DALLAS — It was already going to be an emotional night at American Airlines Center Friday.
Then the tragic events of last Sunday on the Las Vegas Strip took place and the hearts of those planning to attend the start of the Dallas Stars’ season and the Golden Knights’ debut got a little heavier.
The Stars were going to honor the memory of team broadcaster Dave Strader prior to the puck drop. Strader died Sunday after losing his more than year’s battle with bile duct cancer. He was 62.
But there were the shooting victims in Las Vegas to also honor.
