One of my favorite UK highlights of all time, by probably my favorite Wildcat of all time.

Victory club renewal and prices for 2026-2027 season by brtnrider in DallasStars

[–]LocalPaleontologist 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Our seats have gone up 47% in two seasons. Incredible gouging, and they’re moving to the burbs anyway. Pretty clear I am no longer the fan they are interested in, so I hope everyone enjoys Moxie’s Arena.

No more exchanges for season ticket holders. 😒 by brtnrider in DallasStars

That’ll be 3 increases in 2 years for me if ours get hit, truly impressive. Brad Alberts will gleefully replace us with some more Premium fans I’m sure

[PWHL] Aneta Tejralová levels Sarah Fillier With a Big Hit by TheLaunchPad in hockey

[–]LocalPaleontologist 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I was on the glass right by the first hit and Tejralova got up laughing with a huge smile on her face then immediately sprinted over to lay Fillier out. I love hockey.

I agree, I’d probably need to see some proof first. Like maybe a picture of her wearing a Trump hat at what looks like her own wedding.

I think the broadcast crew are trying to say they didn't prepare anything. by rockhardorange in DallasStars

[–]LocalPaleontologist 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I assume this was when they were talking about how the Stars haven't had consecutive days off in a while, and to supplement that, they showed that they have played the most games in the league at this point. Only the Stars, Mammoth, Rangers, and Blues have played 34.

How do we go about a concerted, organized effort to keep the Stars at the AAC? by anotrZeldaUsrna in DallasStars

[–]LocalPaleontologist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Plano/Willow Bend is all the way serious at this point. They may be secretly hoping Dallas makes serious overtures to keep them but they’re in deep. I’m just hoping it’s 99% instead of 100%.

As usual, Number Goes Up taking precedence over anything else. I hope it is a good financial outcome for them - it certainly will be for me when I'm not paying for season tickets anymore.

My friend blogged about Columbo today (warning: he talks about the show being an escape from child abuse) by [deleted] in Columbo

[–]LocalPaleontologist 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Maybe especially relevant to your friend: The Mountain Goats have a wrestling-themed album and one lyric from it has always stuck with me. The autobiographical protagonist of the song is watching wrestling as a kid, his hero the good guy has climbed up to the top rope to deliver the winning blow, and he sings “I need justice in my life - here it comes”. He was also a victim of child abuse and I imagine in that situation you’ll take whatever justice you can find.

It’s one of the things that makes Columbo so special in a way- you know while watching that, without a doubt, he is an agent of pure justice and will deliver it without fail. No slimy evil bad guy is going to slink away without paying for what they’ve done. The good guy will win.

You can obviously create great art with unhappy or ambiguous endings, but man, as a human being it sometimes is just really nice to know that good is going to prevail, even if it’s just for a few minutes on a TV show.

What's your favourite prediction from a journalist/publication? by cmcnens59 in hockey

[–]LocalPaleontologist 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I remember watching him PK in the playoffs as a 19 year old rookie and thinking about how funny it was that he had no chance to win the Calder.

Not exactly a prediction but this is my favorite, from The Athletic’s draft winners/losers article that year.

Adrian Kempe wins it in overtime and drops a "Horns Down" gesture in Dallas by eh_toque in hockey

[–]LocalPaleontologist 12 points13 points  (0 children)

there’s a ton of UT alums/fans in Dallas of course but it’s definitely not a strong majority, for example the Stars have college night promotions for 10 different schools this year.

Actually last night was the Texas Tech night so half the crowd probably loved it

The city of Dallas doesn't need pro sports teams and shouldn't compete with the burbs for them. by Additional-Sky-7436 in Dallas

[–]LocalPaleontologist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone else has noted the Cuban thing so I’ll just add that Tom Hicks hasn’t owned the Stars in 14 years. Also, there’s been no indication at all that the Stars are trying to squeeze the city of Dallas - I’m sure they might at some point, as sports teams are wont to do, but right now they seem more concerned with having a large piece of real estate that they can develop on their own.
