from Craig Custance of ESPN,

They lost ugly in Game 3. They were all but written off going against a veteran St. Louis Blues team on a mission. And they couldn't care less.

All they did was go out and beat the Blues 3-2 in overtime in Game 4 to regain home-ice advantage and head back to Dallas with the series locked up 2-2.

The Game 3 debacle might have lingered in the minds of observers, but not the guys on the ice. They're having fun and they just announced that this series is going deep when it looked like it might be a quick one.

"You can't play perfect hockey all the time," said Stars captain Jamie Benn, in the understatement of the series. "It was just magnified a bit because it's the playoffs. The message was stay positive, get back at it."

It's hard to truly get behind this Stars team because it's unlike any of the recent Western Conference powers. When things break down, they break down in a big way, as was on full display in Game 3 -- and those moments stick in the memory.
