It’s hard to take a single preseason loss all that seriously – not even one as gruesome as the Dallas Stars’ 6-0 drubbing by a Florida Panthers team that’s starting to look like a contender.
But Stars senior staff writer Mike Heika sees a pattern developing. And he advocates dropping it before it becomes a habit:
...Yes, it’s just preseason. Yes, the top players on Saturday were playing their first game since May. Yes, they have time to change this pretty quickly.
Still, the Stars have not looked good so far.
