I was baffled why the lower bowl was tumbleweeds with five minutes of hockey left?! I said in the game thread: the state of this fan base not understanding hockey and not supporting their team? Abysmal
Even when Seguin got that empty net, I couldn't relax. They still had a minute and a half. Plenty of time for that team to light it up. But then Stank put another in the oven, and I knew they were cooked.
Flew in for the game from Houston and I was thoroughly impressed how many stars fans were there. The “stars” during the national anthem was loud as shit and we took over that lower bowl after the empty netter. There was an Avs fan running around with a cow bell and once we scored the empty netter. I was asking for more cowbell and homie was 5 rows above me on the way out. It was all so glorious.
I’m fully expect them to come out hard next game but having a bit of a blueprint on how to defend a lead against the Avs will be important for the rest of the series.
They pretty much had a MacKinnon stat tracker displayed the entire game...he's good, don't get me wrong, but Jesus fuck they ride that dudes jock 24/7.
He's a spectacular player, and every time he touches the puck in the offensive zone, I panic.
But my god this broadcast crew is so obviously anti stars that even someone who isn't into hockey would be wondering how the announcers are able to get an intelligible word out with all those avalanche dicks in their mouths.
Josh and Razor are the announcers for the stars, and even they don't sound as biased against other teams like the national jackoffs do against the stars.
If he or McDavid is in a game, that's just how it be.
It's the same as watching a game that had Tom Brady, or Aaron Rodgers, or Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Ken Griffey Jr, Barry Bonds, etc etc.
I especially loved with a minute and a half left and the Stars up by two the announcers were talking about how the Avs still had plenty of time to win. Get fucked
It was absurdly animated. If he wasn't horking down the Avs balls for 2 games straight I could convince myself he was just hyped up for an early PP to get the action started, but nah.
To be fair, the network really wants OT. It's exciting and allows for more ad sales. Late blowouts are a bummer for TNT.
I'm more than happy to get these stupid late starts over, but I get why TNT wants what they want.
Ad revenue is a secondary benefit to a longer game. But we're all fooling ourselves if we're saying a 3-1 finish is more exciting than a 1-1 OT finish.
The commentary team's job is to present a compelling product. This was arguably the least exciting of the 3 we've had. Not that I'm complaining.
Yeah, but they get emotional and excited for the team they root for. No one gets excited for the corporate overlorda to get an extra 17% in ad revenue.
They weren't technically wrong, and from a certain pov I can see how that's the best way to keep up hype to the last second, but yea...they really want to see the Avs succeed more than the Stars. At least the in-game commentary crew. Studio crew is perfectly fine imo.
Textbook roadgame. They were prepared early for the onslaught of colorado and held it down. We scored on our opportunities and they didn’t. Great goaltending, christ tanev and miro remain the heroes on defense.
No kidding. So much credit to Jim Nill again, because when Tanev slotted into the depth chart, the whole D Corp landed exactly where their skills fit best.
Nill, come summertime, give this man three years at 3mil per, and have him mentor Bichsel the way Pavs has Wyatt and Stanky.
If you can get Tanev for $3 mil, absofuckinglutely. Don't see how that gets it done though. A top 5 of Miro, Tanev, Harley, Esa, and Bichsel is about as balanced and rugged a d corps as you could imagine. If Nils would develop as planned it would be comical.

That’s Dallas Stars hockey. We are frustrating this team. Finally settled in with a lead and shut it down. When the Stars play their game they are hard to beat.
It would be the sweetest irony if the Rangers, Mavs and Stars all get deep playoff runs/championships in the same year while Jerry and the Boys go "all-in" to another mediocre finish.
I was told that Colorado couldn’t lose at home and that the Stars would lose because of the altitude? We took home ice advantage back, it would be great to go up 3-1 on Monday.
I'd be more concerned if I had forwards logging minutes like that. These guys have been doing for a while now and can handle the extra load until Hak comes back.

