Here's a lesson in how NOT to lose a game: The Stars had a 2-0 lead and all the momentum in the world against a very, very frustrated Blue Jackets team. Then the penalties started. Then they were miffed about a Columbus goal that should've been nullified by an icing penalty.
Bottom line: The Stars held onto their angst too long and just didn't get over it. So it's a game they shouldn't have lost, an opportunity to put more points between them and Anaheim lost.
Better luck next time. We'll see how they do to finish against Buffalo on Thursday. By the way, the Sabres have gone through big-time losses lately.
