The Dallas Stars have done some evolving over the last few seasons, and will hopefully prove in the next few months that all those growing pains were worth it. In the midst of all the not so good things over the last two seasons, though, the Stars put forth some rather memorable penalty shot efforts.
It’s a pretty special situation, a penalty shot; it’s a chance to for some players to try out the fancy footwork or demonstrate the shooting skills that they may not normally get to. Either way, the penalty shot is a solo effort: it offers players who may normally fade into the background of the game or who are planted firmly on the blue line a chance to shine.
