noun ASTRONOMY
1. a star that suddenly increases greatly in brightness because of a catastrophic explosion that ejects most of its mass.
Such a definition is a rather accurate portrayal of the Dallas Stars’ 5-3 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. After a decent first period, the Stars blew up in the second period, scoring three unanswered goals (and almost a fourth). They were dominate, with Vegas at their complete mercy, and all they seemingly had to do was keep up the pressure throughout the third period.
