You really notice the Dallas Stars' unique playing style in games like these. With the score tied for the entire third period, Dallas continued going up-and-down, even in the waning minutes of regulation. Most teams in that situation get coy and cagey--such as, for instance, the Canadiens, who generated a measly three scoring chances the entire period--but Dallas kept pushing the pace, kept trying to grab the victory any time opportunity nosed into the doorjamb. It almost backfired, but it almost worked, too.
That's our high-event team, and when you look at their record of 40-20-8, it's tough to say unequivocally that they need to start playing a different way.
