As the hockey season is entering playoffs for the Stanley Cup on April 18, I thought it would be a good time to talk about my second favorite hockey team, the Dallas Stars.
The Dallas Stars have won 49 games, lost 20 and have 12 overtime losses.
They are number 2 in the Central Division, and they are set to play against Minnesota Wild in round one of the playoffs.
This game series has the potential to be a good one, if their last in-season game against each other on April 9 is anything to go from.
The game ended with the Stars winning 5-4.
In the first period of the game Wyatt Johnston, a Stars player, got the first goal of the game. His goal was assisted by Justin Hryckowian and Mikko Rantanen.
With six minutes and 58 seconds left in the first Wild player, Quinn Hughes got the first goal for the Wild. His goal was assisted by Mats Zuccarello.
With 30 seconds left Johnston was sent to the penalty box for tripping against Matt Boldy.
16 seconds left in the first and Kirill Kapizov, a Wild player, scores for the team. The goal was assisted by Boldy and Zuccarello.
The second period starts with two penalties.
One against Wild player Nick Foligno for roughing against Lian Bichsel, and the other against Bichsel for roughing against Foligno.
With 13 minutes and 37 seconds remaining in the second Stars player Esa Lindell gets a penalty for roughing against Ryan Hartman.
With 13 minutes and 21 seconds left Kapizov gets goal number three for the Wild. His goal was assisted by Boldy and Zuccarello.
At 11 minutes and 57 seconds left the Stars answer with a goal by Colin Blackwell. His goal was assisted by Esa Lindell.
Right after that goal Foligno gets a penalty for roughing against Tyler Myers and Myers gets one for roughing against Foligno.
At 11 minutes and three seconds in the second Johnston gets a penalty for interference against Jared Spurgeon.
At three minutes and 44 seconds left Cameron Hughes, a Stars player gets a goal making the score 3-3. His goal was assisted by Blackwell and Oskar Back.
At 1 minute and 55 seconds the Stars get another penalty; the call was on Myers for holding against Hartman.
At 11 seconds left in the second Hartman gets a goal. His goal was assisted by Spurgeon and Quinn Hughes.
The next goal happens in the third. The goal was scored by Rantanen and assisted by Thomas Harley and Johnston.
With nine minutes and 25 seconds Robertson scored a goal bringing the game to 5-4. His goal was assisted by Lindell.
With seven minutes and 52 seconds left, Hartman gets a penalty for roughing against Adam Erne. Erne also got a penalty for roughing against Hartman.
With two minutes and 30 seconds left Rantanen gets a penalty for slashing against Jonas Brodin.
With 15 seconds left four penalties were given. Quinn Hughes got a penalty for roughing against Harley, Rantanen got one for roughing against Boldy, Harley got one for roughing against Quinn Hughes and Boldy received one for roughing against Rantanen.
With that excitement on all the fans minds the round one series of the playoffs is going to be a fun one for both sides of fans.
