In most everyday cases, it’s good to be ahead. Whether it’s waking up early, finishing a project ahead of its due date, or even going to the bathroom before a movie, it’s always nice to be one step ahead.
But in the Dallas Stars case, it’s not the best thing in the world that they are currently ahead of most of the competition. Well, it would be if they had built a stronger start to their 2016-17 campaign.
The Stars entered 2017 with a record of 16-15-7 and 39 points. They have 38 games in the rearview mirror and 44 ahead of them.
