The Stars didn't make it this year, but the team that grabbed this year's 8th spot is more similar than you might realize. Also, Alex Burrows has a broken rib, and Wayne Gretzky wants to make sure you know how good Connor McDavid is.
While the Stars are noticeably absent from this year's playoffapalooza, that doesn't mean you can't still watch the fun. You can root for Brenden Morrow and the Lightning, for instance; or how about Mike and James, Inc: the Nashville duo? Of course, Steve Ott is still doing his best over in Missouri as well, if that means anything to you.
