Bad news for Hill. Paper Tigers > Vegas.

I'm rooting heavily for Dallas, so I hope you're right.

Deep thoughts time

I was really pondering how if Dallas (or Houston when they eventually get a team) ever got a generational talent (not just star and supertar level), hockey would explode even more in Texas. It's a shame that the generational talents have gone to Edmonton 2x, Pittsburgh 2x and Washington and Toronto. Some might debate the generational term so loosely used, but I'd put: Gretzky, Lemieux, Crosby, Ovechkin, McDavid and Matthews all in that category. It remains to be seen how close Bedard gets to that. Makar is probably nearly there for a defenseman. Anyway, point being, if Dallas had a super exciting offensive talent it'd be bonkers there; as it is the popularity is strong.

Thought 2: when it's not my favorite team playing I have a hard time seeing home fans watch their team lose. It's always a little funner to see the crowd go wild in a good way. But alas, Vegas has my heart so am still pulling for them to come out of this series. But I'm sure the home fans deserve better.

Dallas has to win tonight if you ask me. They were good in these spots in the regular season and always made it 3 wins in a row after dropping a couple. If Vegas turns the tables here it puts the Stars in an uncomfortable position.

And I think they should. Although, the Stars amazingly haven't beaten Vegas in regulation in their own barn for 10 straight games and they've lost the last 5. You never know how much those things come to play.

But yeah, I'm kinda picturing a close win tonight, Vegas avoiding elimination at home and then a dramatic game 7.

It’s a must win game for both, winner of this takes the series

Who's calling this series for ESPN? More specifically, who is the colour commentator that seems to have a stroke every time they try and say Dellandrea?

Ryan Callahan

He also says "Robinson" and "Johnson"

Crazy as it seems, I’d prefer an 8:50 start to a 6:30. DFW is so humongous big and traffic is no bueno. Very Tough for people to make it there on time (as you’re about to see)

Yes. Everyone is going to say WOW empty crowd in 5 mins.

Just like... the universe?

Where's your face Celena?

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Classic ESPN audio

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Let's go Stars

 

[Praetorian Caps]

Oh man the players look really intense and ready to go. This is going to be a tough and physical match!

 

[kingsholygrail]

Why is the ESPN camera work so disorienting?

 

[MrHeiskanen]

How can anyone take the broadcast seriously when the audio source changes when you change cameras.

 

[heretik27]

Alright Dallas, don't disappoint me like the Jets and win this f***ing game.

 

[BB79]

Drunk cameramen

 

[Vinh]

Brutal turnover early.

 

[Tofveve]

Dallas came to play

 

[Amorgus]

Keep that train rolling, Dallas

 

[Vinh]

Slick play by Robertson off the wall.

 

[Tofveve]

Lindell took too long

 

[Summer Rose]

The camera angle at this arena is very disorienting.

 

[Praetorian Caps]

I hope Dallas doesn't become complacent tying the series up otherwise they'll fall behind again. They want to take this game so they have their foot on Las Vegas' throat, for the series.
