Stars fans all understand the situation. Mired in injury madness, subjected to weather and virus delays, the defending Western Conference Champion Dallas Stars have their work cut out for them to even make this year’s playoffs. Each week we are going to do that thing where we cover our eyes but crack two fingers open to see what progress the Stars have made.
Nuts and bolts, we will be looking at calendar weeks, Sunday-to-Saturday. The focus is on point accumulation, rather than games won, tied, or lost. The reason for this is to properly illustrate the challenge facing Dallas, aka, they need to out-accumulate at least four teams to make the big dance, and to properly account for the impact of the Loser Point.
