It doesn't get any easier for Stars with top seed Detroit in West final
“But it's been a different look this year in the playoffs.”
Picture mid-March in Dallas, the Stars struggling to find their game, and someone approaches head coach Dave Tippett with a scary proposition.
The Stars would need to beat powerhouses Anaheim, San Jose and Detroit to reach the Stanley Cup final. That's all.
"Bring it on," Tippett says he would have answered. "Might as well. If we're going to go up the food chain we might as well beat the best, right?"
No disrespect to the other teams who made the NHL playoffs, but there hasn't been a tougher road to the Cup in years. The Ducks, Sharks and Red Wings were the overwhelming favourites to win the Stanley Cup before the post-season began. Now all that's left for No. 5 seed Dallas is knocking off the President's Cup-winning Red Wings in the Western Conference final. No small task. But then again, neither was beating Anaheim or San Jose. Read more
