On March 16, 2013, the Dallas Stars welcomed the Chicago Blackhawks to Big D for a showdown on St. Patrick’s Day.
Considering it was the 2013 lockout season filled with bland, old jerseys and Joe Nieuwendyk as general manager, those Stars were very different than the ones we’ve seen since Jim Nill took over. That fact stood out in the game on March 16th.
After three goals from the Hawks in the first period, it was clear that the Stars were in for a long Saturday evening. Three more goals were tallied for Chicago in the second period and two final rounded out the third.
