You cannot win them all, and the Dallas Stars reminded us of that fact with last night’s 2-1 loss to the Anaheim Ducks.
To be fair, the Disney Squad isn’t even the worst team in the Pacific Division this year — and let’s face it, John Gibson is still John Gibson (although why John Gibson is still a Duck is one of those mysteries that doesn’t bear a great deal of contemplation). But that doesn’t fully excuse the Stars’ self-inflicted problems and their generally lackluster performance in a matchup they probably should have won.
Stars senior staff writer Mike Heika examined a game in which the Stars “made some mistakes and didn’t make it hard enough on Anaheim” in his latest article:
“They’re a hard-working team and when you’re not on top of your game, and really clicking and connecting, they’re going to make you turn over pucks, and we did too much of that,” said forward Sam Steel, who assisted on the Stars’ only goal.
