So does this mean Dallas is wearing those as home jerseys next year?
Dallas shouldn’t even exist as a team, Norm G is a POS. Stolen from the state that produces more NHLplayers than any state in the USA. Fare weather fans from South America (Dallas no ice there). Our grn, our past, our North Star. GFYSLVS !!!!!!!
Dallas Stars 🤝 losing game 1
all a part of the plan
That Zuccy-Kiril-Ek goal was so sweet!
Oh, man – that takeaway at center ice by Hughes with the spinning pass to Faber! What a play! Hughes is like a built-in man advantage even at full strength!
Jamie benn is about the most useless players on ice. Retire, youre taking a spot someone could actually use and score.
For all those that were saying the Stars were gonna sweep the Wild…..
What are ya saying now?
I knew it wasn't gonna be a sweep.
As a Wild fan…I did not expect that! Just proves that we have so many weapons on our team.
As a Stars fan, I’m very disappointed. As a realist who loves hockey, I kinda knew this would happen. For a while, I knew the Stars could and would beat the Wild. This year, it just seemed different. They are faster, healthy and just look better. The Stars aren’t even in the top 10 for speed. I know it’s game 1 but in all my brackets, I have the Wild winning in 6. I really believe this is their year. Watching them was just scary. It’s always exciting when these two teams play but it’s their time. After this, I do have Colorado beating them in 6.
This is, by far, the best series in the playoffs this year. Mark my words! Go Wild!!
Welcome to The Wall of St Paul!
Wild beat the brakes off Dallas, would be nice to go up 2-0!
Dallas fans seem pretty relaxed since they always lose Game 1 but this year is different because their goal tending is so inconsistent. Oettinger is just not on his game this season and Casey Desmith has like no playoff experience. That could easily be the reason their Western Conference Final streak ends.
Dallas wears these jerseys just to piss off Minnesota
Go Habs Go ❤
Let's go!! Wild take game 1, but we still have more to do before we can move on!
Let's go, Wild!
Come on, where are all the haters? Dallas is going on holiday, poor team.
look at seats empty
hate to see either of these teams lose 😢… Big respect for their organizations and both teams deserve more 🏆
2 of the best goalies in the league, both from the same country, rooting for each other? Let's go wild!
Stars exposed at home 😂😂😂
Start showing the fights and penalties you pu$$ies.
🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍💪💪💪💥💥💥
Who is Volsteads?😮
Not many rights in these texts!
Wally needed to start this game.
Damn, the Stars best players. There are having a long shift.
The Wall of St. Paul!!!
Those first 3 goals were nasty
Its about time the USA's state of hockey NHL team were actually good, well done
how fast was that kaprizov goal?
MN team vs MN team.
I remember when Jon casey was out goalie for the Minnesota North stars
I do not understand pulling the goalie when you're down by 4 goals, it makes no sense!
Those Stars jerseys are terrific btw!
Totally different game if they don’t have Wallstedt. He made some big tough saves early on, what a goalie
As an Avs fan watching the Stars suffer pleases me
2:48 gotta be in a funny montage moment soon
The first period was close
The second was not 😂
Story of the game
Mn looks tough my goodness
Wyat and Roberston are going to look so good in Toronto when they trade them for Austin
