The Stanley Cup Playoffs are right around the corner, and we here at Blackout Dallas took a look at the Dallas Stars’ road and what the club could accomplish.

In just two days, the Dallas Stars will be gearing up to start their first round of playoffs. Just step back for a moment and think about that.

In one measly year, the Stars went from bottom feeders in the Central Division to top of the line in the Western Conference. What a difference a year makes.

The Dallas Stars clinched the Central Division and Western Conference titles on Saturday night in a 3-2 victory against the Nashville Predators, giving them the first seed overall going into the postseason. They will welcome the Minnesota Wild to Dallas on Thursday night to kick off the series. Minnesota barely snuck into the playoffs as the second wild card, but are still dangerous nonetheless.

So how will the Dallas Stars fare this postseason? Will they make it out of the first round for the first time since 2008? What is the Stars’ kryptonite? Do they have enough firepower to qualify for the Stanley Cup Finals and potentially win it all?

There are plenty of questions to take a heavy and in-depth look at. So we here at Blackout Dallas thought it would be a good idea to help out and give our own answers and opinions. Here they are, and make sure to tell us what you think in the comments below.
