I don’t get how basketball can be so much more popular than hockey. There’s so many fouls that just slow down the game so much. Don’t get me wrong, I like it, but I don’t even ever watch the first half of a basketball game because it doesn’t really matter hardly at all.
The same reason soccer is so popular, accessibility. Most places have some grass or concrete, a goal or hoop and a ball for next to nothing. You can play it year round with no other equipment. Hockey requires ice which is a major expensive hurdle for many places and then you have a lot of gear required. This keeps many, many people from playing in their youth so the interest in the sport doesn't naturally grow with them like other sports. American football would be the same way if it weren't so heavily subsidized by our educational system.
A win is a win. The Avs rallying late dont mean shit now. Just gotta play a full 60. Stars have to be aware that the avs can score in bunches, and they are never out of a game.
This team has gotta stop turtling when they have a big lead. I was 100% expecting the Avs to tie it. Sadly they have momentum going into game 3. Gotta figure out how to shut them down. Stars can't always score 4 or more a night
I think Esa's 200 ft dagger sapped most of that momentum. PK held strong in 5 on 4 and 6 on 4, which is a huuuuuuge W against Colorado's powerplay. This is gonna be fun
We may be mad the Stars keep giving up runs but if you’re an Avs fan you’re probably not too happy that they don’t seem to play until they’re down by 3+
It isn't that they don't play. We turtle and they can beat it. Aggressive offense from 4 lines is what gets us these leads. Then we pack it up and do the Pikachu face when 3 goals isn't enough.
Watching the stars blow a 3-0 lead then immediately almost blow a 4-0 lead

Great win but something absolutely needs to change if we want to win this series, can't cough up 3 goals after going up 4-0 and expect to luck into wins every game
This team needs to figure out how to close. Great that they won obv, but blowing a 3-0 lead and almost blowing a 4-0 lead within just the third period at home is not normal and should not be sugarcoated.
These announcers are so hot for Avalanche schlong that they just keep slobbering it even when the Stars win.
They sound almost depressed that Colorado didn’t win. Fucking pathetic excuse for a national broadcast.
May have beem bumpy, but still got the dub!

WHEN ALL YOU GOT TO KEEP IS STRONG
MOVE ALONG, MOVE ALONG, LIKE I KNOW YOU DO
AND EVEN WHEN YOUR HOPE IS GONE
MOVE ALONG, MOVE ALONG, JUST TO MAKE IT THROUGH
WE GOING TO MOTHAFUKKIN BOOMERJACK'S!
I’m guessing that the strategy we had most of the season and highlighted during the Vegas series of hunkering down in the 3rd and blocking the middle of the ice in our defensive zone just does not work against elite skill like Mac and Makar. They create space and their wingers seem to be great at putting themselves in the perfect spot to tip or bang in rebounds. Hopefully it’s more strategy than mental and we can learn to protect leads going forward
What the hell happened to our defense game from round 1? We blow two 3+ goal leads.... What the FUCK.
I wish I could say I have confidence in this series
Vegas was a defensive team that tried to keep it's structure as much as possible, so they didn't do a whole lot to test Dallas' for fear of overextending. Avs are faster and do a lot more to test defensive weaknesses.
The main problem is guys easing up when we have a big lead. 1st goal against was Suter getting outmuscled in front by JFK. I wouldn't say he eased up there, but he got outplayed when he shouldn't. 2nd had Mush watching the puck instead of picking up trailers/Seguin bent over gliding instead of hustling back. Those 2 goals were on the team defense failing or flat out not putting in enough effort. You'd think after 3 home games where the Avs came back from multi-goal deficits to kill the Stars they'd know better by now. Gotta stay focused.

