Krys Barch takes exceptionRight when the boat has begun to take on water, all hands are not on deck.
Do you think I can shoehorn in another analogy or idiom?
The Stars did managed a 3-1 road win against Colorado last night without Brenden Morrow, Alex Goligoski, goalkeep Kari Lehtonen and Adam Burish.
The Stars somehow wound up with a 6-6-1 November record despite five losses in a row mid-month (and three shutouts). This is why that hot start meant so much: It would literally only go downhill from there.
Now the Stars will really be tested. The depth they built up in the off-season will need to show up. It did last night with Mike Ryder and Eric Nystrom notching the three goals. The lack of guys to pick up the slack have killed the Stars the past two seasons. We are learning right now what the depths of this roster can do.
Also, the special teams will need to keep their head above water. The penalty kill has remained steadily ordinary, but the power play's slipped quite a bit. It doesn't help having Goligoski and Lehtonen hurt in these areas.
All is not lost. Keep the faith. The Stars have the Senators and Islanders at the American Airlines Center Thursday and Saturday. Both bad Eastern Conferences and both very winnable in spite of everything.
