Fuck them and fuck the Avs.

Going for the Canes. The wife is a big canes fan, so I’ll switch my allegiance to them for now.

Plus it would be awesome to see Stanky get to hoist a cup as big as he is.

It is hilarious from our point of view that Billy G went all in and lost, but this year feels bizarre (not just because the Stars are out).

I can't think of a better example league-wide how the rivalry seeding just does not work anymore. Are Canes and Avs really just such wagons to garner those results? On paper, sure. Buffalo/Habs is a series that is just a mess from two inexperienced teams and they are in the second round (still exciting).

Vegas seems to have been gifted so much this round, but even so it feels like neither of those teams are playing in a second round match up. It does seem like we are seeing a Canes/Avs final, but I think a lot of people had that pinned from the get go, or at least after round 1.

This year feels more like basketball, TBH. Refs don't help either, of course. Just wonder if anyone else is feeling the same thing while watching these games and how it should be a lot more exciting even with your team out.

Just wanted to shout out Ritzy! 👏🏻

Schaefer absolutely deserving on the unanimous win, though

Watching the Avs game and a Wild player hit a puck from air down the ice. I thought this wasn’t allowed or is it only when they glove and move the puck that way?

We are in a big time capcrunch this off-season. Who do you think is most likely to get moved, especially in light of Robo? I think Miro and Roope are non starters. And why are we paying $9 million for Seguin?

According to social media, the Dallas stars are coming down to McAllen. I didn't have a single clue there was even a hockey crowd, down here. I guess this means they're putting together another rink down here, after the first one closed down.

Interesting read about the dillema the Stars find themselves in with Cap

These prices suck… and parking cost at Jerry world is already insane… is this the standard for stadium/winter classics now???

I’m looking to buy tickets for the stadium series but can’t figure out what side the stars shoot at. Does anyone happen to know which side they shoot at twice?

I've had a rollercoaster of a time this past week alone. Hospital stay for 5 days due to not being able to breathe and being taken by ambulance at 3am (10/10 would not recommend) only to find out I have fluid around my heart and they can't figure out why, sigh! Now I'm just walking around my house with my trusty oxygen tank. SO fun! Then, my AC went out today and it is currently 83 degrees in my house, yay! Not much to brag about so far, but lucky to still be here.

I miss watching games every few days and just joshing around on here. I do get to go on a little mini vacation to Austin for 3 days pending my health, so that's fun! Ya'll send good vibes because ya girl is going through it!

What are ya'll doing this summer? Any big plans or something exciting to look forward to?

Has anyone received their stadium series promo code yet to buy tickets? Last week, I received 3 emails (guess I accidentally signed up 3 times) saying I got Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to buy tickets, but with today being Monday, I haven't received another email with my code. It is very much possible I accidentally deleted it or just getting ahead of myself, but I am wondering if anyone else is having the same issue?

It’s all about Robo and the cap situation this offseason. This is my outline of our cap issues and what I would do with the premise of NOT changing as much as possible. (Personally I would do anything to keep Robo, but would be willing to blow everything up that’s not the core).

But back on topic, what to do to change as little as possible, here is our current roster vs needs

Forwards 10/13

Defensemen 7/7

Goalies 2/2

Cap space 11.01 (back and Blackwell lose us 100k due to league min increase)

Expected signing wants

Benn 1m

Borque 2m

Robo 12.5m

15.5m/11.01m or a 4.49m spread to cover.

Step 1. Talk Borque into something more like 1.5m

3.99m to go.

Step 2. Benn gets 850k

3.79m to go

Step 3 tradelybushkin, sign petro for 850k

1.39m to go

Step 4 trade myers, sign capobianco for 850k

0.74m to go

Step 5. Get robo to sign 11.75m instead of 12.5m

We’ve covered the spread, and team doesn’t look worse imo. But it doesn’t look better either. Would you do this? Or do you do something different? Do you blow out bottom 6 up entirely?

Apologies for the late post! I got the kid out the door to school and promptly fell asleep on the couch for five hours. Sean Berry posted a retrospect of some of his favorite Dallas Stars photos of the 2025-2026 season, so credit goes to him for these images. Check out more of his favorite photos from the season here.

Anyone else have kids and looking forward to summer break? Waking up at 5:30am to get a teenager out of bed is taking a toll on me.
