Now that the Dallas Stars 2017-18 campaign is spent and we’re facing down a long and unsure off season, it’s easy to see the season as a waste. As time we’ll never get back. In reality, it’s just another chapter in the Dallas Stars story, full of its ups and downs and pros and cons, just like any other chapter.
While our expectations for a straight path to success may have done us in here, let’s not miss the opportunity to see the pieces that did come together this season. We have all summer to commiserate over the negatives and beat that horse even deader.
