Good win stars even with lots of injuries
Rantanen picking up right where he left off last season
Annunen looked amazing, I hope he gets more playing time.
Dallas! Stars!
Another win but the central is still a gauntlet and this league is the most stacked it’s ever been
Mr. Commentator….it’s Wyatt Johnston not Johnson.
Whole league is stacked. STACKED.
The play by play sounds like he’s doing a comedy impression of “sports voice”
Casey stood on his frigging head to win us that one!
I think DeSmith should play more often this year
