ST. LOUIS -- In the mosaic of Jamie Benn's career, the metaphorical stained glass window that will ultimately adorn the church of the Dallas Stars -- the St. Louis Blues -- will reluctantly play a starring role. It's a franchise tortured by Benn, run over, danced around and fooled during his 10-year career.
It's who Benn beat in overtime last year and then punctuated the victory with a snap of his stick over his knee. It's whose captain Benn famously sat on behind both the play and the net. They witnessed Benn take on David Backes years ago, and Benn fake out Jordan Binnington with a tricky no-look shot months ago.
