One year ago today, the Dallas Stars were 19-5-2. That translates to 40 points.
That record was enough to solidify them as the best team in the Western Conference and hoist them to a mere one point behind the Montreal Canadiens for the title of best team in the NHL.
What has happened since then? The Dallas Stars are no longer the Dallas Stars that we used to know and love. This team is different. It’s got some positives to it and definitely has some negatives as well. Overall, it’s a whole new squad and there’s no trying to hide from it.
