Observations: Now is the time to look at both sides of the Stars' debate on defense

In this, an election year, it is incumbent upon The Fourth Estate to give equal time to each side of the issue. We must strive to be fair and impartial.

So to answer the Nattering Nabobs of Negativism who would have you believe the Stars don't quite have this defense thing figured out (Happy Gilmore, really?), we must offer an opposing view based on statistical data.

Consider these facts:

_ When leading after two periods, the Stars are 25-0-2. Only Washington and Chicago have more wins.

_ In even strength shot attempt differential, Dallas ranks second behind Los Angeles at 53.
