Alright alright everyone. Let’s not get to carried away with praise on the Nucks. Hahahaha. They’ve gotten more than they needed from us.
Although, I am picking them to win against the Vegans. I thought the Hawks were in most games against them and the Hawks aren’t good at all. I think the Nucks can sneak out a couple lucky wins and a couple well earned wins!!!

I was watching the 5min recap of the Nucks-Knights game. Based on the highlights, the Vegas dominated the first game. Especially Pacioretty's goal was as if Vegas were figure skating around the Nucks players. Am curious how the Nucks will react in the second game.

Dallas vs Tampa for the Cup.
I'm gonna take Dallas in 6, just because I've been back down here for a couple days and haven't seen a single Stars fan yet, so of course they'll win it and then they'll appear out of thin air.....

Tampa touched the Prince of Wales trophy....
feel even better about my Dallas pick now.
on a different note, when the Cup is won and Gary comes out to present it, will they play boos in the barn in Edmonton?

Dallas burbs. I'm stuck here for a bit visiting the special lady's family. I can't claim to be a big fan...

Well, have a safe trip, and be nice (tough it out) to the in-laws. I'm not, tbh. one, it is football season, so..... cowboys.... two, I've been to two games here (one each in '16 and '17) and there were more 'hawks fans both times. there are some good hockey fans here, but not anything like living around Chicago or Detroit. I've met a bunch of hockey fans here, but at least half of the time they are fans of a team other than the Stars. probably because half the people around her folk's neighborhood aren't from here. I see more Blackhawks stickers/flags on cars here than Stars... also, they aren't the in-laws yet. maybe someday, if she is lucky.....😛

It would be interesting to hear how many Minnesota North Stars fans are rooting for (and against) the Dallas Stars? I know it's been a long time since they moved onto Dallas, but I have to believe there are still many in Minnesota who were loyal to the North Stars and angry when they left.

out and about today before a pivotal game 3. groceries, cat food, and hit up the automotive store. I'd say a good 2 hours at least, likely more.
not one stars fan. no flags. no license plate frames. no bumper stickers. not a single stars thing in sight. I saw a Bears fan, though.....
halfway there, Tampa. halfway there.....

Â maybe there's only 20,326 hockey fans total in dallas. i wonder if tampa's fans are just as indifferent? as I've said, there are hockey fans down here. there are also many transplants, so that helps with attendance. I've also not been everywhere in the metro Dallas area, so I'm sure there lots of Stars fans about, I'm just not seeing them. Tampa is a good hockey town from the little bit of time I've spent there.
