The Texas Stars arrived home earlier this week with a 1-1 series tie in the Calder Cup Finals. That was definitely good news.
Through the first two games, the Dallas Stars’ AHL affiliate put on quite a showing against the Toronto Marlies. In game one of the series, the Stars put on an offensive onslaught against the AHL’s best regular season team. And somehow, they still lost 6-5.
In game two, the Stars and Marlies were both much more defensively sound and structured. But in this case, it was Texas who rallied from a deficit and finished on top with a 2-1 win.