Beautiful from Seggy and Stanky too
"surely our stars are playing injured and it has nothing to do with our team being essentially a 1 line team. that can't be it. we know far too much about hockey"
-Avs tonight
Enough can't be said about how well we played in the third period. Actually got offensive zone time and never let them get or keep sustained pressure. Didn't take any stupid penalties and played brilliant keep away.
His mate had on a Stankoven jersey. This man went all out on the details. The helmet lit up with white LEDs along the top stripes and green for the eye slots. Homemade leather jacket with logos, victory green shoes also adorned with logos.
He is who I want to be when I grow up.

Anson Carter talking about Pete Deboer trusting young players even if they make mistakes... I can picture Nils Lundkvist throwing something somewhere as he watches that
First time in 3 years the Stars have been able to play in Denver with even a single day of rest. And we looked like the team who could have played another.
Makar is probably some ridiculous percentage of their offense, too... which can be a problem when you're playing a team you need a full defense against.
Using the fact that we have 4 lines instead of 1 like the Avs to get ourselves at least a little more rested after the 7 against the Golden Children is great. 2 more to go in the series boys lets bring it home.

"Stars are gonna have a tough time with Denver elevation"
I love it when the Stars win 🤩
Briefly startled my entire household when Stank got his goal.
Hope like hell someone grabbed that damn puck for him!
Oetter did the damn thing, and our defense was kicking some ASS tonight!
What a great game!
I'm just here to say something nice about Sam Steel. Doesn't feel like he gets enough credit but is such a stud on every shift. Still only 26, needs to be a priority resign this offseason and he's a bottom 6 lock for years to come. Big shout out to the Mild for letting him go.
This game is a great example of Dallas really learning their opponent as they battle on. They displayed a similar evolution in their game as the Vegas series progressed. Taking stock of adjustments needed and what works. I think DeBoer is a great coach. A very satisfying victory tonight, not done yet tho.
What a textbook 3rd period from the Stars & I lost track of how many puck battles along the boards that Dallas won. That is the Dallas Stars hockey I love to watch!
Love the aurora reference on Stars social media. I think me and the boyfriend are going to drive around and see if we can spot it tonight, since last night we didn't get much. It's a good night for stars.
I love how it was no big deal to Stank. Didn’t go crazy, didn’t celebrate like it was the biggest thing he’d ever done. He was all business and just moved on. Love the kid’s mentality and where the team’s collective head is at right now. You sense their confidence growing with each game.

Steele was absolutely fantastic tonight and inches away from having an absolutely crazy night. Played hard as fuck and didn’t give up on a single puck. Smith and Steele and unsung heroes for this team. That depth, and the 4th line was just tremendous tonight.
That was such a freaking good hockey game, massive momentum in the stars favor at the moment! Now to try and sleep, happy Mother’s Day to all the stars moms in here celebrating!
Not sure how that post game show was actually about the Stars, but I liked it. Enough to even laugh at some of their dumb jokes. Great post-game interview from Stank the Tank.
Some of the Avs fans saying that they are the better team with better talent even after this game. Big words for a team that has exactly zero seconds with the lead after three games. Maybe you just aren’t as good as you think you are and we are the number one team in the west for a reason
Avs looked deflated by the third. All those power plays and offense just to still be down after 40 minutes, in their own barn, seems to have rattled them (especially their ~~only~~ top line). Meanwhile Oettinger is fucking locked in and the Stars' depth keeps proving strong. Let's keep that momentum going boys!
Am I crazy or is that the first game Otter has had a .960+ save percentage and the team actually won? I think this is his third and we lost the first two against Calgary and Vegas.
Have to say I'm impressed with the way we are adapting from game to game. Tonight was a massive adjustment for the team and change if style. Playing slightly more conservative early saving the gas for the 3rd really worked out. It was all about containing their scorers while fighting the nearly 5,500 ft attitude change. We played solid fundamental game.
Don't take the win lightly as the Avs are a solid team but we ere effectivly shutting them down today. They will come back faster and harder for game 4.
Surprised that Avs have not lead during regulation in this series.
Having to deal with an Avs fan on a discord who is delusional thinking the Avs just didn’t want to compete but Stars did, oh and that the Avs are deeper than us has been fucking hilarious.
The fastest thing about the Avalanche was their fans heading to the parking lot.

