It wasn’t Herb Brooks bag-skating Team USA in Norway in 1979, but Sunday was indeed a bag skate for the Dallas Stars.
At least the Stars got to see some pucks in this practice.
The team got quite the workout on Easter Sunday in Frisco that was scheduled to be an off-day. Skating and more skating. One-on-one drills and simple hard work. And some more skating.
That’s what happens when you give up three goals in the final three minutes vs. Los Angeles on a Saturday afternoon that drops you to 1-7 in your last eight. The Stars have to get things back on track, and do it fast. There are only six games left in the regular season and a four-game division trip out west is looming.
