After crushing the Nashville Predators 4-1 in their season opener, the Dallas Stars held a rematch with them on Saturday. I was, sadly, unable to watch it due to attending a wedding [insert joke about hockey > family here], but I heard the rematch went ok.
So the Stars were 2-0, but with a disclaimer: both wins had come against the same team. And also “jet lag, yaddy yaddy ya,” but I think we’re all in agreement that doesn’t really count as an excuse. The point is, it’s one thing to start a season stunting on just one team — it’s another to do it regardless of the opponent.