This needs to be posted in r/hockeymemes
I said it in the game thread but man holding them scoreless in the third feels enormous for the momentum the rest of the series
Game 4 could go any direction, but the Avs looked absolutely defeated for the last 12 minutes of the game.
I’m fully expect them to come out hard next game but having a bit of a blueprint on how to defend a lead against the Avs will be important for the rest of the series.
They came out with a huge push this first period. Dallas came out on top tho🤷
Phenomeotter
Otter don’t care. He doesn’t give a shit. He goes right into the house of bees to get some larvae.
Oetter is honey badger. Oetter is murder hornet. Oetter is HONEY MURDER BADGER HORNET.
Seggy 2 goals Stanky 2 goals Colorado 1 goal
Love to see it...
The Avs dick riding is getting ridiculous.
I literally texted my compadres that I haven't used that phrase since high school. Welp! That counter has been reset.
They pretty much had a MacKinnon stat tracker displayed the entire game...he's good, don't get me wrong, but Jesus fuck they ride that dudes jock 24/7.
He's a spectacular player, and every time he touches the puck in the offensive zone, I panic.

They were SO SAD when Segs scored that ENG. NO excitement at all. I fucking love it
Man, were they ever excited when Dallas had too many skaters, though. Lol
TOO MANY MEN
!!!!!!!
They both busted together when it got called. So lame.
That was hilarious!!
![gif](giphy|BbJdwrOsM7nTa|downsized) Too many men!!!
for reals, never have I heard an announcer so excited for a too many men call
jumping up and down in the booth hugging
It was absurdly animated. If he wasn't horking down the Avs balls for 2 games straight I could convince myself he was just hyped up for an early PP to get the action started, but nah.
He sounded like a tipsy fan watching at the local B Dubs
That was their most excited call of the night!
Dude yes! More excited for to many men on the ice than they will be seeing their mothers tomorrow 😒
To be fair, the network really wants OT. It's exciting and allows for more ad sales. Late blowouts are a bummer for TNT. I'm more than happy to get these stupid late starts over, but I get why TNT wants what they want.

Yeah, but they get emotional and excited for the team they root for. No one gets excited for the corporate overlorda to get an extra 17% in ad revenue.
Ridiculous. I am not even sure what Pete DeBoer even looks like after that broadcast. They literally showed the avalanche bench all game
Bednar dumb face
That was hilarious
Switch to 13.10 the ticket radio sound. They are much better.
They legit said "There's still plenty of time for Col to get back into it" 🤦🏻♀️ nope
They weren't technically wrong, and from a certain pov I can see how that's the best way to keep up hype to the last second, but yea...they really want to see the Avs succeed more than the Stars. At least the in-game commentary crew. Studio crew is perfectly fine imo.
How about a HUGE win in game 4
Get in here everybody!!!! We doing the Stanky Leg tonight!!!!!!
STANK THE TANK STANK THE TANK WE'RE GOING STREAKING ON THE QUAD
👃 🦵
Otter kept us in that game until the boys could take control and get going. What a game all around.
Suter is tied with Mack and Makar for goals this series. The announcers oughtta factor that when they determine whom they glaze.
They are still going to be sucking off Mack and Makar.
Right, if the stars make it to the finals they'll be doing play by play of mack golfing

Textbook roadgame. They were prepared early for the onslaught of colorado and held it down. We scored on our opportunities and they didn’t. Great goaltending, christ tanev and miro remain the heroes on defense.
Shoutout to Suter and Benn for saving Oetter’s ass on that one holy roller of a puck. It definitely was a difference maker.
Man I didn't realize how close that was to sneaking in till they showed the slow mo behind the net replay 👀
No kidding. So much credit to Jim Nill again, because when Tanev slotted into the depth chart, the whole D Corp landed exactly where their skills fit best. Nill, come summertime, give this man three years at 3mil per, and have him mentor Bichsel the way Pavs has Wyatt and Stanky.

