No two ways about it: the shootout loss in Columbus was disappointing—especially if you’re Ken Hitchcock—but a point on the road in the East is never something to sniff at. The Stars in particular have had a tough time forcing the issue to collect those sweet, sweet loser points, in fact. Josh Bogorad mentioned yesterday that this was the Stars’ first time forcing overtime all season. Yes, you read that right: every other overtime period this year had come as a result of the Stars’ losing a lead instead of coming back to force the extra frame.
So, Are the Dallas Stars Good Now?
