In response to the post just above, yes I agree we (me) may be over reacting, but it is two slumps in a row, separated by a win streak. Going back to "99 (since we are all really talking about whether we are a Cup contender, aren't we?) Stars didn't lose two in a row (IIRC) and that was a goal for the Stars this year. They know that the key to being good is avoid losing streaks. Getting one point out of the STL game, when dead tired against a good team was an example of that kind of attitude.
Following up with 2 blow out losses is not. Will be interesting to see what Chicago does in the next game. Yes, I may be overly worried, but for 6 years, we never had the fire to stop losing, kept making the same mistakes over and over. To the degree that this creeps into the current Stars, I worry. Just like watching the Cowboys or any football team. In reality, the holding calls, other penalties at the wrong time bad play calling, inability to get a 3rd and 1, etc. are all indicative of a poor team - yes things do happen, but if they happen often enough, there is a reason besides mojo.
Yes, I know I sound like a typical fan. But, all i was asking for is Benn to call a players only meeting and show some real fire about not losing.