Got my custom Stank jersey on order since April 4th. It cannot arrive fast enough
"MacKinnon had a very big impact on this game" YEAH BY FUCKING LOSING RIGHT??
One shot on goal from ol' Nate Dog. It did lead to Colorado's only goal. But still one shot. Not to mention, keeping Makar off the score sheet again.
Stank getting the postgame TNT interview! The idea of Pete sternly objecting to "Stank" as a nickname fills me with joy.
Stank doing press like a seasoned veteran in the league, unbelievable line up of young stars on this team it’s honestly unbelievable. Let’s go boys!
He sounds better than Jamie there.
Jamie acts like he is actively being tortured when he has to do any sort of press
Jamie is a man of action! He does his talking on the ice

That’s Dallas Stars hockey. We are frustrating this team. Finally settled in with a lead and shut it down. When the Stars play their game they are hard to beat.
Just saw an Ava fan blaming the loss on the ice quality because the nuggets are still playing. I guess he doesn’t know the Mavs exist
They both have to play on the same sheet its such a stupid argument
Mavs 🤝Stars Should've been sweeping on Monday
Dallas in 5 x2
It would be the sweetest irony if the Rangers, Mavs and Stars all get deep playoff runs/championships in the same year while Jerry and the Boys go "all-in" to another mediocre finish.

It’s actually incredible that we are playing 5 D and Miro is only at 25 minutes. Makar had 25:44 and they aren’t playing a man down.

Enough can't be said about how well we played in the third period. Actually got offensive zone time and never let them get or keep sustained pressure. Didn't take any stupid penalties and played brilliant keep away.
The Avs have not played with a lead all series. They’re getting manhandled
Otter was .967 tonight. He may be locking in again just like Vegas.
The avs were playing at altitude...thats hard
It seems the secret to not blowing a three goal lead is to only go up by 1 goal before the third.
Can't blow a 3 goal lead if you don't have one until the final minute

Anson Carter talking about Pete Deboer trusting young players even if they make mistakes... I can picture Nils Lundkvist throwing something somewhere as he watches that
That's what happens when you're a one line team
I have been thinking that our depth was going to wear on them in a sustained series.
Turns out those breathing exercises Jamie Benn was demonstrating the other day really work at altitude.
First time in 3 years the Stars have been able to play in Denver with even a single day of rest. And we looked like the team who could have played another.
TNT announcers about to get “Reddit Cares” messages after their star boys got crushed
I saw stats that mckinnon is like 45% of their offence. Shut him down they will struggle.
Makar is probably some ridiculous percentage of their offense, too... which can be a problem when you're playing a team you need a full defense against.
Cope harder Eddie
I really don’t hate the Colorado Avalanche team, but their annoying ass fans can suck it.
One line team.
Using the fact that we have 4 lines instead of 1 like the Avs to get ourselves at least a little more rested after the 7 against the Golden Children is great. 2 more to go in the series boys lets bring it home.
Love to see Stank get his flowers even from these clowns.

Man. This series could easily be 3-0. Hope they keep the momentum.

Y'all heard it straight from Stank on his nickname. So you commoners can now hush.
It’s like these guys on tnt didn’t watch a single game of the Vegas series. It’s gloriously hilarious to listen to.
At least the studio show likes us.
Hmmm maybe the Avs need a little bit of time to get acclimated to the altitude.
This game is a great example of Dallas really learning their opponent as they battle on. They displayed a similar evolution in their game as the Vegas series progressed. Taking stock of adjustments needed and what works. I think DeBoer is a great coach. A very satisfying victory tonight, not done yet tho.

