The Dallas Stars’ 6-2 win over the St. Louis Blues Thursday night was nothing short of a dominating team performance. They were finally able to capitalize on their opportunities and it seemed as if it was a big step in the right direction.
As great as that game was and as hopeful as everyone might be at the moment, there’s still the reality that the Stars’ win put them at .500. That’s a low standard for any franchise and it’s something Dallas is hoping to change in the games to come.
Overcoming it will only be possible if they approach each game as an individual task and not overwhelm themselves by looking too far ahead.
