The post-Gaglardi dinner game in Vancouver has generally been a wonderful victory toast for the Stars, regardless of their place in the standings. Tonight was shaping up to be such a game. Multiple leads, multiple big goals, and multiple nice saves all could have been the story for how the Stars came back from a tough stretch with a three-game win streak on the road.
Instead, Dallas has only five of six points to show for the CGY/EDM/VAN 3-in-4, and it’s that last point that seems so bitterly absent. The Stars had many ways they could have won tonight, but they did not realize any of those ways.
