The Dallas Stars had two less-than-optimal aspects of the opening 20 minutes when they faced off versus the Minnesota Wild in the friendly confines of the American Airlines Center tonight.
First, the power play chance the Stars had in the game was terrible (not really a better way to describe it). They looked shades of last season, with two drop passes back by Klingberg instead of taking the zone with speed. It was discombobulated and had no flow. Secondly, there were a few times where the team allowed point-blank chances in tight in quick succession.
