Ah, yes. If it has to do with staying positive you know it had to be me, right kids? Well, not sure where the positivity, on a scale of 1 to 10, is with the Stars right now.
The injury issues, coupled with the fatigue factor of those still healthy enough to play, look like they're finally catching up with this team. I watched from home last night, and I always gauge the team's performance on Dave Tippett's post-game reaction. If anyone watched last night, you noticed he was pretty compacent. No gruff demeanor, no one-word answers to questions (I've been in a few of those post-game chats. That's when you know he's really ticked). In other words, this team, what's left of it, is giving all it's got.
And it still may not be enough.
So, what do we think, folks... can the few healthy bodies left pull this one through to the postseason, or is it time to plan for those early tee times?

It's getting tough to stay positive when you see what seems to be one or two players getting some type of injury every game. Healthy bodies are getting hard to come by. The young guys are getting a lot of experience filling in for the injured. That's a positive. With the lack of games, other teams coming alive, and the Stars injury bug, I just don't see how they will make it to the post season. Will be highly pleased if they do.
