Losing a two goal lead to the Colorado Avalanche, sending the contest into overtime, which John Klingberg scored in but that the NHL didn't count because Klingberg's skates didn't have enough subatomic particle interaction with the ice, which forced a shootout sounds about right when talking the 2016-2017 Dallas Stars season.
Sure, Dallas won, but it was another display of the hockey gods' cruelty; even in victory, Dallas had to be reminded of something rotten.
Talking about this Dallas team like a Thrashers squad is disorienting. Everything about Dallas' numbers last season suggested this wasn't a Flock of Seagulls.
