In between writing children's books  and, oh yeah, trying to win a Stanley Cup, Marty Turco somehow found some time to fit a little car restoration into his schedule.

And now, the end result may dry a few tears on the face of a two-year-old girl.

With Turco acting as ringleader, the Stars took the had-seen-better-days ride that was defenseman Matt Niskanen's 2001 Pontiac Sunfire — wheels he has owned since he was 15 — and helped give it a $12,000 facelift.

Looking for a little animosity to be charged into the Western Conference final?

You just got it.

Proving that the he is a lock to be named recipient of this spring's Bonehead Play of the Post-Season Award, Mike Ribeiro played lumberjack as the clock ticked down last night in Game 2 of their Western Conference final, coming over the net to give Detroit goaltender Chris Osgood a two-handed chop across the chest.

The Fabian Brunnstrom drama is over. The highly-touted 23-year-old Swedish prospect, who many feel is the best player not currently in the NHL, will begin his NHL career with the Dallas Stars next season.

Reports indicate Brunnstrom made his choice official Thursday, just hours before the Stars begin the Western Conference final against the Detroit Red Wings.
