More 2017 signs! @dallasstarsnews-blog @dallasstars-blog-blog

I'm so far behind in posting this year's signs!

Last night was Hockey FIghts Cancer night for the Dallas Stars.  I made a sign for my sister who passed away from a bone marrow transplant necessitated by leukemia.  A sweet young superfan named Chloe (who I’ve gotten to know through our mutual love of the Stars) beat cancer twice before most kids have even started school, and she had a sign as well.  Both signs were on the pregame broadcast.  But even cooler, Spezza stared hard at Chloe during his warmup stretches. He came over and tossed a puck to her. Spezza NEVER tosses pucks. That was pretty special.  Seguin skated over to me, looked me in the eyes, looked sadly at my sister and then tossed a puck carefully to me. It made me cry. And then Johns, as he was leaving the ice, skated straight towards me, tapped his heart with his fist and then pointed at my sister’s picture.  Hockey players, y’all. They’re the best. 

Dallas Stars vs Buffalo Sabres. Final score: 5 - 0 A Sabres fan about 20 row back yelled while I was holding up the sign, "We know! We know! Put it down!" I also got the stink eye from a Sabre player when he saw it. Mission accomplished!
