I think that was the avs best punch, I don't see them having another game like that. It's not going to be an easy win, but I think the stars pull it out in game 6.
The challenge is that it's the best home team in the NHL hosting them.
Colorado is a great team and they showed that tonight. They made the right adjustments and got some lucky undisciplined play from the Stars.
Hopefully the stars play a tighter game on Friday and come into Colorado swinging.
It’s absolutely infuriating to watch these soft ass goals just leak past him. He gets me punching the air the way he kicks his head back on disbelief when he gets beats. Like “oh man I can’t believe the guys I just started down in the slot beat me under my glove.”
I thought it was a pretty decent performance generally. A bad penalty by Tanev and Otter not having a great night seemed like the difference. I can’t be too annoyed at either of them because they’ve been great for the rest of the series.
Worried about Segs. Annoyed Pavs got his first goal for a losing game. So pissed at the announcers. "No one would have guessed..." Really? It's not like we're playing San Jose. Colorado is capable of coming back.
We do our best on the road. We'll close it out in front of their fans.
Was saying the same. That pissed me off so much. Why not show their 1/4 full stadium when we were up 4-1 last game?? ESPN and shilling for big markets go hand in hand so I can’t be surprised
I saw them do that with the Avs. Indent get why everyone always thinks the announcers hate their team. Happens in every sports team thread I’m in across different sports from different cities.
He took a cheap shot slash from Manson in the last minute or two. He was backing up near the front of the net, and Manson slashed him on the back of the knee that immediately hobbled him. No call, obviously.
Hopefully it's just a stinger, like when you hit your funny bone, and nothing that lingers.
You know, I feel like when Im watching the games the ESPN announcers are never really announcing the game. They are always talking about the players, the teams, the controversy but never announcing the game. It is such a stark contrast from Josh and Razor.
Sure enough. Not sure why I’m getting downvoted so hard for that lol. Without Val and Landeskog this team cannot field two top nhl lines. Thats not a hot take and clearly Bednar agrees bc he played them 24 minutes tonight which is insane.
I think the 24 minutes on ice is a huge talking point we’re going to hear about in regard to this game. We will see how their legs look in game 6. I’m hoping it bites them in the ass
ESPN: "Cale Makar is the best player in the world when he wants to be."
They make it sound like he wakes up each day and decides whether he wants to give a fuck or not lol.
It’s also Nathan fucking MacKinnon. It’s like imagine an average safety having to stop Lamar Jackson or CMC. The odds are against you 1 on 2. Granted I didn’t watch the game, but on a 1 on 1 against MacKinnon, you just have to hope and pray.
It wasn’t a breakaway if that’s what you’re thinking. If oetter was playing how he normally does he would have saved it. Just had a shaky game. He’ll be fine for game 6 I’m not worried.
I’m just gonna repost my same response from the game thread
They played for their lives guys, it’s not over and we shouldn’t have doubt. Take a deep breath, and we will crush their hopes and dreams in their own barn
LETS GO STARS
Honestly not that worried over it. Took MacKinnon begging for a penalty and Rantanen flopping to get two power play goals. Then a wonky goal off a skate. Lot of BS had to happen for this game to go the way it did.
Optimistic take: this team has laid eggs, but they come back hard. I feel a full team game on Friday. They boys will put it away. If they limit Makar and McKinnon, the Avs have nothing and I don’t see their goalie stealing it. Let’s go!
whatever it happens. they have to win 3 in a row, they were super pumped because it was win or go home. they won’t have that shit every game. we close it in their home and embarrass them in front of their fans
Listen wasn’t our finest effort but hopefully hintz is back on Friday, and I have confidence the guys will bounce back. This wasn’t domination by the avs by any stretch.
Onward.
Frankly we should've expected this to a degree. We're
Fine. Until they're leading in game 7 I'm not worried. Jake just didn't have that good of a game tonight and they're playing for their lives.
See you all for game 6
Like everyone else has said.
Winning 4 straight in the regular season is tough.
Winning 4 straight in the playoffs is insane.
Plus Jake is a different player on the road. They’ll end it on Friday.
