from Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News,
Overcoming adversity is something we all do, yet when it’s laid out before us on the Zenith in vivid Victory Green, it seems downright noble. What the Stars did to the Penguins was inconceivable, and yet it happened. They grabbed hold of a game that looked like it was going to end 8-0 and they won it 3-2. They ended a six-game losing streak in Pittsburgh and posted their first victory there since 2000. They rallied to score the latest game-winning goal since the team moved to Texas in 1993.
When the Stars scored with 2.9 seconds remaining, the official time of the goal was 19:57 of the third period. Twice, the Stars have scored at 19:55 in Dallas (1995 Guy Carbonneau vs. Boston and 2011 Jamie Benn vs. Phoenix). Once, they scored at 19:59 in Minnesota (1988).
That, in and of itself, makes Thursday’s win special.
What makes it more special is the fact the Stars easily could have let that game slip away, and nobody would have thought anything of it.
