Can the Stars still take the series?

No.

In Rounds 1 and 2, the Stars were considered the underdog, playing one notable cup contender and one piece of shit team from central California. And they overcame their underdoggetry by taking the first two games, which were away games. Then they came back and took one of their two home games.

They couldn't do that against the Red Wings. The Stars relied on those first two games to take the series (Don't believe me? Subtract those wins from the Stars and give them to the other team - who wins the series?) and now they're unable to do so against an even better team. That means that they're going to have a tougher time at away games as well as a tougher time at home.

Count the Stars out for now, and I'll have a Pens/Flyers update in a bit.
