If you weren’t able to watch this one, don’t let the score fool you – this was far from a perfect game by Dallas. Ben Bishop should not have to stand on his head as much as he did, particularly with so many odd-man rushes and shorthanded chances against. Any other night when he doesn’t get the bounces the way he did tonight and some help from the goal posts, and this game gets very ugly, very fast.
Maybe after games like the road contest against the Anaheim Ducks last week in which Dallas outplayed the opposition and didn’t walk away with two points, this one was a swing in the luck department the other way.
