Robo helped clutch the game
Ottowa was playing dirty all night and the Stars just made sure to fight back and show them whos boss.
Hearing anything on Duchenne or Benn as far as returning to the lineup?
That was an awesome game!!! I foresee stars in the play offs already…lets go all the way 💪
Beautiful clutch dub!!
I think hintz and Robo are about to go off.
Throttle back on the wide-eyed giddiness.
let me know when we break the curse of barely winning games! Seriously, can we get some blowout wins any time this season? I mean I look at us and I look at Colorado, and even 'Peg and I think we're not in their zip code.
Mikko is the best player on the Stars since Modano. No doubt. You’re right Joey. When he gets the puck I get excited like I used to when Mo would have it. You just know something is about to happen. He’s a Superstar. No doubt.
It's fair to say that Mikko is on a different level than the rest of the team. So many times this season that he sees an opening and ready to pass but the other players haven't even seen it much less skating towards it. I'm glad he's here a while cuz once the team learns to play at that level, it'll be a whole new ballgame… Puckgame?
He gave em the Mikko sneako in between the cheeko 🤣
Love watching especially Mikko, Roope and Miro lately. My first game I became an official stars fan was the Game 7 avalanche game last season, and I have been enjoying it ever since ☺️
