How sluggish Stars can go on offensive and avoid repeating mistakes of postseasons past

DALLAS — What Mikko Rantanen did in a four-game span last spring is the stuff of legend, the stuff of video games.It started with a relatively ho-hum 3-point game in Game 5 against the Colorado Avalanche in the first round. Then came a 4-point second period in Game 6. He followed that with three goals and an assist in the third period of a decisive Game 7 victory. Then he went out and had another three-goal period in Game 1 against Winnipeg.Advertisement
