For the Dallas Stars, its a bit of a gut check time. It’s also a time to take a step back to reevaluate the common criticisms of the team.
For the gut check, the team is in a stretch of games where no lead is safe. A month ago, just having a lead (at least in the first half of any game) would have been a blessing. Now, getting up isn’t a problem – but it seems like both the turtle and the pedal to the metal strategies to hold onto leads are failing.
The team is 6-2-2 in its last 10 games, which is a legitimate 70% point percentage.