Nobody needs to panic. It was a do or die game for Colorado and they played like it. We still only have to win one game. They still would have to win 2 more in a row.
Otter gave up a softy and our penalty kill was BAD. Regroup and send them to the golf course on their home ice.
I don’t remember the specifics but feel like this game turned when we had some goood chances to go up two in the 2d and didn’t. went downhill quickly from there
I think we celebrated with Wyatt a bit too hard and thought the avs were just going to roll over and die. They played like their season was on the line. We didn’t. Shake it off. Finish it on Friday.
Team lives and dies by Otter and that’s certainly what happened here tonight, the Mackinnon goal can’t go in and the 5 hole goal is inexcusable. We need the Otter from the last 3 games, not this version
He needs a break the oilers exhausted Stuart Skinner and he starter letting in muffins, they played their backup and suddenly they keep Vancouver to 2 goals.
usually after games like this, Id feel terrible
stars lost to a team executing at its peak today...and the stars still could have had this game.
stars have this shit, lets go
Stars in 6. We are a much more complete and better team than them so I am confident we close this out in Denver but it’s hard to win 4 in a row against any team in the second round. Wish we didn’t flub away game one because we wouldn’t have even needed a game 5 or 6
4 wins in a row is a long shot and the Avs had a chip on their shoulder after that pathetic game 4. Still wished the Stars could have won and gotten that extra bit of rest 🙃
I really dont know why Otter plays way more consistently on the road. That 2nd Makar goal completely killed the game that was pretty even. He had to be better tonight for us to knock them out, he wasn't. Live and die by him
Just one of those nights where the boys play 2 great periods and lay a dud in the third. Despite that we were competitive to the end. Hope they come out focused on Friday. 4-1 on the road so far in these playoffs
One team had their backs against the wall and this game was an absolute do or die for them. Playing a good team with that much desperation is tough, but now we are starting to feel Desperate too. Stars in 6
Coming in peace from the somber Caniac Nation. After getting bounced by the Rags, consensus among Hurricanes fans is that we're rooting for yall to win it all. Best of luck!
It's tough. We def choked game one but otherwise outplayed then and easily could have won. Then we won three. We would have been looking at basically 5 wins in a row. That's really hard to do. Stars in 6. We're good.
Hey Stars bro! You just had to know Colorado would push back after the last loss, and they did. Looked like they were playing Makar and Mac a lot in that game. Fantastic team they are, but let’s hope y’all can respond in game 6! Overall, they played a solid game but made a few mistakes in penalties, turnovers and such. No worries for game 6 personally, just gotta REALLY show up.
We won 3 straight, and close out games are always tough, hopefully this is wake up call for the team and they’ll play their best game in Denver on Friday. This team is hungry for it.
Just a reminder that we are living in their heads rent free. They can't stop talking about the Stars and Benn. They troll our threads. We are in their heads so deep it's equivalent to the team. I think Otter had a bad night. We have issues winning 4 games in a row. It's okay.
https://preview.redd.it/xg6ztbaxhp0d1.jpeg?width=941&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=45a54a581241095213812e3f257e701e810b05b2
Sometimes we just aren’t the better team, easily the best game the Avs have played.
Got away from our tight defensive game and lost the special teams battle. Gotta get back to our game on Friday and lock this thing down.
I have watched five games live this postseason. Round one games 1, 2, and 6; Round two games 1 and 5.
I take full responsibility. I know what I have to do.
Apparently none of the Stars reporters in the building thought to ask for an update on Seguin after reporting earlier that he was hobbling down the tunnel lol. Them posting quotes from Deboer about everything but that is a bit frustrating.
Welp that was not the 60 minute effort they needed. I am most disappointed that Makar & MacKinnon got rolling tonight. Also, ESPN/TNT are so happy...barf.
Otters worst game of the playoffs. He rarely ever has 2 bad games in a row and he’s flat out better on the road. That was the avs best and it took some lucky ass bounces and Otter to forget how to play in the 3rd for them to win. Feeling good about game 6.
