Go Stars!
Yes I want the #1 seed. There's no such thing as the "curse". They won their only Stanley Cup when they won the President's Trophy back in 1999.
🧱🧱 👈 Otter. Man was a brick wall
Miro had an absolutely insane blocked shot in the third
Give me the presidents trophy over facing minny first round any day
Yeah I like to have the 1 seed. That would give us a less difficult road to lord Stanley. We’ve had enough hard roads the last 3 years
Yes, let's go for the 1 seed. Presidents trophy is NECESSARY for a Stars Cup run according to history
Tyler Myers was really good last night. Game was tense, but we got the W. Battle of the goalies last night, both played excellent.
Wouldn’t mind winning the Presidents Trophy. Don’t have to worry about playing the Wild and Avs back to back, let them beat each other up in the first round. Get home ice either way in the second round and the Stars have won the Cup before, after winning the Presidents Trophy. Let’s go Stars!
Good Commentary on Myers…. What About Bunting? IS he going to contribute? Seems like Myers has had more shots than Bunting so far
I don’t care about the Presidents Trophy curse. Odds are still better that the 1 seed advances deeper in the playoffs. I’d much prefer to play SJ or LA in the first round than Minnesota or Colorado 🤷🏾♂️
Let’s get that trophy maybe it ignites something we haven’t had last 3 postseasons
Yay! Otter put on a SHOW. And I was reminded how I love and hate playoff hockey (that's what this felt like to me) because of the stress! Also, just heard Houston (Richmond, specifically) is getting an NAHL team and the article mentioned they'll play the IceRays!
Should Dallas win the President's trophy? Yes!
Dallas won the Cup the year they won the President's trophy. How do we know not winning the PT is why Dallas had bad playoff luck?
Myers played his ass off along with Otter Ritzy and Maverick
Three WCF failures without winning the Presidents Trophy…. yeah Ill take my chances winning it and the #1 seed
