Late-season games against the Predators are supposed to be miraculous. In 2015, it was the Art Ross buzzer-beater. Last season, Spezza got his 30th against the Perds as the Stars geared up for a serious playoff run, we figured.
Tonight, the miracle was that anyone made it out of the AAC on two good legs. And not everyone did, as Justin Dowling looks to be done for the season, proving that the universe is, as we had all figured by now, the Big Bully with Negligent Upbringing who is just kicking the poor ol’ Stars around for fun at this point.
