The Stars and Wild meet in Round 1 for the third time. Here is everything you need to know — the players who will decide it, and what could swing the series. #TexasHockey blog.niceshark.com/stars-vs-wild-everything...

Regular season is done. 50-20-12. Five straight wins to close it out. Playoffs start Saturday against the Wild. No Hintz for Games 1 and 2, but Heiskanen is getting closer. This is the time of year to be playing your best hockey. #TexasHockey

Happy birthday (4/16/1994) to former Dallas Stars forward Gemel Smith. Smith scored 20 points (11-9-20) over 3 seasons with Dallas.

Okay of course I'm happy the Stars won but did our boys really need to go to a S/O when they have playoffs around the corner? Let these men rest.

Now watching the #Blackhawks for the same reason I frame my 2 yo's artwork on the wall and tell him how good it is.
