How cryptic would it be of me to say this is the beginning of the end? In either case, it is in a way. The Dallas Stars have hit the home stretch of the season where every point lost or won has significance and consequence. While All-Star weekend was a nice distraction, it’s clear that the Stars were not interested in being distracted from the work ahead of them.
And tonight, that work starts with the L.A. Kings. The Stars didn’t go into the weekend quite like they wanted- a 4-1 loss to the Leafs is never anyone’s idea of a solid wrap-up.
