Brett Hull scored possibly the most controversial goal in NHL history to make the Dallas Stars the 1999 Stanley Cup Champions. One problem, after Hull got that goal the hockey gods have been frowning down
on the Stars ever since, as shown in our playoff performances.
Since the 2000-01 season, 2 years after Dallas won the cup, the Stars have had an incredible regular season record of 274-143-49-26, good for a winning percentage of .657! Not bad, eh! But that is where the good stuff ends as from 00/01 they have made the 2nd round only twice and all the other years they got booted out of the playoffs in the first round. Something’s fishy about that.
Now I am not a superstitious guy or anything but looking at these stats it seems as though the reason for failure is all because of Brett Hull’s foot! Maybe not now, maybe not in the next two years but a few more years down the road every time the Stars lose the reason will be blamed on the Foot Curse. If the Stars go long enough without winning another championship, it could possibly become more popular then the curse Babe Ruth left behind in Boston, which made the Red Sox not win a championship in over 80 Years!
For every Stars fan out there let’s hope that the curse Hull left behind won’t be that bad, if there is even a curse.