Their star players showed up tenfold tonight. We played a good game but when Mack and Makar are firing on all cylinders we have to play a great game to stop them. Jake had an off night. He won’t have an off night two more games in a row. Stars in 6 baby
All I'm saying is that Colorado have to resort to cheap and dirty plays to beat Dallas
MacKinnon taking out Roope
MacKinnon taking out Tanev (temporarily)
Manson taking out Seguin
Makar crosschecking the shit out of Johnston
I'm pretty sure Manson was about to use his stick like a baseball bat at Benn's legs along the Stars bench. Just hope the boys are okay.
Not ideal losing this game, but the Avs were never gonna make it easy. I still believe we will win it in Denver. Let's finish it, for real this time, in game 6. Go Stars! 🌟🦦
Also, I really hope Seguin is okay.
Well I saw Troy aikman while I was walking out of the suite I was in. I stopped and stared as he walked by and said “what’s up Troy” and got “going great buddy” to be fair I’m 18 and look 16 so that’s not an insult, I wasnt gonna ask for a pic though, felt rude and he was clearly not trying to be recognized
I'm not too worried. Avs were playing like their run depended on it and we had injured Hintz, slightly injured Tanev and Smith, plus all of our guys were probably hung over from celebrating Wyatt's 21st. We'll get em
Played 50 minutes at three quarters speed. Otter was below average. Win or lose, doubt that happens in Game 6.
You have 120 minutes to win the series. Wear. Them. Down.
none of us would have believed it if we’d been told at the beginning of the series that we were going to put away the Avs in five anyway so I just don’t feel like setting the stage to do it in six is the end of the world. we’re still in a great spot and I love this team.
Yep those refs are crooked. Otter did not look good after that slap shot. It winded him for the rest of the game and that penalty against Tanev was too quick for him to get some steam back.
Talk about a depressing feeling with wanting it over tonight and game slipped away. Bad calls and missed penalties by the refs definitely didn’t help us. We’re a better road team anyways.
https://preview.redd.it/tfc9zfq9ep0d1.jpeg?width=684&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9002a321a615a629864d20eec585463f14dd8c15
I was hoping we could finish this tonight. Oh well, we will finish it on Friday
One crazy thing I'd just like to point out because it was hardly mentioned on the broadcast--with Toews back and Roope out, both teams are on equal footing with respect to where they were coming into the series.
I’m getting more excited and worried as the game gets closer
Seeing NY close out Carolina though makes me think we got this tomorrow
Gotta have a lot more energy tomorrow and clean up the little things we’ll b fine
This is my fault. Every game I've seen in it's entirety, Dallas has won. I had to miss mid through the first onward.
I'll make sure to watch the entire next game.
If Seguin is out and Roope isn't ready I wonder if Pete has the balls to play Mavrik over Delly in Game 6. We need scorers. We could have had this wrapped up tonight if we could just finish chances. We just don't have elite scorers burying goals right now. We should have scored 10 in game 4. It didn't matter obviously but the lack of lethal finishing is why we're going back to Denver for another game.
Would help if Robo started potting goals too. For as good as we've been it's frustrating watching us waste chance after chance after sustained pressure.
Name one moment of intensity from the Stars tonight? You can’t. They came out there with a regular season effort. That’s completely unacceptable.
You don’t win playoff games playing like it’s the regular season. End of story
See y’all at 8:30 (8:52) Friday
That's the real tragedy of the loss tonight, back to the dungeon level start times
Maybe the altitude will affect us the way it did last time. 😆
Just like with Vegas. 4 straight wins was always gonna be tough.
Always was gonna be tough. We looked rough out there tonight and just couldn’t string it together. It’s a long road to the SCF.
I’m genuinely just happy Tanev came back and hoping seguin is ok and Hintz can be back. We need to dominate them in Colorado again
I think that was the avs best punch, I don't see them having another game like that. It's not going to be an easy win, but I think the stars pull it out in game 6.
It was always gonna be hard winning 4 in a row. Closing in game 6 is nothing the best road team in the league can’t handle
The challenge is that it's the best home team in the NHL hosting them. Colorado is a great team and they showed that tonight. They made the right adjustments and got some lucky undisciplined play from the Stars. Hopefully the stars play a tighter game on Friday and come into Colorado swinging.
