If you tuned in this past weekend you do not need a thesaurus to know the Dallas Stars were – at times – flighty, misguided and tempestuous. OK, I did grab the thesaurus for that last one. However, I felt strongly that I needed a fitting adjective to drive home the mood following the Dallas Stars first back-to-back contests of the 2020-2021 season.
Save the final thirty minutes and change of the second contest, Dallas did not look like the squad that opened the season at American Airlines Arena.
