Just go back in time a few months – right around to the climax of the Jason Robertson will-he-won’t-he-sign saga. How many of you have predicted the Dallas Stars to be this good this early?
When we were doing a Central Division primer here at Defending Big D, we expected an improvement over the 98 points they scored last season, if ever a slight one. But this? None of us could have predicted what actually transpired for the first 40-something games this season. Pete DeBoer and his coaching staff has had a great impact on how the Stars are playing basically in every game situation, be it on the offensive or defensive side of things.
