It’s been quite the turn of events for the Dallas Stars since their exhilarating third period comeback in Game 1. Since that game, the Edmonton Oilers have outscored the Stars 9-1. It inherently has me thinking, was our victory in Game 1 a fluke? Keep in mind, the Stars were down 3-1 entering the third period in a game where Edmonton was dominating. Anyway, the past is the past and the Stars are looking ahead to tonight’s tilt in what is a crucial game. They will need more from their top players, who have seemed non-existent this series.
Dallas Morning News writer Tim Cowlishaw published a piece yesterday calling on Mikko Rantanen to return to the form we got used to earlier this postseason to help the Stars get past the Oilers.
