The 2019-2020 Dallas Stars seemed poised to give us a fairytale sports story. A Cinderella-esque “from worst to first” type tale after starting the season 1-7-1 and pulling themselves back into the playoff picture. After enduring a number of extreme highs (the 14-1-1 stretch, hosting the Winter Classic) to extreme lows (a March slump, an unexpected coaching change when the team had momentum pointed in the right direction), and in the weirdest season we’ll likely ever see thanks to COVID-19 putting the world on pause, winning the Stanley Cup would have been the ending befitting a Charles Perreault story.
