I’m not sure I’ve ever been as frustrated about having a lot of high danger scoring chances as I was last night.
Over and over again, it felt like the Dallas Stars were able to turn the heat on Logan Thompson and the Vegas Golden Knights. And over and over again, Thompson seemed to be vulnerable, unable to control rebounds and putting him in positions where Dallas could capitalize.
Yet time and time again, nothing came from it. Unlucky bounces? Maybe. Vegas clogging up in front of the crease? Perhaps. Whatever the reason may be, the Stars’ goal scorers seemed to always be the bridesmaid, never the bride, as shots were either narrowly saved or the puck never quite found its way on the right stick, save for Jason Robertson’s lone power play goal.