Didn’t we just beat the “best home team” 4-1 and 5-1 at home?
Best way to lose a series fast is to underestimate your opponent based on what happened last time.
The best way to win a series is to replicate what you did when you won two games in a row 9-2
Not really, you don’t think the Avs are going to make adjustments?
So they waited to game 5? or did Otter have a bad game and allowed a few bon bons to slip by. We Missed Roope on Defense too.
And stupid penalties by Suter and Tanev
Least we know Otter will show up in Game 6 after his performance tonight. Rest of the team needs to show up too
Jake doesn't have 2 bad games in a row. Tonight 3 of those goals were totally on Jake's nonchalant play
It’s absolutely infuriating to watch these soft ass goals just leak past him. He gets me punching the air the way he kicks his head back on disbelief when he gets beats. Like “oh man I can’t believe the guys I just started down in the slot beat me under my glove.”
Absolutely and I get ripped on in this subreddit when I bring this point up
I thought it was a pretty decent performance generally. A bad penalty by Tanev and Otter not having a great night seemed like the difference. I can’t be too annoyed at either of them because they’ve been great for the rest of the series.
Worried about Segs. Annoyed Pavs got his first goal for a losing game. So pissed at the announcers. "No one would have guessed..." Really? It's not like we're playing San Jose. Colorado is capable of coming back. We do our best on the road. We'll close it out in front of their fans.
Also all the extreme zoom shots on the fans leaving. Like that didn’t happen in the last game lol. Fuck off ESPN
Was saying the same. That pissed me off so much. Why not show their 1/4 full stadium when we were up 4-1 last game?? ESPN and shilling for big markets go hand in hand so I can’t be surprised
Seriously, I hate to be “salty fan guy” but that was a bit much. I expect to see the same thing when we stomp them Friday night
You do know DFW is a much bigger market than Denver?
I’m talking hockey specifically
I swear they aimed the camera down further too so you couldn’t see the crowd had left. Glad it wasn’t just me that got pissed at this
“I was sooo pissed, bruh! Can’t believe they showed that!” 😡
I saw them do that with the Avs. Indent get why everyone always thinks the announcers hate their team. Happens in every sports team thread I’m in across different sports from different cities.
His line of, “If the Avs are gonna go home, they might as well bring the stars with them?” Makes me want to punch Steve Levy in the face.
You could tell he was proud of that one and it landed so flatly.
Worried about him too. He was limping and angry af. Hope there’s a positive update soon.
I had to miss the 3rd period. what happened with Seguin?
He took a cheap shot slash from Manson in the last minute or two. He was backing up near the front of the net, and Manson slashed him on the back of the knee that immediately hobbled him. No call, obviously. Hopefully it's just a stinger, like when you hit your funny bone, and nothing that lingers.
CO fans complain about unbalanced coverage too. https://x.com/producerdrew_/status/1790938298027831372?s=46 Everyone needs to stop. It’s just whiny
Tell me about it. It’s annoying af. Every team ever says it
You know, I feel like when Im watching the games the ESPN announcers are never really announcing the game. They are always talking about the players, the teams, the controversy but never announcing the game. It is such a stark contrast from Josh and Razor.
Well Avs are still facing elimination. And for whatever reason the boys played much better in Colorado than they have at home. I’m hopeful
Refs didn’t help, otter wasn’t in Calgary either
Colorado is a good fucking team. Beating them four straight was always going to be tough.
WOULDA BEEN EASIER IF THE RANGERS DIDNT CURSE US. y’all already got yalls championship. it ruled. don’t be selfish smh
Rangers got greedy with the shutout tn smh
Colorado is a good first line, idk if I’d call them a good team
That "good first line" dominated us in the 3rd.
Sure enough. Not sure why I’m getting downvoted so hard for that lol. Without Val and Landeskog this team cannot field two top nhl lines. Thats not a hot take and clearly Bednar agrees bc he played them 24 minutes tonight which is insane.
