I'll admit that writing about a prospects game is folly to begin with on its face. The final score was technically 6-2 and head coach Toby Petersen definitely wasn't happy about it. But also the final score isn't the most important part of the tournament.
From a Texas Stars perspective, Petersen noted that this is essentially the Texas coaching staff's only opportunity to work together before October 10th's season opener. With no preseason games, Petersen and assistants Travis Morin and Maxime Fortunus need to work out their rhythms in a real game environment.
"That's why it was just the three of us on the bench," said Petersen.