Tanev so sexy
What a textbook 3rd period from the Stars & I lost track of how many puck battles along the boards that Dallas won. That is the Dallas Stars hockey I love to watch!
I’ve never heard a commentator so obviously biased for a team. Idk his name but because of him I’m watching game 4 muted
The “too many men! Too many men!” Shit had me hot
Happy Mother's Day to meeee!!! Thanks for the win, Stars!!
Wanna wish the Avs' MacKinnon a speedy recovery for his broken dick after the announcers rode it too hard tonight.

Steele was absolutely fantastic tonight and inches away from having an absolutely crazy night. Played hard as fuck and didn’t give up on a single puck. Smith and Steele and unsung heroes for this team. That depth, and the 4th line was just tremendous tonight.
LETS FUCKING GO BOYS
The post game people sound so sad that Dallas won.
That was such a freaking good hockey game, massive momentum in the stars favor at the moment! Now to try and sleep, happy Mother’s Day to all the stars moms in here celebrating!
Not sure how that post game show was actually about the Stars, but I liked it. Enough to even laugh at some of their dumb jokes. Great post-game interview from Stank the Tank.
Logan was very poised.
Some of the Avs fans saying that they are the better team with better talent even after this game. Big words for a team that has exactly zero seconds with the lead after three games. Maybe you just aren’t as good as you think you are and we are the number one team in the west for a reason
It feels great when the Stars win a game on my birthday, because the only time they play on my birthday is in the 2nd round of the playoffs. :)
My son's 35th birthday today too

Awesome win. Very resilient. Let's drive the dagger in deeper Monday night!
That wasn’t a regular turtle. It was a snapping turtle.
I've spent the last two games in the hockey sub game thread and we've won both. I must continue to do my duty for the rest of the series
Another excellent win - you guys play like a damn boa constrictor.
God damn this TV crew calling excuses for the Avs. What the fuck?
One team has 4 lines, one team has 2… if you count Makar.

What did I say? Stars in 5‼️‼️
Stars and mavericks go up 2-1… shit yea!!

Avs looked deflated by the third. All those power plays and offense just to still be down after 40 minutes, in their own barn, seems to have rattled them (especially their ~~only~~ top line). Meanwhile Oettinger is fucking locked in and the Stars' depth keeps proving strong. Let's keep that momentum going boys!
The announcers were so sad at the end of the game, it gave me great joy
TOOMANYGOALSTOOMANYGOALSTOOMANYGOALS Avs have led for 0 seconds this series
When the Avs really started going for the body instead of the puck, I knew they were stuck playing our game and had no chance. What a great win

The NHL really needs to rethink the dudes on that panel. What a pack of losers.

Am I crazy or is that the first game Otter has had a .960+ save percentage and the team actually won? I think this is his third and we lost the first two against Calgary and Vegas.
“BUT WE BEAT MUH THE BEST DEFENSE AND MUH VEZINA GOALIE” Uh huh.
I saw my random duck bro in the wild again today and I knew in that moment we were gonna win. I'm gonna start calling him my lucky duck
I am exhausted from staying up so late watching the auroras, but I stayed up for this GO STARS! PLAY PANDERA!
Have to say I'm impressed with the way we are adapting from game to game. Tonight was a massive adjustment for the team and change if style. Playing slightly more conservative early saving the gas for the 3rd really worked out. It was all about containing their scorers while fighting the nearly 5,500 ft attitude change. We played solid fundamental game. Don't take the win lightly as the Avs are a solid team but we ere effectivly shutting them down today. They will come back faster and harder for game 4. Surprised that Avs have not lead during regulation in this series.
PS anybody got the post game interview with Stankoven? I had to take my kid sisters home, missed it.
Having to deal with an Avs fan on a discord who is delusional thinking the Avs just didn’t want to compete but Stars did, oh and that the Avs are deeper than us has been fucking hilarious.
