While squeaking by the Colorado Avalanche (in the goal column) to win for just the second time in the first five contests may not be exactly what fans had hoped for, Stars supporters should be thrilled at what they saw in that game and what they have seen overall in the opening week.
It’s difficult to get excited about 2-3-0, especially after the offseason the Stars had. Context is important when considering that record, however.
With a brand new coach and plenty of roster turnover, a perfect start was never likely. In the first week, fans really just need to see something that will give them hope.
