NASHVILLE -- The chaos is very real for the Stars.
Coach Ken Hitchcock has preached since training camp that the NHL is faster and more frenetic, and he said his team has to learn to remain calm while the action is so chaotic.
The Stars didn't do that Thursday and took a 4-1 loss to Nashville, falling to 1-3-0.
"I thought the first period we played was as good a period as we played all year, and then they had a seven-minute stretch where they went to another level, and we didn't have an answer," Hitchcock said.
