Happy MLK Day everyone! Both football games yesterday were crazy, so this is your slow descent back into sanity if you watched them. The Stars are playing nice and early today (noon Central time) which hopefully will allow them to bounce back from Friday night’s loss sooner rather than later.
During Friday’s Eddie Belfour night ceremony, many longtime Stars fans in attendance brought back the classic, “Eddie’s better” chant that is so strongly linked to Belfour’s awesome performances in the late 90s, especially on the road to the 1999 Stanley Cup. As Mike Heika writes, the Stars can’t get back to those highs without solid to outstanding goaltending:
To get to where this team wants to get, the goaltending has to be better, and the best way to accomplish that goal is on a night-to-night basis.
