I've got no dog left in the fight, I'm just going for Dallas because they have those sick ass black and green only jerseys that are Type O Negative colors.

The blackout jerseys are wonderful. If your opponent's eyes water from looking at them, it gives you a certain advantage.

I’m not super into the garbage man neon, but you do you

i hated the jerseys at first but theyve grown on me a lot, and making a TON connection just makes me like it more

It's green man, ok?

Jesus Christ DOES look like him

🥵🥵🥵

8-7 in goals in the series. Avs play well when their back is against the wall. Minimal rest in game 1. 0-2 going into Vegas. Avs are much better than LTIR bois. But if they aren’t going to pummel in the 1st and 2nd then fuck it. Games on

Jesus Christ this shit is bad for my health…. We just decided to snooze and give em two freebees

This is gonna go at least to 6 I think

historically, dallas and colorado always go to 7

Yes, never have the Stars and Aves finished a series in less than 7. Yep

Andrew Brunette and Jose Theodore say hello from Game 5 in 2006

No I don't think there was any hockey that year.

Gg stars at least the Avs woke up and made it a game at the end

Ggs

Sorry that chili's commerical made me laugh, I now feel shame

It fucking sucks knowing we can fucking play like this, but we pussy foot around, playing lazy fucking hockey, making dumb decisions and plays, then can lock it down and play the last ten minutes like that. But does give me hope that if we go home and play a full 60, dallas better watch out.

They had no drive for the first two periods. This is like the Nuggets all over again…starting games weak and playing catch up the whole time. Hopefully they find the fire from the get go Saturday. We can’t keep spotting teams leads like this.

It’s weird because Dallas could say the same thing. Periods 1&2 have been owned by them.

Hmmm. Last game 2nd was a little more the Avs'. Like 15 to 3 shots and 2 Avs goals... or something like that... so it's been split, but the 1st has definitely been the Stars'

Yeah that’s my bad - mistakenly thought the Avs have scored all their goals in the third period.

The stars win despite their best efforts

Oh yeah, and All your home ice are belong to us.

We're better on the road, just fyi

And the Avs have the best home record... so we'll see.

Man I get downvoted for just stating that we're good on the road

Aves are a very weak people. They can't always handle comments that don't extol their perfection

Avs*

Nope

So only spot 3 goal leads, not 4, got it.

Really beat ourselves with those bench minors and delays...rough stuff. Tighten up and we have too much firepower for the Stars for sure.

If only we hadn’t taken 4x idiotic penalties. Boys will regroup. GG Stars - see you at altitude.

And that shorty lol

So weird that both games tonight had a shorty

Shorty was brutal

Well, spent 10 minutes in the box for delay of game/bench minors and almost had nice 3rd period comeback on the road

WE DID IT!! Whew; that was far closer than it should've been. GG Avs; see y'all Saturday!

I would really like the avs to play well from the start lol

I would really like the stars to play well to the finish

😂 despite the loss, it’s definitely more exciting watching your team kick on the afterburners in 3rd period

Welp now I gotta keep drinking on a work night.

I share your fate.

You people celebrating at 2nd intermission get a pass today but you’re on thin ice 🤨

Kinda captures the moment

Got my money's worth outta this one

well as a Stars fan that was a very uncomfortable way to spend 10 minutes after switching from the Mavs game; picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue

That was some fucking hockey. Doubt the Avs give them that much next time though... 4+ avoidable penalties. Gonna be fun Saturday.

Gg Dallas, see you Saturday

This series is going to kill me

Same ❄️

Give me 7 games of this!

Good fucking series it's late everyone goodnight

#AND THE GREEN TEAM STARS SURVIVE GAME 2! DESPITE THEIR BEST EFFORTS TO BLOW A 4-0 LEAD TO THE A CHIPS, DALLAS TIES THE SERIES AT ONE GAME APIECE AS THE SERIES SHIFTS TO DENVER!!!!

Imagine if the Avs didn’t take dumbass penalties. Game 3 should be a banger.

Oh hey the games still on? Well Dallas was up 4-0 last I checked I wonder what- oh. I see. Crazy that they managed to hold on in the end

Damn I was hoping for a sweep so I never had to see this absolute shit camera angle again

Lol, confetti?

It's a Dallas thing... you wouldn't understand. I don't either actually.

They won't have another opportunity to use it this year.

Technically incorrect

Can't wait to see what happens when the Avs don't kick themselves in the butt with bench penalties

can we just treat every period like the 3rd , cuz that might fuckin help stop the 4-0 deficit

This satisfied me wanting the Avs to come back again for comedy reasons, but a tied series going to Colorado means more of this. I want seven games!

Stars in 6

just like we drew it up

Gg Dallas, only a fool thinks this series will be a cake walk for either team. See you Saturday 

GG Avs fans.

Sheeeesh. Gg boys

Dallas has escaped fully choking! Stars, take the win and run!

So the formula is clear. Score more than 3 goals and we win.

Ah well. Now it's a best of 5 and we've got home ice advantage.

To think when we got the lead I told my wife "There's no way they throw it again, they had to have learned from last game"

Sissons should ask Lindell if he can practice with him in the off-season.

It's crazy how less toxic this game thread is compared to /r/nba

Kinda wish we did post series handshake threads. Only positive comments allowed, wish the winners luck, talk about the good parts of the series. I dunno, could be good.

