Not that fans needed any reminder, but as the Stars' season grinds to an end, the reasons for disappointment are everywhere.
Curtis McKenzie suffered an eye injury Thursday in Boston and flew home to Dallas. Meanwhile, Ales Hemsky aggravated an earlier injury and is also not expected to be available for Saturday's game at Carolina.
Bad luck.
Just as the goalies are starting to get their numbers down, the offense has dried up.
Bad timing.
And as Dallas heads into its final weekend away from home this season, it has to deal with the proposition that this edition might have the worst road record since the team moved from Minnesota in 1993.
