I wanted to write something a little more uplifting, but such has become an impossible feat.
The Dallas Stars are wrapping up one of the worst stretches in franchise history over the span of the next week or so, as the team once destined to challenge for the Stanley Cup has lost nine out of their last 10 games and fallen from Wild Card lock to NHL Draft lottery team.
The only consolation prize to a month from hell are the superstars on our club. Even when things look as bleak as they’ve ever been (quite literally; the eight-game losing streak is their longest since the 1993 move to Dallas), we have guys like Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin to gush over nightly.
