Imagine my surprise when I answered the knock at my door after 19:00 and found a package at my feet. At first, I just thought it was a gift I had ordered for my wife...however, upon further inspection, I saw my Reddit username on the recipient address. It was my Reddit SS gift!

Naturally, I ripped right into the package like the 10 year old that I am...and found a treasure trove of Dallas Stars awesomeness! My SS had seen my love for my Stars and decided to fan the flames a little.

The big item was an awesome Reebok Stars hoodie. I put it on and, good grief, it's so freakin' comfortable. I'm wearing it as I type! Next was an equally comfy grey knit beanie, sporting the Green and Gold colors that I love, as well. Finally, two Stars pins that are already pinned to lanyards (one on my work ID lanyard, the other on my Stars season ticket holder lanyard)!

I have to admit, it almost broke my heart a little to know that, in light of the NHL lockout, that I wouldn't be able to immediately wear all of it to a game this week. But, hey...it's supposed to cool off next week (it's been unseasonably warm here in Dallas...yes, warm even for North Texas)...and, I'm gonna wear the hell out of all of these when that cold weather comes!

Thanks to my SS! I love it! Now, uh...let's end the lockout, eh?
