Goaltending has been a familiar refrain for the Dallas Stars this season. Really, it’s been an issue to some degree since Marty Turco left town after the 2009/2010 season. Fans have lamented the lack of a proven backup, the lack of talent on the farm, and now, the seeming lack of a True #1. The Stars have failed, goes the narrative, just look at the problem, and look at its duration.
In no season has that failure been more evident than this one. With the Stars seemingly poised to take a major step forward, it seemed like an upgrade between the pipes would be a no-brainer.
