Texas Stars Left Wing Reilly Smith Named CCM/AHL Rookie of the Month

January 2, 2013 – American Hockey League (AHL) Texas Stars CEDAR PARK, TX – The Texas Stars, proud American Hockey League affiliate of the Dallas Stars, announced today that left wing Reilly Smith has been selected as the CCM/AHL Rookie of the Month for December.

Smith led the Stars in goals and points last month, tallying eight goals and six assists for 14 points in 14 games.

After a slow start to his rookie season, Smith averaged a point per game during December. On Dec. 2, the Toronto, Ontario native had a goal and an assist in a 4-3 shootout win at Peoria, the first of his five multiple-point efforts on the month. He came back with his first career two-goal game in a 4-1 win over Peoria on Dec. 8, and had a goal and an assist to help Texas to a 3-1 victory at Abbotsford on Dec. 14. Smith put together a six-game scoring streak from Dec. 19-29 that included consecutive game-winning goals on Dec. 19 vs. San Antonio and Dec. 21 at Oklahoma City, and scoring the Stars’ only two goals in a loss to the Barons on Dec. 22.

The 21-year-old Smith was a third-round draft choice by Dallas in 2009, and made his professional debut appearing in three National Hockey League games with the parent Stars at the end of the 2011-12 season. In 32 games with Texas this year, Smith has 10 goals and 10 assists for 20 points, including 10-7-17 in his last 17 outings. He currently ranks second on the Stars in points, is tied for second in goals and in game-winning goals (2) and is tied for third in assists. Smith played three seasons at Miami University (Ohio) and was a Hobey Baker Award finalist last season.

In recognition of his achievement, Smith will be presented with an etched crystal award prior to an upcoming Stars home game. This is the second time in club history that a Texas player has received an AHL monthly award. Former Stars’ goaltender Brent Krahn was chosen as the league’s Goalie of the Month for November 2009.

Texas is back in action on Friday, January 4th as they travel to Houston for a 7:05 p.m. faceoff with the Aeros at Toyota Center. The Stars return home Saturday, January 5th for a 7:00 p.m. faceoff against the Peoria Rivermen at Cedar Park Center. Saturday’s home game is a Family Four Pack Night and is the Stars Team Card Set Giveaway. Pro-rated full and partial 2012-13 season seat packages are on sale now.

Mayday – Breakup Over Texas – Video



Mayday – Breakup Over Texas
On 11 September 1991, Continental Express Flight 2574 was nearing the end of its flight from Laredo to Houston, Texas. But as the pilots were preparing to land, the plane tipped into a dive and fell out of the sky as the left wing tore apart. All 14 people on board died in the disaster. Improper maintenance caused a section of the horizontal stabilizer to break loose in flight, after which the pilots had no control. FAIR USE NOTICE: This video may contain copyrighted material.

Free Gaza Protesters Confronted in Houston
After calling Israel, “Zionist Trash,” I started recording my conversations with these racists. The security guard just tried to calm them down before a girl said it was illegal for me to record them and the police came and accused me of “creating a disturbance.” So I asked to create my own official protest!

Oklahoma City Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs ( Nov 1, 2012 ) Tony Parker nice move against Thunder – Video



Oklahoma City Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs ( Nov 1, 2012 ) Tony Parker nice move against Thunder
In West finals rematch, Spurs edge Thunder on Parker's buzzer beater SAN ANTONIO — Tony Parker swished the buzzer-beater and unleashed a cathartic scream. Under the basket, Kevin Durant stood frozen in disbelief. Throw in the trade that sent James Harden to Houston, and that's two stunners for the Oklahoma City Thunder during the first week of this NBA season. Parker sank a 21-footer as time expired and the San Antonio Spurs won a thrilling rematch of the Western Conference finals, beating Oklahoma City 86-84 on Thursday night without having to chase around Harden this time. Parker scored the last of his 14 points while Serge Ibaka — the NBA's leading shot-blocker last season — ran at him full steam. The All-Star guard calmly swished a long jumper from the left wing before breaking into a sustained scream while his teammates mobbed him in front of the Thunder bench. “I was like, I have to shoot fast,” Parker said about eluding the outstretched arm of the 6-foot-10 Ibaka. “He was coming very fast.” Durant led all scorers with 23 points and began his sixth NBA season by becoming the second-youngest player behind LeBron James to reach 10000 career points. Durant, however, stood silent under the basket for several seconds after Parker's shot before walking off the court. “We lost him. We didn't get him in time, but he still made a tough shot over Serge,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. “It's not an easy hand to shoot over.” The defending West champions broke up their Big …From:MyNBAHighlights2012Views:89 1ratingsTime:00:12More inPeople Blogs
