Over the past few years, the Dallas Stars have never seemed to truly find a happy medium in their style of play. While not many teams find the medium on a consistent basis, the Stars can just never seem to find it at all.
What I mean by this is that every hockey team has a three-pronged attack: offense, defense, and goaltending. Most NHL teams can be considered strong in at least two of these categories and are decent in the final one. Very few possess dominance in all three, but when they do they have a strong shot at Lord Stanley.