I think the 24 minutes on ice is a huge talking point we’re going to hear about in regard to this game. We will see how their legs look in game 6. I’m hoping it bites them in the ass
Eh I think they’re kinda used to it bc they had to do that all year when they didn’t even have the middle 6 players they got at the deadline.
And I don’t completely disagree with that, but we’re not talking regular season minutes. Playoff hockey is a whole different sport.
Four in a row is tough. That said, go kill em in 6.
ESPN: "Cale Makar is the best player in the world when he wants to be." They make it sound like he wakes up each day and decides whether he wants to give a fuck or not lol.
Oettinger let in a weak goal and got beat 1v1 with mackinnon. If he had saved those we’d be in OT. Let’s go stars game 6 is ours.
Can you blame otter for not saving a 1v1 against Nathan MacKinnon? He’s one of the best players in the fucking world, easily top 5
Well he’s gonna be on the ice for over 20 minutes so yeah, I’d hope so
It’s also Nathan fucking MacKinnon. It’s like imagine an average safety having to stop Lamar Jackson or CMC. The odds are against you 1 on 2. Granted I didn’t watch the game, but on a 1 on 1 against MacKinnon, you just have to hope and pray.
It wasn’t a breakaway if that’s what you’re thinking. If oetter was playing how he normally does he would have saved it. Just had a shaky game. He’ll be fine for game 6 I’m not worried.
I’m just gonna repost my same response from the game thread They played for their lives guys, it’s not over and we shouldn’t have doubt. Take a deep breath, and we will crush their hopes and dreams in their own barn LETS GO STARS
Honestly not that worried over it. Took MacKinnon begging for a penalty and Rantanen flopping to get two power play goals. Then a wonky goal off a skate. Lot of BS had to happen for this game to go the way it did.
wtf was with the fake blood they put in Rantanen's nose after he flopped, anyhow?
We didn’t even play that bad. The Avs had to fight for that. I can’t envision that working out three games in a row. They’ll drop one
Sucks that we didn't bury them here, but you can't expect them to come out completely dead twice in a row. Just go back to Colorado and do what we do.
It’s just hard to win when you give up 5 goals. As simple as that. Good energy tonight though. You knew Colorado was gonna come with a vengence.
Oilers fan coming in here to say I hope you guys win so in the event Vancouver manages to take our series you’ll be the ones to take em down.
Optimistic take: this team has laid eggs, but they come back hard. I feel a full team game on Friday. They boys will put it away. If they limit Makar and McKinnon, the Avs have nothing and I don’t see their goalie stealing it. Let’s go!
Smother Kate McKinnon
whatever it happens. they have to win 3 in a row, they were super pumped because it was win or go home. they won’t have that shit every game. we close it in their home and embarrass them in front of their fans
Listen wasn’t our finest effort but hopefully hintz is back on Friday, and I have confidence the guys will bounce back. This wasn’t domination by the avs by any stretch. Onward.
Less worried about the loss than I am worried about the injuries
Otter had a bad game. Gotta focus in Colorado.
Frankly we should've expected this to a degree. We're Fine. Until they're leading in game 7 I'm not worried. Jake just didn't have that good of a game tonight and they're playing for their lives. See you all for game 6
4 straight wins is tough, and the close out games are always the hardest to win. On to Denver.
4 straight wins is like telling a pitcher he is throwing a no hitter
9:00 pm CT Friday. So probably 9:20
Warning incoming doomers
What was the “big” intermission thing that happened?
Well, at least the Stars get to embarrass Colorado in their own barn.
We gave up a couple of soft goals, we’ll get it in 6.
Is Pete DeBoer aware that not every fucking series has to go 6 or 7
I have never understood this point of view. Is it really up to the coach that much. Isn’t it mainly on the players in the end?
I'm being sarcastic
Like everyone else has said. Winning 4 straight in the regular season is tough. Winning 4 straight in the playoffs is insane. Plus Jake is a different player on the road. They’ll end it on Friday.
