1,089 days have passed since the Dallas Stars and St. Louis Blues last competed against each other in a playoff game that had the potential to decide the series. And for many Stars fans, the memory of that night still stings to the core.
Fresh off of winning their first Central division regular season title with a 50-win season and entering the playoffs as the top seed in the Western Conference, the Stars had their hands full in the second round. After working their way to a round one victory over the Wild, Dallas was stuck in a 3-2 hole against the Blues in round two.
