1. That’s pretty interesting. I wonder how the distribution of stars between each position would play out. Like if it’s better to have a star goalie, defenseman, or a few forwards.

2. What is the definition of a star?

3. This is funny to see after Vegas won the cup with maybe 2 stars?

4. Who would have ever imagined that teams with good players achieve success

5. So, the Avalanche or Vegas? Haha

6. So then why doesn’t Dallas win every year?

   Checkmate, atheist

7. They just added ‘star’ to make it less ‘No shit, Sherlock’.

   ‘True Star’ – Proven player with good stats

   ‘Star Season’ – Player with better stats than past seasons

   So: If a team is going to make the Stanley Cup Finals and actually win the Cup. They need a lot of players to play up to previous performances and other players to excel more than the past. The more players that do this, the more likely to win.

   And water is wet.

8. So Dallas is a lock for the Finals?

9. So, a Seattle team should never make the playoffs right? And they certainly wouldn’t win a round against a team like Colorado? Right? Tf even is this

10. Dallas has a lot of stars.

11. Team that has players that play above average required to win championship.

    More at 11, now Bob with the weather.

12. Maple Leafs fans now understand why they never made it passed the first round.

13. Lol and of course “star” is an objective term. What a joke.
