    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">DALLAS -- The Dallas Stars may have already taken themselves out of the running for the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy -- the NHL's award for "sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct."

    The Stars advertisement, above, is posted on a Dallas-area billboard.
    As part of the team's "come into the cold" ad campaign to sell seats for 2007-08, the Stars took a shot at the NBA's referee scandal on a billboard near the American Airlines Center, the building the Stars share with the Dallas Mavericks.

    The message? "The only thing our refs shave is the ice." </div>

    You just know that Stern is seething at the fact he can't fine them. Though I wouldn't be surprised if he fined Cuban for it. [​IMG]

    Ah, it's all in good fun. The Oakland A's used to have a billboard coming over the Bay Bridge that read, "Zero Splash Hits/5 World Championships" or something like that.

    Stern probably is none too pleased, though, you're right.
