You better hope the Stars figure out how to better handle the puck pressure by the Oilers.  Dallas is lucky it’s still tied right now.

Stars figured it out in the 3rd.  I was seriously nervous after the 2nd.  McDavid-Draisaitl together is lethal.

Onto the next one. See you in Alberta. Mavs tomorrow night. Wild time to be a Dallas sports fan

That's as good as it gets in the NHL. The Oilers top end is insane elite. The Stars are the deeper team. Gonna be a heck of a series. That Canadian crowd is gonna be INSANE, and Dallas is the best road team in the league.

I live literally across the street from the FC Dallas home stadium. Their game against Real Salt Lake ended 3-3 tonight... that means fireworks shook my walls three times tonight,

The depth of the Stars is unbelievable.  They are not afraid to throw out the 4th line, and that 4th line can even score.  Nothing better than playoff hockey.

That 4th line is what got us past Vegas. So gritty.

Well, that goes without saying, but I’d much rather Dallas take care of business in regulation.  In game 7 against Vegas, I took my pulse in the waning moments….let's just say my doctor would have been startled.  My resting pulse is high enough as it is.

 

I was actually in attendance for the double OT loss against the Devils in 2000 and also in the 5 OT game against Anaheim in 2003.

Great pictures!  I loved the Venezia sweat pants post. Such a dad thing to be looking out for you even now.

Loudest sporting event of my life was Game 7 against the Avs in 1999. Mike Keane forever.

I was at that game, too.  Mike Keene was one of those character guys.  We always used to watch him in pregame warmups spit out the piece of gum he was chewing in warmups and flip it into the crowd.
 

I have to say, though, that the loudest sporting event in which I was attending was a game 7 double OT between Philly and Washington in Washington.  I happened to be there for work and got myself a ticket about 5 minutes into the game. Unbelievable experience.

Oh, and who could forget the “Eddie’s better” chant?

I keep meaning to by a bottle of the Belfour whiskey but it’s not cheap

[TxTeach79]

Thanks so much to the 90 folks following along! So excited to have y’all along for the ride. Business is about to pick up. Alarm going off in 6 hours. Hold me. 

[TxTeach79]

Oh just wait a minute

Okay so there’s a tornado in my county but it’s way north of me. What a night

Will it spike any further if I say game 7 OT?  Hopefully the Stars can get it done before then.

Yep, wait just a second.  Looking at the radar loop, it appears to be on a NW to SE trajectory.  That’s an odd movement.  And now looking at the NWS X feed, Anna, Melissa and Celina are in the tornado warned area.  That’s definitely south from where this supercell started.