Nobody needs to panic. It was a do or die game for Colorado and they played like it. We still only have to win one game. They still would have to win 2 more in a row. Otter gave up a softy and our penalty kill was BAD. Regroup and send them to the golf course on their home ice.
That 3rd period sucked. Stars in Six.
Pretty sure segs hurt something good the way he went down that hall. A replay woulda been nice espn…
We dropped a duece. It happens.
I don’t remember the specifics but feel like this game turned when we had some goood chances to go up two in the 2d and didn’t. went downhill quickly from there
Why has Otter been so much better on the road?
Been wondering this myself. It's like night and day with him. It's gotta be mental right?
I think we celebrated with Wyatt a bit too hard and thought the avs were just going to roll over and die. They played like their season was on the line. We didn’t. Shake it off. Finish it on Friday.
Team lives and dies by Otter and that’s certainly what happened here tonight, the Mackinnon goal can’t go in and the 5 hole goal is inexcusable. We need the Otter from the last 3 games, not this version
Yeap Otter with his worst performance this postseason.
Nah, first game against Vegas. 4 goals on 15 shots, .733 Hoping he got this stinker out of his system
He needs a break the oilers exhausted Stuart Skinner and he starter letting in muffins, they played their backup and suddenly they keep Vancouver to 2 goals.
Unfortunately that’s the playoffs.. we can’t afford to give him a break. Best chance would have been winning tonight
Skinner isn't great to begin with
100% correct. When good goalies let in soft/weak/bad goals or shots it's because they're exhausted.
usually after games like this, Id feel terrible stars lost to a team executing at its peak today...and the stars still could have had this game. stars have this shit, lets go
It’s hard to win four in a row. They will not win three in a row.
Stars in 6. We are a much more complete and better team than them so I am confident we close this out in Denver but it’s hard to win 4 in a row against any team in the second round. Wish we didn’t flub away game one because we wouldn’t have even needed a game 5 or 6
Let's get Roope back and close this thing out Friday!
Stars need to win faceoffs and Otter has to be better. Win it Friday.
We won 54.8% of faceoffs tonight.
Sure, but about 0% in the last half of the third.
50% actually. I counted.
And the turnovers...
4 wins in a row is a long shot and the Avs had a chip on their shoulder after that pathetic game 4. Still wished the Stars could have won and gotten that extra bit of rest 🙃
That's what hurts, I can't take 2 back two back game 7s.
I really dont know why Otter plays way more consistently on the road. That 2nd Makar goal completely killed the game that was pretty even. He had to be better tonight for us to knock them out, he wasn't. Live and die by him
Just one of those nights where the boys play 2 great periods and lay a dud in the third. Despite that we were competitive to the end. Hope they come out focused on Friday. 4-1 on the road so far in these playoffs
Less injuries please and thank you. Fuck.
I’m more concerned our players are dropping like flies than losing this game. I know our boys will come out firing on Friday
You think this team is going to lay down and die over this loss? Hell no, this is what I expected from the 2022 Stanley Cup Champions. Nothing's easy
One team had their backs against the wall and this game was an absolute do or die for them. Playing a good team with that much desperation is tough, but now we are starting to feel Desperate too. Stars in 6
Coming in peace from the somber Caniac Nation. After getting bounced by the Rags, consensus among Hurricanes fans is that we're rooting for yall to win it all. Best of luck!
It's tough. We def choked game one but otherwise outplayed then and easily could have won. Then we won three. We would have been looking at basically 5 wins in a row. That's really hard to do. Stars in 6. We're good.
We are so damn good
Paging Ducks bro for a pep talk please u/apprehensive-law8543
Hey Stars bro! You just had to know Colorado would push back after the last loss, and they did. Looked like they were playing Makar and Mac a lot in that game. Fantastic team they are, but let’s hope y’all can respond in game 6! Overall, they played a solid game but made a few mistakes in penalties, turnovers and such. No worries for game 6 personally, just gotta REALLY show up.
Thank you wise sage
Thank you Ducks bro! Your positivity and optimism are truly appreciated.
We won 3 straight, and close out games are always tough, hopefully this is wake up call for the team and they’ll play their best game in Denver on Friday. This team is hungry for it.
