Texas comes off a grueling jaunt through Illinois for a couple of Christmastide tilts against the San Antonio Rampage (11-13-5-3) this weekend. The home-and-home set could see the Stars pull themselves out of the basement and into tenuous playoff positioning or push themselves further into the deep, dank cellar of the Central.
What will four points against the Rampage mean at this juncture, if anything?
Ryan Pennington: It will mean that I am a lot closer to winning the bet we’d made about whether or not the Stars would finish this season ahead of the Rampage.
