The Dallas Stars will take on the defending Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights in round one of the Stanley Cup playoffs. On today’s episode of Locked On Stars, Joey gives his initial thoughts on the matchup against the Knights and argues that their is no better time to take on the champs than right now. We also look at some of the storylines such as Pete DeBoer facing his former club again, Mark Stone vs Jamie Benn, Chris Tanev and Noah Hanifin as two of the trade deadline pick ups for their respective sides and more! It may feel unfair that the Stars reward for winning the Western Conference is to face a Vegas team that used the cap to their advantage, but life is unfair and so is the playoffs sometimes. We then transition into Joey’s top 10 best players in the series. It’s headlined by defensemen Miro Heiskanen, Joey explains the decision process behind his rankings and some honorable mentions that could have a huge impact. To finish off the episode, Joey goes around the entire NHL playoffs and gives his thoughts on each of the first round matchups and who he believes will win each series. He has a hunch that Carolina will represent the Eastern Conference in the Stanley Cup final.

Stars are going all the way this year.
Stars in seven
Dallas in 7
At the end of the day they were gonna face them either way best to find out now then a month from now
A chance for Revenge
Man if we beat the knights and then the bolts for the cup
Jamie Benn better not screw up this time
Round 2 avs vs stars would be a great match up the Avs vs stars rivalry is my favorite NHL rivalry in the league
I think you gotta have Pavs in the top ten, he just always shows up in the playoffs. Good episode though!
Round 1 will also be shown on Bally. That way we can get Josh and Razor and the hometown broadcast on the call.
I'm not making any predictions, because those only get you in trouble. This series could go 6-7 or could be completely different and go 4-5. Not saying we will see a sweep, but anything is possible.
I'm not that worried : Roope, Miro, Robo, Pavs and Seguin will elevate their games. Wyatt, Logan, Harley, and Marchment will have their moments as well. Everyone will have to contribute for this squad to achieve hoisting the Cup.
I expect nothing short of great defensive performances and Otter to play out of his mind and be the awesome keeper we know he is and showed in that last performance against the Blues.
This is going to be a gauntlet and if the Stars can make it out the West, then I feel they will be victorious in the SCF!
Victory Green and Go Stars 💫
More like the knights choose dallas over edmonton. L.A also wanted to play the stars. Obviously l.a and vegas thinks the stars are lesser opponent.
Go Stars!⭐️ Dallas in 6.