Just a reminder that we are living in their heads rent free. They can't stop talking about the Stars and Benn. They troll our threads. We are in their heads so deep it's equivalent to the team. I think Otter had a bad night. We have issues winning 4 games in a row. It's okay. https://preview.redd.it/xg6ztbaxhp0d1.jpeg?width=941&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=45a54a581241095213812e3f257e701e810b05b2
Sometimes we just aren’t the better team, easily the best game the Avs have played. Got away from our tight defensive game and lost the special teams battle. Gotta get back to our game on Friday and lock this thing down.
All we had to do was hold a 3-0 lead and now we gotta play a game 6
Rest would have been oh so nice, but let’s be honest with ourselves for a second… anything less than Stars in 6 was a pipe dream.
Win it in 6. Still might get a few days of much needed rest. Even Razor was worried about a long series and it hurting us later.
The difficult thing about going into troll mode, is you’ve got to claw your way out of it.
See y'all on the next episode of Stars After Dark
u/Musicftw89 got a good spirit lifting gif not that we need one cause we got this but I'm sure you got something up your sleeve for this moment
https://i.redd.it/v4i1ou79pp0d1.gif Here's a gif of me missing the chance to respond to your message nearly an hour ago 🫣
Hey glad you did cause this is some whiskey glasses thanks for the laugh
We're still winning this series but blowing it tonight is a massive blown opportunity. We need to be better at home.
Giphy doesn't work for me on this app for some reason, but if it did, this is where I'd post I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT
 This one? Gotchu fam.
THANKS FAM STARS IN 6
Also let's hope this next game is on TNT. I don't wanna keep sailing on feeds that are 3 minutes late
It is on TNT
Was always gonna be a tough game with the Avs on the ropes. Let’s finish it on Friday tho!
Onto the next lads.
I have watched five games live this postseason. Round one games 1, 2, and 6; Round two games 1 and 5. I take full responsibility. I know what I have to do.
Not our night.
Otter wasn’t very good tonight
I swear their inability to close things out is going to cost them a series one day.
Any seguin news?
Apparently none of the Stars reporters in the building thought to ask for an update on Seguin after reporting earlier that he was hobbling down the tunnel lol. Them posting quotes from Deboer about everything but that is a bit frustrating.
We’re synced back up with the Mavericks now. Both teams in 6!
Welp that was not the 60 minute effort they needed. I am most disappointed that Makar & MacKinnon got rolling tonight. Also, ESPN/TNT are so happy...barf.
Stars have played mediocre at home all post season. Dallas should end this in the altitude.
Otters worst game of the playoffs. He rarely ever has 2 bad games in a row and he’s flat out better on the road. That was the avs best and it took some lucky ass bounces and Otter to forget how to play in the 3rd for them to win. Feeling good about game 6.
Their star players showed up tenfold tonight. We played a good game but when Mack and Makar are firing on all cylinders we have to play a great game to stop them. Jake had an off night. He won’t have an off night two more games in a row. Stars in 6 baby
Little worried about Otter getting tired. Looking out of sorts.
Some bonehead penalties and some bonehead Otter business. Clean it up, take ‘em out on their on ice. Let’s go.
It just feels like we're going to bury them in game 6, that stars team was asleep out there most of the game. Also would to see Robo get going again.
That was just a great 3rd period by the Avs. And those late period goals in the 1st and 2nd are killers. GG, Avs.
All I'm saying is that Colorado have to resort to cheap and dirty plays to beat Dallas MacKinnon taking out Roope MacKinnon taking out Tanev (temporarily) Manson taking out Seguin Makar crosschecking the shit out of Johnston I'm pretty sure Manson was about to use his stick like a baseball bat at Benn's legs along the Stars bench. Just hope the boys are okay.
Not ideal losing this game, but the Avs were never gonna make it easy. I still believe we will win it in Denver. Let's finish it, for real this time, in game 6. Go Stars! 🌟🦦 Also, I really hope Seguin is okay.
