Oh no, I can’t believe Morrissey got injured on the play where he was pulling a dirty trip into the boards on a stars player. How horrible for him.

Robert, this piece is so, so special. This transcends sports writing. I lost my dad at 25 and what you have to say about grief here is beautiful and true. Thank you for loving the Stars and sharing your gift with us.

I think the Jets would have preferred a penalty shot for Steel on rough surface instead of having to kill a penalty on a fresh sheet in OT.

I wonder if the refs took this into account in making their decision, and went with what they maybe felt was most advantageous to the Stars

"Joy and sorrow coexisted Saturday night. But when you understand the nature of being human, even those opposites are not cut off from each other completely. There is love, always."

Amen, Tiffin.

I'm really happy the Stars won the game and closed out the series. The AAC crowd was incredible. What an amazing experience.
