It’s not like the Dallas Stars played an altogether bad game, but it was still enough to warrant a loss.
On Tuesday night, the Stars entered the Mile High City with the longest win streak in the NHL at four games. Dallas owned a record of 5-3-0 and were rolling. Their play was dominant and it didn’t seem like any team could stop them.
That all came to a halt when the Colorado Avalanche, losers of three straight, took the Stars by complete surprise. They were quicker, stronger, and played a much more dedicated game. Meanwhile, the Stars struggled to keep up and gave an overall lazy effort.
