As the playoff season ensues, it’s almost reassuring to watch some of the Stars’ competitors be steamrolled. Of course, Dallas Stars fans can empathize with watching the brutal first round of the competition but hopefully, it’s a wake-up call for the players to utilize their downtime to improve. Taking breaks is crucial in injury prevention and mental stability.
Imagine a Stars team in which their young, explosive energy was channeled into organized play. The team could have potential to be a real threat for competing teams; however, it’s up to them to buy into Hitchcock’s visions, as they deviate a little bit from the norm.
