DENVER -- Through the first 10 weeks of the season, including Saturday night's 6-4 loss to Colorado, the Stars have worn many faces, and with each approaching game or period or shift, which one appears is unknown. Each mask brings a different team on to the ice and each mask brings varied results on the scoreboard and the win column.
Sometimes, there's the team that appeared during the first period Saturday night. It's the one without energy or offense or even solid goaltending. It's a group that nearly gets skated out of the building, and was fortunate to enter the first intermission facing a 3-0 deficit thanks to a pair of overturned goals and a post rang.
