Mike Heika, Stars beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the team during a live chat recently. Here are some highlights:
You described Kari Lehtonen as "out of sorts" and "unconfident" this week. I know he wasn't expected to have this big of a role this soon, but why so bad? Especially considering that improving the goaltending has been such a focus?
Heika: Kari has struggled with pressure, and he did that again in the first two games. I think he's at his best when he is flying under the radar, and I thought he would be able to do that in the backup role.
