If there’s one thing that virtually every Dallas Stars fan, reporter, player, coach, and executive can agree on, it’s this: the Stars are mediocre.
I could bust out some fancy graphs or numbers to show you this, but I’m just going to go old school and point to the standings. As of writing this (January 1), the Stars (44 points) currently rank 17th in the league and sit in the second Wild Card spot with a little breathing room. In other words, average.
Optimists will point at the Central Division standings as a beacon of hope.
