The Dallas Stars got outworked from the jump of this one, as voiced by Stars defenseman Ben Lovejoy in his postgame media availability. “I thought we weren’t good enough tonight. I thought they were the more desperate team.”
Dallas lost Game 3 of their first round at home versus the Nashville Predators in a game that was reminiscent of tonight’s Game 3 against the St. Louis Blues in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Another game in which the opposition gets a quick goal against, some uncharacteristic goals let in by Vezina finalist goaltending, and three separate tying efforts by the Stars tonight marked an entertaining — and frustrating — game as the Stars sit down two games to one in the series heading into Game 4 on Wednesday night.