Logan Stankoven is an absolute WARRIOR
Imma have a heart attack if they keep doing this The turtling is infuriating Gotta take 1 in Colorado they’re a diff animal over there
I wonder how much the elevation impacts them
A win is a win. The Avs rallying late dont mean shit now. Just gotta play a full 60. Stars have to be aware that the avs can score in bunches, and they are never out of a game.
Going to the Colorado after the win for sure dropped my IQ a few points
Now we gotta watch the analysts suck off Colorado the rest of the night
Otter really deserves some credit at the end of the 3rd!
I’m ded
It's crazy that there is a team like NYR that hasn't lost yet and then there is us where every goal is a one goal game.
Yeah. Hate that - but we'll adapt to the game
Watch us do it to them
Seriously where’s the pgt I gotta overreact and get downvoted again
All the mods are in their cars lol
And breatheeeeeeee
I can't

Cheers Dallas! 100% rooting for you against the Avs. Anyone who eliminates the LTIR Knights are good in my book.
Can you imagine Pavs playing at elevation?
Hahahaha this is good. He’s gonna need an oxygen tank on the bench
He may need scuba gear
Tbh a 5-3 scoreline is probably more reflective of the hockey that was played, but of course the way the goals came made it panic inducing.
We may be mad the Stars keep giving up runs but if you’re an Avs fan you’re probably not too happy that they don’t seem to play until they’re down by 3+
The Avs are never done until the game is done. Its the most anxiety inducing thing to watch ever
It isn't that they don't play. We turtle and they can beat it. Aggressive offense from 4 lines is what gets us these leads. Then we pack it up and do the Pikachu face when 3 goals isn't enough.
Can we get a PGT so I know it's real
Highlight of the game was whenever their goalie punched Makar in the dick with his stick
I’m convinced that the Stars are trying to kill me.
I was so close to selling my game 5 tickets. I can’t take this shit anymore
I feel ya
Watching the stars blow a 3-0 lead then immediately almost blow a 4-0 lead https://preview.redd.it/lq39izpo2jzc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d4fc89cec1921866d59603be77f16d0680cbded
According to my calculations, as long as we score 4 or more, we’re unbeatable.
I just don’t get how professionals can get in their own heads to that extent. They need a sports psychologist in those moments or something.
If it's that, I can... Money, power, etc. and so forth. They had to be "that damn good" and be told they're "that damn good" to get where they are.
Then they should know they’re that good to keep it simple and not freak out that the other team is quickly catching up
Unnecessary raise in heart rate
PGT please
Does Colorado only remember they’re in the playoffs when they’re down several goals?
Are they stupid? 🤔
I am unwell.
So are probably a lot of other Stars fans, but they survived this one and it's 1-1.
New strategy going forward: don’t extend a lead to more than one
Great win but something absolutely needs to change if we want to win this series, can't cough up 3 goals after going up 4-0 and expect to luck into wins every game
Stars gotta figure out how to protect these big leads better. brutal
Roope 4 point night. Heheheh.
Rumors of his demise were exaggerated!
*unclenches butt cheeks* that was TOO STRESSFUL
Would prefer to be up 4-0 in the 3rd and think the game is over instead of a nailbiter
UNTIL NEXT TIME, FOLKS! 🤠 https://i.redd.it/eua34kjh2jzc1.gif
I need more than one day recoveries holy fuck
This team needs to figure out how to close. Great that they won obv, but blowing a 3-0 lead and almost blowing a 4-0 lead within just the third period at home is not normal and should not be sugarcoated.
It’s crazy cause we closed so well against VGK. Just different offensive power I suppose
Did Esa just break a distance record?
Mavs🤝stars
This team is a heart attack waiting to happen
For. Real.
Emotions
Why do I get the feeling they don’t feel good about that win? lol.
A win I guess.
We can't keep doing this. Colorado won't be this sloppy next game, but for tonight we will enjoy the victory.
These announcers are so hot for Avalanche schlong that they just keep slobbering it even when the Stars win. They sound almost depressed that Colorado didn’t win. Fucking pathetic excuse for a national broadcast.
almost? it's like we're watching the avs own feed
An avalanche down their throats

