Things never really seemed to go the Dallas Stars’ way this year. The Stars fell from the best record in the Western Conference (50-23-9) to one of the worst (34-37-11). They missed the playoffs by 15 points and are in a delicate position at the moment.
They parted ways with head coach Lindy Ruff on Sunday afternoon and are now in search of a new bench boss. The goaltending needs repairs, the defense needs adjustments, and the special teams are a mess.
All in all, it was a nightmarish season that most Stars fans would probably like to forget entirely.
