On paper, it was a great result for the Dallas Stars.
Roope Hintz scored an overtime hat trick goal. The Stars absolutely shut down NHL wunderkind Connor Bedard. Dallas secured that all too important ROW. The Chicago Blackhawks are literally the only team in the Central Division the Stars are okay giving a loser point to. Heck, it even hurts their lottery odds.
And yet, unlike the fine Mizzou fans over in Arlington last night, Stars fans couldn’t really feel good about last night’s win. Because Hintz should have never had a chance to score a game-winning hat trick goal in overtime.
