Remember this Pacific fun? Tune in tonight at about 9:37 on Fox Sports Southwest for a good old fashioned West Coast ice-cream headache with us.
Four weeks ago when the Dallas Stars sat atop the league and the Los Angeles Kings were rocketing toward them at breakneck speed this matchup would have seemed a clash of two Western titans and a possible Conference Final coupling.
The Kings have kept up their end, racing into 2016 with aplomb. The Dallas Stars, however, have lost eight of their last eleven in ugly fashion as they've crashed down to earth, and now a would-be heavy-weight matchup stands more as an impossible spot for a floundering Dallas team with a bad history at Staples.
