Well I’m not sure words can quite explain the difficult situation the Dallas Stars have put themselves in. Two games in hand and trailing the Nashville Predators means fate is in your hands. One game in hand and trailing by three points means you need help beyond your control.
Now, instead of taking care of business and being in the playoffs, the Stars find themselves needing to win and hope they get some help from the Columbus Blue Jackets and Carolina Hurricanes. Of course, that might be easier said than done right now.
