In front of a sell-out crowd full of anticipation and excitement, the Dallas Stars began their season not with a bang but with a whimper.
A lot of that was due to Marc-Andre Fleury, the Vegas Golden Knights goaltender who showed every bit his veteran experience in net. Calm, well-positioned, and standing on his head, he led the expansion team to their first ever win in the NHL.
For most of the game, I thought we were going to witness a goalie duel, with Ben Bishop putting in a very good effort himself.
