As we unpeel the Stars' collapse, all sorts of questions come pouring out

I get the people who want to say that injuries contributed to the Stars' collapse this season.

I can clearly see that having Ben Bishop healthy would have not only offered a possibly better option than Kari Lehtonen, but it would have put Lehtonen in a place to perform better.

I truly believe that if Martin Hanzal was out at the end of periods winning faceoffs and shutting down opposition forwards, the Stars probably wouldn't have allowed so many late-period goals that contributed to this downward spiral. You win three of those games, and this is a different situation.
