So here the Dallas Stars are at the end of their East Coast road trip, on the second half of a back-to-back when they lost last night’s game. Playing a Philadelphia Flyers team that is on a five game win streak. Should be interesting, right?
Though the Stars have a long history of ruining Flyers win streaks, dating back to 1980 when they broke a 35 game win streak as the Minnesota North Stars. They just love ruining Philadelphia’s fun. Unfortunately, tonight was apparently the exception that proves the rule.
The biggest story in the first period was special teams, what with the number of penalties called on both teams.
