From Esa Lindell to John Klingberg, now we get to talk about the other half of the Dallas Stars’ top pairing in the 2016-17 season.
I’m not generally given to passionate outbursts (this is not true) but if I’d realized at the end of last year how vital Alex Goligoski was to the success of John Klingberg, I’d have thrown myself groveling at his feet and asked him to at least stay until Klingberg was ready to fly on his own. Because if there’s one thing the beginning of the season proved, it’s that he really wasn’t.
