The Dallas Stars<\/a> sucked last night. I mean, really<\/strong> sucked<\/strong><\/em>. They were pretty much terrible, in a season of not being great, of defying all expectations, of looking good on paper but (usually) not so much when they have to actually play<\/em> another team\u2026<\/em>. It was a bad game, at least from the Stars fan perspective. And probably from the Stars player perspective, too, though I can’t state that with any authority.<\/p>\n

It was bad enough that coach Lindy Ruff apparently decided that some, uh, let’s call it conditioning<\/em> was in order. Practice today featured a suicide skate.<\/p>\n
