Is it better to be lucky or good? The Dallas Stars wrestled with that question last night as they beat the Calgary Flames 2-0 at home.
The win gave the Stars, a team that had lost four of their last six games, a helpful boost in the Western Conference playoff race. But it wasn’t the kind of win that Dallas had been used to picking up this season.
Whenever Dallas won a game during their first 62 contests, they seemed to always do it in a relatively dominant fashion. Whether the Stars owned the possession game, controlled the flow of the game, or simply outdid their opponent on offense or defense, they always won in an impressive fashion.