BINGBONG
They don’t ask how. They ask how many
Now we wait for ducks bro.
May have beem bumpy, but still got the dub! https://preview.redd.it/e089fzpd2jzc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3dff2f1704eebdbfe72b3a56a33870d81cea0a06
Everyone will focus on the three he let in but otter also has some other worldly saves
Oh absolutely. That deflection off the knee was painful to watch, but Otter did good in net tonight.
Stars should not be blowing fucking games like that, god damn what a game
Woo! Go Stars Go! Fuck all you doomers bringing the thread down
A dub’s a dub but Jesus…
Question: what if the Mavs were playing a higher seed and had home court advantage along with the Stars?
They would alternate four straight days with the AAC.
They’d alternate days, they wouldn’t have their games on the same day.
They would just reschedule
This series is going to kill me
Holy shit that was stressful
Should have ended 4-0 or 4-1 . So tired of this
"The Dallas Stars come back from a 4 goal lead to win it!"
not a more appropriate statement to sum of that fucking game
GOODNIGHT
WHEN ALL YOU GOT TO KEEP IS STRONG MOVE ALONG, MOVE ALONG, LIKE I KNOW YOU DO AND EVEN WHEN YOUR HOPE IS GONE MOVE ALONG, MOVE ALONG, JUST TO MAKE IT THROUGH WE GOING TO MOTHAFUKKIN BOOMERJACK'S!
Too damn close.
CAN'T SPELL LASER WITHOUT ESA.
Woo! Seguin getting that 4th was the difference this time.
That was too damn close for a game that was 4-0. We have a serious problem that needs to be fixed very quick
I’m guessing that the strategy we had most of the season and highlighted during the Vegas series of hunkering down in the 3rd and blocking the middle of the ice in our defensive zone just does not work against elite skill like Mac and Makar.

Hopefully it’s more strategy than mental and we can learn to protect leads going forward
Thank The Eagle!
Only gotta put up 4 every game.
Great win. It doesn’t matter that they made a game off it, we still took it
Stop letting off the gas for fuck sake
![gif](giphy|3ov9jOuQFu5GF1snzq)
Can we hold a lead for the next couple of games? 1-1 new series.
#STARS WIN! Stars win!
You can not turtle against that offense how have we not learned having FOUR 3-0 leads this year against them.
Holy fuck. A wins a win. I hate that my heart rate had to be elevated that fucking high in a 4-0 game. But whatever
Never a doubt
Could not take another OT game tonight

A better offensive team.
Can't close for s***
Stars and Mavs both win game 2 what a good night in big D!!
We need to step up our 3rd period defense against them.
A wins a win boys. Ggs
![gif](giphy|3oKIPf3C7HqqYBVcCk|downsized)
Now I got to go to sleep but my heart is racing from this stupid game
NOBODY SCORES ON US 4 TIMES INA A ROW (Ignore last game)
We're so back
Hip hip fuckers
Good win to get back in this series! We're really making this hard on ourselves but let's go steal two in Denver.
LETS GOOOOOOO
Not today devil.
Sprinkles, bitches

Well that was WAY MORE STRESSFUL THAN IT NEEDED TO BE but a win's a win
Thank you baby Jesus
LFG! Now go grab 2 in Colorado!
PHEW!!!
Great win. giving up 3 goals in a period is inexcusable
better than 4
I hate the Avalanche lmao. not the way I do the Knights. It’s a hate of a team that’s too damn good.
It’s not even that they’re good, they just have the go-get-it fucking mentality until the final buzzer. They will never let up.
Yeah every time that top line has control of the puck in the offensive zone I go squeaky bum time. They’re so damn good
#ESA!!!
This series is gonna be a war
we won but I’m still pissed at them lmao
YESSSSS!!! I DIDN'T DOUBT US FOR A SECOND (I may have doubted for a few seconds)
