The Dallas Stars defeated the Nashville Predators in overtime to clinch the series, 4-2, and advance to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. This about sums up the fan reaction:
Without another heroic effort by starting netminder (and Vezina finalist) Ben Bishop, this game would have had a much different outcome. However, that’s been the story of the Stars all season. They just find a way to win those close games and make most of the huge efforts of their netminders stand up. Just as they did again tonight.