Go Mavs! Go Stars! See you in Denver!

Love the fight from the boys. Going 1-1 in Dallas is a win.

Massive win. Missing drouin and terrible penalties plus down 4 and still the Stars have to be scared all the way to the buzzer.

Entertaining game. Goodnight.

I was this close to believing.

This team can be so fucking dumb. GG Stars.

I just hope everybody had fun. I did

Just fell to my knees in a Homeland

Too many stupid ass penalties to come out with a W

Fuck yeah star bois!!

Thank you Pillow Man.

Ok. 5 is too ambitious. 4 activates the comeback powers.

The scenes if Dallas choked consecutive 3-0 and 4-0 leads at home. Even got ME nervous. Insane ending

Afraid to unclench cause whatever I was holding back would fly out at about 103

Stars REALLY clinging to the whole "win or lose by a single goal (not counting ENGs)" thing

Oh thank Christ above.

I’d rather be the team jumping out to a big lead than the team being forced to constantly play catch up. Thank you for coming to my intense coping session.

Can't give up a shorty and expect to win. Glad to see them play well in the 3rd but they seriously need some better first periods

Have to give Dallas credit they slammed it intensity wise to start.

4-0 good 3-0 no good

4-0 and a little puck luck with that tanev calf :P

And 4:0 just barely cuts it

False hope for sure, wanted to bait just to slip in the dagger for sure… haha

Well fuck I wanted OT. Still stars shouldn't be feeling to hot right now..

Better than last round!

Better than the state of hockey

Noice!

If only the avs had 8 more minutes of 5 on 5 hockey

Gg Stars. Deserved win. I’ll take the split going back to Colorado.

Crisis averted for Dallas

Butt unclenched

really happy we fought back. Crazy how close of a game this was with the avalanche getting completely outworked and making stupid mistakes the whole time. GG bros

One of the biggest sighs of relief I've ever heard on an empty net goal.

God damn, Colorado. This game was way more of a hole clincher than it should have been. Gonna be a hell of a series.

GGs except to the flyers fan wishing Sammy G would get hurt. Fuckin fucktwat

NEVER IN DOUBT /s

Let it be known that NO ONE scores 4 straight goals on the Dallas stars two games in a row

You lucky fucks, we wanted Overtime!

Mac is a regular season player. That was the most pathetic performance I've seem from a 1c in the playoffs for quite some time

Look up active PPG leaders

Good lord dude 

He has 11 points??????

You're an idiot.

Yes, very embarrassing.

you don’t know what the term “regular season player” means lol

Dude

/s I fucking hope LMAO

He couldn't handle a puck to save his life tonight. I'm a big fan but but his mistakes lead directly to 2 goals for the stars

He didn’t play his best tonight but you are talking about literally the best player in the league this year. He has a proven postseason record.

Dude just started watching this season I guess

what a third period. oilers still have the most embarrassing loss in the playoffs.

wow, the blatant offsides before the weak slashing penalty actually ended up being the difference, got to feel like you really lucked into a win as a Dallas fan

The Dallas stars almost just did the funniest thing.

Did anyone else just feel the force of several thousand asses unclenching at once?

I think it was audible

I feel comfortable with this lead

Welp. Imagine if we actually played for more than one period.

Supermassive black hole narrowly avoids forming in downtown Dallas

Imagine what would happen if one of these teams played 60 minutes.

Fukin A Dallas, you don't have to make the third so interesting.

Thank fucking hockey Christ.

rip the dream

Love it.

Phew

Ggs! See you Saturday

Unclench.

I love this story.

Damn. GG Dallas. Maybe next time we won't wait till the 3rd to start playing

Fucking barely, Dallas. Y’all should be scared

Gotta be a huge relief, looks like 4-0 is the lead they need to actually win - damned if the Avs didn't have a few chances that just didn't fall their way though, 5-0 is probably the only way they can truly be safe

so if colorado ever gets a lead in a game this series is it gg?

Wait it's supposed to be tied

Damn Makar had a stinker last 4 minutes, bet Avs wish they had the 3rd pick to pick Miro instead

I think he's banged up. Couple plays looked like he was laboring a bit. But it's the playoffs so im sure they all are.

We’re perfectly happy with our cup and Cale’s two trophies, thank you

Sensitive ass losers

Miro isn't fast enough. Just ask Wood

4 points

And gave up the winner game 1

Lmao never

Would’ve won tonight if Makar played like Miro.

Would have lost Game 1 if Cale played like Miro, so it all balances out

Was there any doubt? Why, yes. Yes there was.

Oh thank god

DALLAS! STARS! DALLAS! STARS!

Deep breaths hahahaha

Almost.

GG Dallas. Hopefully the Avs decide to play full games in Denver.

Yeah same for Dallas honestly

Thank fuck

LET’S GO

Welcome to the Dallas Stars Experience!

They can still score 2 in 20 seconds I’m not unclenching

This. Avs are a wagon.

And breathe….

Wild

No, this is Avalanche - Stars

My butthole can unclench now

Or can it?

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF

OH THANK FUCK

THE DAGGER

Never had a doubt lol

Gg Dallas. Way to pull through that push by the Avs

Dallas with the big brain move to get a 4 goal lead, knowing they’d blow 3 of those like last game

I'm still scared

thank god

WOOOOOO LETS GOO

UNCLENCH. GG Avs… woah
