10 days. That’s how long it’s been since the Dallas Stars last tasted sweet victory. And no, there has not been any league-wide event that has caused a shutdown for a scheduled number of days. The Stars have had plenty of opportunities to win over the past 240 hours. They just haven’t.
Yes, I’m talking about the team that hosted a game seven in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs exactly seven months ago tomorrow. It’s crazy how quickly things change.
But that’s how it is. The Stars are now eight points out of the final playoff spot in the West and are just about out of daylight.
