Only a maximum of three Stanley Cup Final games separate the NHL from the 2017 offseason. That’s a crazy thought.
It seems as though just yesterday, the Dallas Stars concluded their stale 34-37-11 season with a 4-3 shootout victory over the Colorado Avalanche. But two days from now will mark the two month anniversary since that game. How crazy is that?
It was a disappointing end to a season that held so much hope in the beginning. Dallas dropped 30 points in the standings between 2015-16 and 2016-17 and, as a result, missed the playoffs by a wide margin.
