My alternate title for this was “A Tale of Two Stars Teams,” but I decided the Dallas Stars had way more than two identities in their 6-5 shootout loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs last night.
The Stars at the start were the team we have been seeing recently, who were unable to keep up with fast teams and unable to produce offense. Then, the Stars kicked it up a gear and began a scoring frenzy, proving to everyone that they really did have the talent to beat some of the best teams in the league.
