This isn't going to be 10,000 words on the topic, but I wanted to get it on the record and out of my head before the announcement of who is actually selected comes through.
The Stars have had a surge of play recently, despite their last two game this week against Coachella Valley. Since their sweep of Milwaukee in December, Texas really turned things around. They started the season up to that point 8-13-3-1 and barely ambulatory in the race for a playoff spot.
Since and including the sweep, they're 7-5, including the two rough games this week against CV.
