October 10th, 2015: Fresh off a shutout of the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Dallas Stars went to Colorado and took a two-goal lead. Then they gave up five goals in a row and lost.
Tonight was different, but it wasn’t really that different. The Stars’ had a 2-0 lead, then they gave up five goals in a row and lost. The score changed, but it produced the same things: deflated pride, a .500 record, and a humbling reminder that the Avs still have that vial of melted ice from Reunion Arena lying around somewhere underneath Pepsi Center, continually being used to brew a special anti-Dallas serum administered into the water taps of the visiting locker room the day before the Stars come to town.
