The Dallas Stars are officially back in the playoff fold. Which is good. Now we can stop hearing about how the Dallas organization has failed to make the playoffs in 6 of their last 7 seasons.
It's not that said statement is untrue. It's just that I prefer to think of Dallas under Jim Nill and Lindy Ruff's tenure, in which they've been successful in leading the way in two out of three seasons. The one miss felt marked by anomalies rather than a lack of leadership, or prudence. There's plenty of both the former, as well as the latter now.
