If nothing else, March 15 seems like an appropriate day to be stabbed in your Dallas Stars fan-feelings.

Mike Heika is one of those who are left to make sense of the Stars' wild swings over the past few days, from utter dominance of the reigning Stanley Cup champions on Friday to their seeming haplessness against the Kings last night.
