The stars put up a great effort but the avs were kind of testing them out it seemed. Even up 3-0 you can tell the avs were very calm and you could not even tell they were down. Once they got their legs going in the 2nd they didnt stop. The pk killed the stars ultimately, and as expected the avs are just so relentless. A lucky break (literally broken stick leading to 5 on 3) and poor special team play led to this loss and considering the stars are the least penalized team in the league that could come into our favor if we keep makar rantanen and mackinnon off the pp.
There are things to like about the stars playing, for examples the faceoffs are going to be huge if the stars can use it to their advantage. They still got a ton of work to do but I still have confidence this series is far from over.
btw when is the last time the stars game 1 of their series? it feels like it has been ages. Went into this game fully expecting an ot loss, im just used to it at this point
Hintz missing the net was big…but Nichuskin also passed on 1 on 0 partial breakaway around the same point.Dallas was dominant in OT,& Giorgiev & the hockey gods saved our ass.But you guys were lucky to get to OT on balance. 3rd time this year in 3 games in Dallas…you take 3 goal lead-Avs come back & win…twice in OT.BTW-Avs were the #1 best comeback & multi goal comeback team this season. And highest scoring regular season team,& playoffs so far. But I dont expect to keep hanging 4,5,or 6 goals every game this series.
Its o ly 1 game,& I expect this to be a long 6 or 7 game series. But the Stars going 7 vs Vegas,& only playing 5 dmen is just not smart. Thats why Heskonen got lit up in 2nd half of this game-he was exhausted. And I hear ya on the penalties Dallas took in the 2nd…but you dont get your 3-0 lead without the Avs taking even more penalties in the 1st. 1 of Rantanens penalties just completely lazy,& undisciplined…& Wood makes up for his penalty. Its only a great start for us-thats it…25% of what we need. You guys only had 16 shots through regulation keep in mind.
These two are homers 🙂 Stop it dude. Avs had a bunch of chances in the 1st as well. What killed them was lack of discipline. You guys talk as if u dominated 3rd and OT but the SOG tells a different story. 6-4 avs in 3rd and 6-4 dallas in OT. Are u forgetting Mikko Makar and Mac hitting posts and crossbars???? What game were u wayching??? Smh. You should be happy u didnt get beat 6-3 or something.

I appreciate this podcast! As a stars fan, it’s frustrating to see running 5D men is going to haunt them if they don’t do anything about it
Miles wood 28 OT goal
4th liner
Not MacKinnon

Going to be a hell of a series, either team could take the CUP. I wouldn’t have it any other way! #GOAVSGO
Stars gave the game away?? Delusional
