On October 13, 2016, Dallas Stars fans everywhere had no idea about the pain they would endure down the long road that was the 2016-17 season. Starting the year off with a commanding win didn’t necessarily help either.
Fast forward to six months later and the Stars are cleaning out their lockers and heading home for an extended summer vacation. What happened in that six-month span that derailed Dallas so much? Both the Stars and their fans would probably love to forget about it.
It was an ugly year to say the least. The Stars’ 2016-17 campaign was riddled with injuries, inconsistencies, and disappointments.
