This is the preview I was hoping I wouldn’t have to write for tonight’s game. The next two games to be honest. By virtue of the Nashville Predators beating the Carolina Hurricanes last night, the Dallas Stars are officially out of the playoffs this season.
So many places that you could try and place blame but I’m not sure how much any of it is warranted. This is one of those seasons where you almost have to throw up your hands and just say “oh well”. With so many games in so many days and all the injuries and Covid protocols and ice storms it’s actually quite remarkable Dallas was even in the playoff hunt so late in the season.
