Loser points on the road against the East: Ingredient #6 in the Recipe for a Successful Season.
***
I’m not going to take much time here with another game coming right up, and you already know all the salient points anyway: Anton Khudobin, The Posts, Penalties, and Radek Faksa. The Stars didn’t deserve to win this game, but they got something out of it anyway. That’s been the theme for for this road trip. I can think of worse trips.
Given all that, it surprised me how upsetting Brad Marchand’s game-winner was. In a game I expected the Stars to lose for large portions of it, a 5-on-3 goal really riled me up.
