I actually went to that game with my son in law and 2 granddaughters. Not only was it my first hockey game to attend, but I had never even watched a full game on TV before. My granddaughters are ages 9 and 12 and they were very happy that the Stars won, but I don't think they understood the rules any better than I did.
A fun and wholesome game fit for the entire family.
Really liked the Stars when they were led by American and Detroit native Mike Modano.

The most frustrating thing to me was that the stadium announcer never gave us any information. There were constant stoppages in play that would lead to a face-off, but he never once told us the call. Considering how difficult it is to see the puck from as far away as we were, I thought he would announce the call and why they were having a face-off, but he never did. Is this normal, or was it unique to Dallas?
Does the average fan see well enough to know what was called without being told, or do they just not care? I would have enjoyed it more if I understood the call instead of just being blasted with loud music.
I have always appreciated how our announcers at Auburn football games play it absolutely straight with no gamesmanship no matter what happened. They simply announce what happened - "Chris Davis returns the missed field goal 109 yards for a touchdown. Final score, Auburn 34, Alabama 28."
Those guys that play hockey have gotta be incredibly tough. I'm gonna watch on TV Wednesday night and try to understand it better.
