0.21 percent. No, that’s not the chances of Bigfoot falling out of the sky and tap-dancing on the roof of the American Airlines Center tonight. That’s now the Dallas Stars’ chances of winning the Stanley Cup this season.
When it comes to whether they can even qualify for the playoffs, things aren’t much better at 2.87 percent. And with 23 games left in the season, those odds seem just about right.
This has not been the great season for the Stars that their fans expected it to be back in September of 2016. After posting a 50-23-9 record in 2015-16 and falling one win short of the Western Conference Finals, many expected Dallas to excel this season.
