Sunday mornings are always good when the Dallas Stars win the night before. But when they absolutely crush their opposition, the following Sunday seems a little bit brighter.
That must be why today seems so extra special.
Last night, the Stars welcomed the Buffalo Sabres to Big D to kick off their three-game homestand. They sat on an average record of 7-6-0 after receiving a 5-2 pummeling from the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night.
Time was running out for Dallas to make a significant statement in the early portion of the season. They had been a hot and cold team all season, bouncing from dominant performances to weak performances.