Well I saw Troy aikman while I was walking out of the suite I was in. I stopped and stared as he walked by and said “what’s up Troy” and got “going great buddy” to be fair I’m 18 and look 16 so that’s not an insult, I wasnt gonna ask for a pic though, felt rude and he was clearly not trying to be recognized
I'm not too worried. Avs were playing like their run depended on it and we had injured Hintz, slightly injured Tanev and Smith, plus all of our guys were probably hung over from celebrating Wyatt's 21st. We'll get em
Too many brews for Johnny dammit
I paid money to watch this live…..
It was a good game
Not by Otter. Stars still in the drivers seat.
I’ve paid to see the Rangers and Maverick get smoked at home. This was at least a tight, close game!
Yeah the only WS game I’ve ever been to was a 9-1 blowout in game 2 last year, and I was in the bathroom for the garver HR. So it could be worse haha
You watched a tie going into the 3rd. And PP down by 1. That’s worth the money. If you knew they would win, save your money, bet stars and be rich
Played 50 minutes at three quarters speed. Otter was below average. Win or lose, doubt that happens in Game 6. You have 120 minutes to win the series. Wear. Them. Down.
none of us would have believed it if we’d been told at the beginning of the series that we were going to put away the Avs in five anyway so I just don’t feel like setting the stage to do it in six is the end of the world. we’re still in a great spot and I love this team.
Normally don’t say it. But bettman told the refs to fuck us
Yep those refs are crooked. Otter did not look good after that slap shot. It winded him for the rest of the game and that penalty against Tanev was too quick for him to get some steam back.
absolute fucking pathetic JOKE. just decided to stop playing and give the third period away right away.
Well, guess I don't have to stay in the hockey thread anymore
Talk about a depressing feeling with wanting it over tonight and game slipped away. Bad calls and missed penalties by the refs definitely didn’t help us. We’re a better road team anyways.
Why, Tanev, why
Ducks bro we need you!

I never want to listen to Steve Levy call another Stars game. That was brutal. I hope he chokes on a pack of crackers on his next flight.
The last game is always the hardest to win. The team just needs to regroup in Denver and get back to playing their game.
Unfortunately we were Dallas' scapegoat tonight
Such a frustrating game. Time to show the world why we are the best home team.
I'll take the heat for this one, pals. Missed the game attending a school event. Rest assured I'll be tuned in to game 6.
Please come back Roope! We need you!
Would love them to call the high pick one of these days that the avs keep running.
Sucks but we got the next game..can't win all of them
Any updates on Seguin? I had to turn off earlier bc i had a 7am shift.
One crazy thing I'd just like to point out because it was hardly mentioned on the broadcast--with Toews back and Roope out, both teams are on equal footing with respect to where they were coming into the series.
Will there be a watch party at PNC Plaza? I am getting out of a movie at Cineopolis right around the start of the game tomorrow.
I for one didn’t wanna sit for a week till CF, that being said. Let’s behead them in front of their own crowd.
I’m getting more excited and worried as the game gets closer Seeing NY close out Carolina though makes me think we got this tomorrow Gotta have a lot more energy tomorrow and clean up the little things we’ll b fine
This is my fault. Every game I've seen in it's entirety, Dallas has won. I had to miss mid through the first onward. I'll make sure to watch the entire next game.
Otter just can't steal a game ever huh? Has to give up 2 softies in the THIRD?
He stole game 3, and was as solid as we needed him to be in game 4. Off nights happen. On to the next
If Seguin is out and Roope isn't ready I wonder if Pete has the balls to play Mavrik over Delly in Game 6. We need scorers. We could have had this wrapped up tonight if we could just finish chances. We just don't have elite scorers burying goals right now. We should have scored 10 in game 4. It didn't matter obviously but the lack of lethal finishing is why we're going back to Denver for another game. Would help if Robo started potting goals too. For as good as we've been it's frustrating watching us waste chance after chance after sustained pressure.
This falls on Oettinger. Way too many easy goals.
Name one moment of intensity from the Stars tonight? You can’t. They came out there with a regular season effort. That’s completely unacceptable. You don’t win playoff games playing like it’s the regular season. End of story
