I'm going to game 6 in Vegas on Friday night. Stars are rolling four lines right now that are all going well. both of their power play units are equally strong and each one scored last night. I would say their one guy that they can't afford to lose is Miro Heiskenan, their defensemen. He's their best player. it's crazy that dallas may have to go through Vegas, Avs, and oilers if they are going to make it.
GK fans swear by it being the best show in the NHL. I'm sure it will be fun, especially if the stars close them out.I hear those Vegas playoff games are a sight to behold. I'll bet it's a great time.
Maybe you'll get lucky and the Knights will wear those shiny gold helmets. In those helmets, they always look to me like a group of backup dancers from C-3PO: The Musical.
it will be sweet revenge for dallas to get this game in their building. it's unfortunate that they had to go through Vegas as opposed to the Kings. but maybe this is the test that they need to finally break through.
I wish Dallas would have drawn one of those. Anyone but Vegas.
I felt bad for the leafs watching that goal go in. I was hoping they would pull that one out.
I enjoyed that game 7 so much. stars got some puck luck. But they deserved to win. They will have to be more clinical to beat the avs.
Indeed. Rangers up 2-0 on the canes. I wouldn’t count the canes out just yet. Dallas roared out to 3-0 lead on the Avs and just like that it’s 3-2 going into the third.
so far it has been great for the neutral viewer. I would imagine the avs fans hate seeing their team fall behind by multiple goals. stars fans hate watching the avalanche live up to their namesake when their offensive game starts rolling downhill. so far the difference in this series IMO is that the avs have taken a lot of terrible penalties. they had 4 combo penalties in the last game for too many men and delay of game. you can't do that. they also really targeted Jamie Benn which is taking them out of their game IMO. It's crazy to me how a lot of fans thought Benn's clean hit on Towes, who had his head down, was dirty and should have been a penalty, yet a blatant cross check to the back after a goalie smothers the puck is widely accepted as normal behavior and not a penalty.

what did he do? he had the same type of a melt down last year in the playoffs. I remember when dallas drafted him back in the day Jaromir Jagr was on the stars then and said that Val would be the best player in the league one day. he is so vital for Colorado. you could tell they were shell shocked today and got whipped by dallas.Nichushkin of Avalanche placed in Stage 3 of Player Assistance Program | NHL.com
Forward will be suspended without pay for minimum of 6 months
yes it has. the canes are no slouch. they can come back in this and force a game 7. odds are still way against them though.
I’ve heard it’s drugs. He had the incident last year where an ambulance had to be called for a visitor that was trying to leave his hotel room. Val was arguably their top player aside from McKinnon. They looked like they were content to ride McKinnon into the ground last night. He does not have the depth around him now like he did 2 years ago.
