Dallas Stars SuperBracket: An Introduction
By Tom Dorsa
The NCAA begins March Madness this week, a month-long annual tournament for both men and women in which 68 schools compete to cut down the nets at the Final Four’s end. What if we did something similar with the Dalllas Stars?
It’s March, Dallas Stars fans, and that means basketball tournament season for the men and women of the National Collegiate Athletic Association is upon us.
Every year, after a long and windy season of basketball action, the NCAA selects 68 lucky schools to compete in the “Big Dance” for the title of the nation’s basketball champions. At Blackout Dallas, we have our own way of doing things.
68 different Stars items – we’re talking players, jerseys, general managers, coaches, memorable moments, and even best seasons – fill out the first inaugural Blackout Dallas Stars SuperBracket (patent pending).

The winning defenseman will face off against the winning coach, the top forward will meet the top jersey, the preeminent goalie will take on the best season in Stars history, and the best goalie will square off against the top moment in team history.
The bracket is listed as follows…
