Roope Hintz and the Dallas Stars have a few days off before they take on the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western Conference Finals. Today Dane takes some time to evaluate the team as they are at the halfway point of their postseason journey. Roope Hintz has been terrific through the first two series. Should he be amongst the favorites to win the Conn Smythe trophy? We also discuss Jake Oettinger’s performance and what he needs to do to prepare for Vegas. To close we make a case as to who is the most underrated player on the Stars roster right now.

I would start wedgewood actually. Ottinger has been way to up and down
I wouldn't have Aho above Hintz, but I'm not exactly unbiased.
A few more points and he has to be simply because he'll be the points leader and he's way ahead of everyone else left. 3 of the top 4 were Oilers and they're all gone. If he just has a good series and gets 4-5 points he's a lock.
BING BONG!!!
I vote Miro, Miro is the deciding factor on the team
I’d start Otter he has had some lock down performances in the first two series against Minnesota and Seattle. He should be in top form with three days of rest, he’s been their guy the whole regular season. In the bad games that Otter has had up to this point the play in front of him has broken down defensively. If the stars keep playing tight detail oriented defense to help Otter out I think they can win the series against VGK. Defense wins championships they’ve shown they can score goals with Joe Pavelski and Roopi Hintz. The Golden Knights are gonna bring it offensively they did against the Oilers. Otter has to be ready to go he’s played a lot of games.
If Pavelski has two more series like this one after being out for the first he'll win it. If he goes back to just being 'great' and Roope keeps up the legendary pace then it's his.
