We're rolling out a special feature this summer here at Defending Big D: Dallas Stars Play Of The Year. We want to put it to the Stars fans and the readers of DBD to determine just which play was truly the most exciting, the most game-changing of the season. We're going to break it down by month, picking a winner for October, November, December, etc before having a vote among all the winners for each month. We'll present a video highlight of each play and you -- the readers --- will vote on the winner.
Beware the ides of March. Jamie Benn trends worldwide at the beginning of the month. Then we lost Richie to a concussion which was no bueno. We also saw the beginnings of the big push that got us back right in the fight for the 8th seed in the West. Hello, roller coaster ride!
On with voting!! Tell us which is your play of the month. Videos are after the jump. As always, feel free to debate the selections in the comment section. If you find a big play I might have overlooked, link to that one and I'll add it to the list.
