from Jennifer Floyd-Engel of the Star-Telegram,
That crushing Game 6 loss to the No. 7-seeded Anaheim Ducks in 2003 capped a demoralizing conference semifinal series loss and arguably began what amounts to a near death spiral in Dallas Stars hockey.
They have not gotten out of the first round since 2003. Nor does anybody other than themselves expect them to when this playoff go-round begins Thursday.
Because to do so requires facing the beast, staring down ghosts, going back to Anaheim and beating Jiggy and his Ducks.
Only now, five years later, the Stars are the under-underdogs.
