The Stars management failed to address their goaltending issues, and by doing so, punting a prime-year of Seguin/Benn. They looked completely inept when a discounted Ben Bishop somehow ended up in Los Angels.
Say what you want about those terrible decision, but for one night at least Keri Lehtonen made it seem like the goaltending in Texas is just fine.
Lehtonen made 42 saves and the Capitals, for once, failed to score a half-doz. Holtby, usually dependable, had an off night and the Capitals lost.
But, they have a 100% chance of making the Playoffs, so who cares?
That was actually the first time the Caps lost at home this year.
Here's a crazy stat: Braydon Holtby has never beaten the Stars.
Had I known that going in, I wouldn't have drafted him as my DFS goalie last night. Had I had a goalie who didn't get negative points, I would have won a few bucks.
As it was, I won back all but 30 cents of the $2.50 I bet. It was a fun night anyways.
Too bad it's just an exhibition game at this point. If we're lucky it will be a Final preview.
