Sure, Tuesday's preseason Dallas Stars game was marketed by some as a chance to see Art Ross Trophy winner Jamie Benn on the ice for the first time since double hip surgery.
But long time Stars fans knew the real reason to tune in - the debut of Dave Strader on the team's broadcast duo. The game wasn't shown on television or via a stream, but it was available over the physical and digital radio airways on The Ticket.
It was the little things that stood out about Strader's first night behind the microphone as the play-by-play voice alongside long-time color man Daryl Reaugh.
