Dallas can certainly still beat the Avalanche in this second-round playoff series, but Game 1 was a seriously poor way of delivering the message.
Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger looks down at the ice after allowing an overtime goal in a 4-3 loss to the Colorado Avalanche in Game 1 of the second-round playoff series Tuesday at American Airlines Center.under Pete DeBoer and all you’ve ever known is losing Game 1 of a playoff series, then what happened very late Tuesday night was not that big of a deal..
That’s how the Stars carried a 3-0 lead into the second period, and only a stick save by defenseman Josh Manson kept Jamie Benn from making it 4-0 in the final two seconds of the opening period.

The Stars played about 30-35 Tuesday night. They need more. Where does it come from? This speed skating contests feels like no place for Joe Pavelski, who did get his stick on a puck for an assist, his first point in eight games.He has one point — a Game 4 empty-net goal in Vegas — after eight playoff games. A year ago he had five goals and eight assists after eight postseason games.
