Really wanted to sell my seats tonight. But I guess I'm taking a friend. I don't have good feels about this.

Faksa replacing Dellandrea on the 4th line tonight.
Curious if DeBoer will mix up the top 3 lines as well.

I don't like this at all. Faksa has done a whole lot of nothing for a while. Delly was giving you some speed and energy at least.

Ohh I forgot! Our high school championship ended in a shootout this year so I wasn't thinking straight.

I'm on the fence. Faksa wins faceoffs and can get to the hard areas (not that Dellandrea can't). May make the difference in a game like this. But I agree, Dellandrea gives you better speed and drive. Faksa does kill penalties, but it'll take something pretty egregious to get a penalty called tonight, so that may not come into play. The Faksa-Smith-Steel combo was playing pretty well at the end of the regular season. Hopefully they can find something tonight, but it does seem risky to break up the chemistry of that 4th line at this point.

I don't think there's any need to be nervous. All six games have been incredibly tight, and that is what I expect again tonight. It's going to come down to who makes that subtle, deft touch or the ability to put a shot above the keepers shoulder.

I'm ready to head downtown already

It was great hearing Ralph Strangis again. Thanks for sharing that!

Stars have some pretty memorable Cinco de Mayos as well

At almost 1:30am Central, and at 9:03 of the 4th OT, Brenden Morrow scores the game-winning goal (aka "Cinco de Morrow") to defeat the San Jose Sharks 2-1, and send the Stars to the Western Conference Finals. Marty Turco made 61 saves. pic.twitter.com/ucqwjDLdDx#TexasHockey

Also forgot how legendary the old PA voice was. Dude had a set of pipes. Wish I could remember his name, but he was the best in the NHL. I think he retired?

Just saw Mino outside the AAC. Ok we got this

I believe his name is Bill Oellerman. Yes, he has a great voice.

I saved an MP3 of him announcing the Stars lineup during one of the 99 Cup games. I threw it in my public Dropbox folder if you want to grab it, along with the TV call of Brett Hull's winning goal.

99 Stars starting lineup

Hullelujah!!

Also, from the same game, it is still what I consider the most clutch save I've ever seen in a hockey game. Strangis' call is amazing.

Sold

Happy Cinco! Let's take this!

Had Monty not gotten canned in Dallas, where do you think we would be right now?

LETS GO!!!!!

Looks like the crowd arrived on time tonight and are extra rowdy. Let's go!!

Take advantage

Pavs continues to be a liability

Stars look tight. Silly mistakes.

I hate when we try to make a pass entering the zone on the PP. Drive in there deep!

Close your eyes type of pp.

Stars doing a good job on the penalty kill. Come on.

Power Play looks like they don't know what to do

Not good when you get outshot on your own Power Play

Wasted PP

That was an atrocity.

What a joke of a PP
