Stars 2018-19 season ends with a whimper

My team’s tenth season ended without a playoff appearance which is pretty frustrating since we made it all the way to the Calder Cup Championship…only to lose to the Marlies. As per the sources I like to check online, the Stars already knew it was over going into the third period because the Admirals won to sew up the fourth spot. Despite having a season over .500 and being in the correct division (no more getting penalized for the California franchises’ wimpy needs), the Stars had a mediocre year. They lacked consistency and I knew the coach didn’t care much in the last few games as he put the college tryout players into the lines. Losing to the Rampage in the end stung too. They were nowhere close to going to the playoffs which is normal for them regardless of who they’re an affiliate for, they were just spoilers and my Stars let it happen.

Well, as the cliche goes, there’s next season. It will be our first without Travis Morin, the last veteran from our fantastic debut. How many teams go to the championship in their first season‽ Las Vegas doing the same last Summer in the NHL made the Stanley Cup more interesting, especially in light of the Crapitals finally winning.

They better retire #23 and hoist it up to the rafters to honor Travis. He had a tremendous career with the Stars and vice versa.
