Death, taxes, and gut-wrenching third periods deep in the heart of Texas.
The bad news: The Dallas Stars dropped their opening night contest to the defending Eastern Conference Champion Boston Bruins on home ice.
The good news: Jim Montgomery’s squad plays like a vengeful green headache.
Lady luck didn’t offer the Stars much on Thursday night, as Blake Comeau, Jason Dickinson, and Roman Polak all exited the ice at different parts of the game, subsequently forcing Dallas to significantly shorten the bench throughout the remainder of this one.
