or not people who have an actual birthday this day only celebrate it every 4 years. The extra day only appears to make the month of February seem that much longer...

A Tampa Connection!
The irony was that a friend of mine happened to be from Tampa, just like one of our new guys. Brad Richards became the first DALLAS Star to have a five assist night! Not bad for a first game, eh? The jumbotron made mention that Mike Modano had a five point game back in 2002, albeit with a goal and four assists.

RIP Myron Cope 1929-2009
It was 1970 when a quarterback and an announcer had their debuts on the same day. Terry Bradshaw and Myron Cope each began doing their thing on September 20th of 1970. Terry Bradshaw had great success going into 1983. Myron Cope proceeded to become the voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers until 2004. 35 years with one team is a kind of servitude we will never see again in our lifetime. Sadly Myron Cope passed away this day at 79.

In return the Stars traded Jussi Jokinen, Jeff Halpern, Mike Smith and a 4th round draft pick.

Essentially you'll have one team create a ripple of a fervor in the name of a news story, the next team depending on season will try to outmaneuver the previous team with a bigger depth charge. It may go something like this...
