Nisky’s new ride

I almost forgot. Happy birthday to Mountain Iron's own Matt Niskanen, who last week celebrated his 21st birthday. He got quite the surprise when he got home from the Stars' recent six-game road trip. His teammates took his old Pontiac Sunfire, which he's been driving since he was a sophomore in high school, and tricked it out, slapping on some sweet rims, putting in a suede leather interior and giving it a sweet paint job – his nickname Nisky appears on the back of it and his No. 5 on both doors along with some other decals.

Check out this story and accompanying video on the Dallas Stars' web site. The video is an interview with Niskanen after the first period of Dallas' 5-4 win over Edmonton last night, a period in which Nisky scored his second goal of the season on a blistering slap shot from the blue line.

Keep making us proud, Nisky.
