It’s almost like the Dallas Stars have a formula for winning. When they are aggressive and physical, when the defense chips in, and when they don’t give up on rebounds, they create a confident vibe and work together seamlessly to down other teams.
And the Stars were indeed physical. Stephen Johns mentioned that St. Louis is, itself, a physical team and the Stars went into the game knowing it was going to be an aggressive game. With two fights and 28 hits just from them, the Stars didn’t get disappointed on that front.
