Some have questioned why the Dallas Stars would want to be in the new Central Division this season when the competitiveness of the new West could have been more favorable for a team looking to go on another deep run and take advantage of their core’s window. Those someones don’t remember what it was like to have divisional games that started at 9:30 PM local time when the team was in the old Pacific Division.
Suffice it to say that in a market where the Stars struggle to get local media coverage thanks to the Dallas Cowboys, those late night starts do absolutely nothing to help in that regard.
