“It’s only the preseason, it’s only the preseason, it’s only the preseason…”
Dallas Stars fans are probably thankful for this statement today. That’s because on Thursday night, the Stars were victimized by the Colorado Avalanche in a 5-1 routing. It was the Stars’ second preseason game and their first on the road.
The Stars went with a primarily young roster while the Avs included plenty of veterans in their lineup. Experience ended up beating exuberance pretty handily.
There’s no need to sugarcoat it: Dallas was beat pretty horribly. The Avalanche scored three goals on their first three shots in the first six minutes of the game.
