Sometimes uniformity is a good thing. When you’re obeying traffic laws on the highway and hoping everyone else is doing the same, when you’re grilling a steak, when you’re trying to survive in a dystopian society. However, one place uniformity does not belong, the Dallas Stars have proven, is on the blue line. When all your defenders are 6’0 or 6’0 adjacent and somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 lbs, with the overwhelming majority of them left-handed shooters, well. What you end up with is a whole lot of uniformity, in both size and skill.
Which apparently loses hockey games.
