If you had to describe the Dallas Stars‘ 2019-20 season opener against the Boston Bruins in one word, which one would you choose?
Gut-wrenching, weird, disappointing, or aggravating may come to mind when weighing this question. But at the end of the day, the word unexpected just serve as the best choice.
There’s no debating that the Bruins are a high-caliber opponent for any team to host when opening its regular season. The 2019 Eastern Conference champions finished last season one win short of the Stanley Cup and retained most of their talent during the offseason.
