Since the Dallas Stars resumed their quest of winning a Stanley Cup this season, the message from staff, coaches, and players is that of a club focused on a singular mission that will take nearly three months to complete. The work has begun and there is still much work to do.
The road towards the ultimate goal begins for the Stars on Thursday, July 30th, as the club takes on the Nashville Predators in their only exhibition game. Then it is off to the four-team, three-game round robin phase to determine the final seeding for the top four teams in the Western Conference.
