BACK IN BLACK (CLOUD) PLAY BY PLAY

Here is some lost Stars play by play from a hard luck season that I just happened to stumbled across and have transcribed for your reading pleasure:

“13:13 to go in the second period…Face-off to the left of Turco who reaches for his water bottle on top of the net and – whoops – he just knocked over a shaker of salt…The draw is controlled by the Stars…Daley rims it around the far side to Brunnstrom who – skates right under a ladder in front of the Dallas bench and chips it into the attacking zone…Ott hustles in to battle for the puck in the far corner…Here’s Ott up with it…he centers it out to the high slot area where Richards grabs it and heads to the net. Here’s Richards now, right in…and a black cat runs out in front of him…he shoots…it’s high overtop of the net and it breaks the mirrored glass in behind the net…Just then a bat was seen flying around inside the arena with three butterflies (the former caterpillar ones, not the goalie ones)…As the period ends Stars President Jeff Cogan steps outside to have a dart and notices a new moon over his left shoulder…The Stars are returning to the ice for the start of the period and – it – looks – like – yes indeed, James Neal has come back out with his jersey on inside out…What must Dave Tippett be thinking now…There’s a good look at the Stars bench boss – and, what’s that on his lapel? - It appears to be a five-leaf clover pin…and just off to his right is head equipment man Steve “Sudsy” Sumner, who – for some reason has just opened up an umbrella ...Hey Stars fans, just a quick reminder before puck drop to start the third period that this Friday, the 13th, all healthy Stars players will be racing wheelchairs for charity on the concourse at AAC. Should be a good time had by all...”
