No one took the Game 7 loss in Dallas harder than Jack Drury.
There were plenty of glassy-eyed, thousand-yard stares in the visitors locker room at American Airlines Center after the Colorado Avalanche yielded a two-goal lead in the final 13 minutes in a 4-2 loss to the rival Stars. Players were visibly stunned by what had just happened.
Drury, sitting at his stall, was overcome by an avalanche of emotions. Several teammates shuffled over to console him.
The loss was far from Drury’s fault, but he was in the penalty box when Wyatt Johnston scored the series-winning goal with 3:56 remaining.
