Blame the psychology of playoff hockey, where everything from scoring streaks to momentum swings take on lives of their own. DeBoer has seen enough playoff hockey to understand when bad things happen to good hockey teams. And for the moment, plenty of bad things are happening to his Stars, as evidenced by their 5-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild in Game 3 Friday. We respond in Game 2, they respond in Game 3. Teams up 2-1 in playoff series go on to win the series 69.4% of the time.
