Dallas Stars goaltending has been an easy focal point for critics over the past couple of years, and for good reason. Ever since Kari Lehtonen lost his fastball in the 2014 Anaheim series, Dallas has gotten only one great stretch of goaltending, that being Antti Niemi’s first half from last year. That chunk of netminding combined with the stellar team play to catapult Dallas to the top of the conference and blah blah you know all this. I’ve written it so many times. Niemi was good for a little while, and that helped the Stars be great enough to withstand the second half, etc.
