I’m not quite sure how to start this recap other than to say the Dallas Stars game against the New York Rangers led to me using the phrase “boy howdy” in a sentence without being the least bit ironic. And also a fair number of less flattering phrases with four-word modifiers.
It was that type of night at Madison Square Garden, as the Stars continued their incredibly frustrating streak of giving up a goal on the first shot of the game, then rode a huge roller coaster and eventually emerged with a 7-6 win that somehow feels like both a heartwrenching loss and needed victory.
