Remember those good old days when the Dallas Stars ran roughshod through the Eastern Conference as a way of racking up points before going back to the MDK division?
Just like everything in this puzzle of a season, the Stars haven’t quite been able to do that this season. Far from it in fact. Heading into today’s game against the Buffalo Sabres, the Stars, at 2-6-3, have fewer wins against the East than any other team in the NHL.
And with the season slipping through their fingers like the sands through an hourglass, the Stars will have to turn that around somehow if they are to have any shot at making the playoffs in an admittedly down Western Conference race.
