The Stars are now 4-4-2, and we are celebrating. That is not where we expected to be come November 3rd, but joy in victory doesn’t always need a context. And besides, tonight’s context was much more about last spring than this fall.
You can affix your Wakeup Narrative to this game if you want. Certainly it’s there for the taking, the idea that the Stars needed to be reminded from whence they came. Yes, this team is very different from the one that lost Game 7 so many moons ago, but the biggest names on the team are the ones who are still here.
