Not like you could easily see it, my playoffs-progression counter down in the lower right part of the site. I know one person caught it because she told me how amused she was over me posting my high scores from Pinballz.
Anyway, with their dismal loss Friday and other teams who has a chance in the conference winning, the Stars are now mathematically eliminated. Ergo, if they still won their remaining 13 games, the 26 points would only give them 74 in the standings while the current team in eighth has 75.
Onward to this being the…WORST. SEASON. EVER.
I’m not choked up about it. We put down our first 25 percent toward renewing our season tickets as a show of confidence. Meanwhile, Dallas may succeed in holding on to first in the Pacific Division and the playoffs are a cinch. They owe it all to Vincour, Larsen and Bachmann who plucked away during our season. I know Big D took Garbutt too yet I wasn’t impressed.
Now to get across the finish line around Mid-April, relax and then see how things shake out after July 1. The biggest concern will be the NHL and NHLPA ironing out a new CBA.
