Imagine a world where you smile for two days because Paul Stastny was just wide on an empty-netter from 104 feet away.
Ponder a place where you can't sleep because officials robbed Radek Faksa on a cheesy holding penalty, but you care not that Antoine Roussel slashed the heck out of Vladimir Tarasenko and played on with impunity.
Picture a planet where you're still ticked that Stars coach Lindy Ruff decided to play Antti Niemi Saturday.
Such an ecosphere really does exist, but it's one that Stars fans have trouble seeing. It's called the playoffs, and the locals haven't really visited much.
