In the offseason, I like to look back at the year and have you all relive some of the glorious moments. Whether that is goals, hip checks, pucks getting caught in visors and making you look like a pirate — there are good moments in a season that many felt disappointed in due to the lack of playoffs.
To get to a “goal of the year” I decided to break it down by month. There were a LOT of goals scored by the Dallas Stars. 257 total to be exact, good for second overall in the league. That’s a lot of goals to try to pick the best 5-10 out of. Instead, we’re going to look at the best of the best of each month in the season, vote on the month’s best goal, and at the end of the series the winners of each month will be brought together for this year’s “Goals of the Year” and we’ll pick the best one.
Without further ado, I present to you the best of October for your Dallas Stars.
Trevor Daley puts one in baseball style versus Corey Crawford and the Chicago Blackhawks to open the 2014-2015 scoring (October 10, 2014)
