Dallas Stars head coach Jim Montgomery said it best on Thursday night.
“I thought our process was good and I thought our execution was good,” Montgomery said following Game 1 of the second round. “I think our effort can be better.”
That perfectly sums up the Stars’ opening effort in round two at Enterprise Arena.
The Dallas Stars paid a visit to the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night to officially kick off their round two series. The Game 1 showdown came less than 72 hours after the Stars had knocked off the Nashville Predators in overtime of Game 6 to officially close out their first-round series with a 4-2 victory.
