The Dallas Stars ended 2016-17 with a 34-37-11 record, which greatly disappointed just about every party involved. It was an emotionally draining season, especially for the players. Their bad luck with injury was too overpowering for any real momentum to get going.
A need to justify every disappointing loss is over. Now, it’ll just be a waiting game to see what kind of work the team is going to put in during the offseason. General Manager Jim Nill wasted no time on his end, announcing that head coach Lindy Ruff will not return for the upcoming season.
