Saturday night was likely a trying time for many Dallas Stars fans.
As Stars fans sat in front of their TVs and watched as the St. Louis Blues were picked apart on their home ice by the Boston Bruins in a 7-2 routing in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, a certain thought may have crossed your mind at one point or another:
The Stars could have done better than this.
Or maybe it was a variation of that thought (i.e. Ben Bishop wouldn’t have let that goal go in, the Dallas defense wouldn’t be giving up this many chances, the Stars’ penalty kill wouldn’t have given up four power play goals or even four power play opportunities for that matter).
