I guess the Stars are gambling on health? Maybe? I’m deliberately positioning that as a question, because I don’t understand the plan. Is Patrick Sharp the thing that makes the Stars a powerhouse? Was it Mattias Janmark, or pointing at Robert Tiffin, Ales Hemsky? To go even more aggro: can I get a firm date on when the Eriksson-for-Seguin credit expires?
The defending Western Conference Champions begin the post-All Star stretch in 11th place. I covered their march back into contention in greater depth elsewhere, but the Stars have 32 games to pass 3 teams in the standings.
