Game 8 Afterwords: Stars Lose Because of Apples and Turnovers

The Stars set up a lot of players tonight, but unfortunately most of the ones who scored were on the wrong team.

Sic transit gloria stellarum.

If you aren't familiar with the term, "apple" is hockey-jock parlance for an assist. The Stars had, officially, four assists tonight. Unofficially, they had just about all the assists, as turnovers succeeded in torpedoing any chance they might have had to pull out a win in what was supposed to have been a glorious homecoming.

Returning to the AAC after a five-game winning streak and a perfect road trip, the Stars had to feel great.
