The Dallas Stars’ injury (and illness) troubles have been a matter of fairly brutal public record for the entire 2016-17 season to date. But as most of the big guns slowly rejoin the team, and the sheer number of missing players gradually starts coming back into something like league average, Lindy Ruff says it’s time to declare his squad healthy and move on.
The Stars you see now are as close to themselves as they need to be, and Ruff wants to to stop talking about getting back up to speed and just do it, writes Mike Heika:
With his team getting close to healthy, the Stars coach said he was tired of talking about all of the injuries that have dominated conversation this season.
