I saw someone post on X on Sunday that despite the Dallas Stars’ questionable run of form lately, it’s good for fans to focus on the bigger picture. Despite a tough weekend against the top of the division, and some causes for concern elsewhere, the Stars continue to bag points consistently.
It’s true — there really aren’t any throwaway games in this league (just ask the Winnipeg Jets, who dropped one to the Buffalo Sabres over the weekend). It certainly doesn’t stop the questions, but it should stop the sky from falling. At this point in the season, there’s little question the Stars will make the playoffs, so the more important things are making sure they get there as healthy and gelling as possible.
