Sheldon Souray News

The Stars penalty issues aren't exactly breaking news to anyone that has watched the Stars play over the past few seasons.

Over the past week or so, many of SB Nation's hockey writers have submitted their picks for the major NHL awards, and over the next few days we'll reveal the results.

Common consensus is that the Stars are only a few players short of making a run at the cup.

The Los Angeles Kings captain played a huge role in helping his team advance to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1993 as they dispatched the Phoenix Coyotes in Game 5. But he also showed why he's considered a pretty reprehensible player by opposing fans who watch him repeatedly.

After spending the 2010-11 season in the minors, Sheldon Souray returned to the NHL in style last season with the Dallas Stars, posting 21 points in 65 games while averaging over 20 minutes per night.

Some interesting quotes came from Dallas last week after Fox Sports Southwest's Bob Sturm spoke with the Stars braintrust.
