Jobs could shape a product presentation into a story that kept audiences anxiously awaiting the next chapter. He would meticulously craft the unveiling, the same way Apple carefully crafts its products.

Apple carries that on today. The company doesn't need to haveits hand in every cookie jar, instead, it focuses on being the best in the areas it decides to touch, and it hires some of the best talent to help make its vision a reality.

Robertson injured in Stars' regular-season finale

ESPN News Services

Apr 16, 2025, 10:36 PM ET

Dallas forward Jason Robertson sustained a lower-body injury during the Stars’ regular-season finale at Nashville on Wednesday and left the game.

Robertson, the Stars’ second-leading points producer with 80 (35 goals, 45 assists) this season, left the game early in the second period after being hit into the boards by Nashville’s Michael McCarron. The team announced that Robertson would not return.

Dallas, which went on to lose 5-1, is locked into second place in the Central Division and will host the Colorado Avalanche in the first round of the playoffs. However, the Stars are mired in a season-worst 0-5-2 slide.

Robertson, the Stars’ second-round draft pick in 2017, is in his sixth season with Dallas, having recorded 79 or more points in each of the past four campaigns.
