They say the second time is never quite as good as the first. That applies to the St. Louis Blues second time around with the Dallas Stars in the 2019 NHL preseason.
All in all, this was your typical preseason game. The Blues did not look that cohesive, especially in crunch time near the end of the game.
The disappointing thing about this contest was the lackluster special teams units on both sides for the Blues. We will get into specifics later on, but you have to hope this game was not a great indicator of how things are going to go in 2019-20 or the problem is with the players and not the coaching.
