Despite Dallas' proximity to a playoff spot, the scent of standings luxury feels tenuous at best. Even in victory, the game against LA last night felt like an affirmation of their struggles. The LA contest was a reflection of chaos rather than structure. Like hockey's version of Battlfield Earth, but with less grungy dreadlocks. Nobody was expecting the equivalent of Scorsese in the follow up, but surely something in between was possible? Anaheim shut out Dallas 2-0, validating Dallas’ more cold than hot temperature this season.
