Fuck Dallas!

Gonna grasp at straws here and say the opponent will be the Leafs, Blackhawks or Penguins.



And fuck Dallas getting a game before the Horseshoe.

It won’t be at the Death Star aka Jerry World. I’m sure Jerry will be preparing for another Super Bowl run.

I guess it’ll be at the Cotton Bowl although that part of Dallas doesn’t exactly scream “Hockey hotbed”.

I'm not a local but I'd set up a rink at the Southfork Ranch and have Niklas Hagman drop the ceremonial first puck.

I am a local and I’d bet the number of hockey fans near Southfork is 100 fold the number in East Dallas where the Cotton Bowl is. The Allen Americans draw pretty well from the Plano area north to where I live. I make around 10 games a year.

Nashville's goals for% since Thanksgiving is 3rd worst in the league but they're still a top half team in goals against.

Goaltending's been an issue, injuries as well, but that just screams flip one of your star d-men for a forward.

Ryan Ellis for Connor Brown

Dan Ellis for Connor Brown

Flames get hosed on a goaltender interference challenge for like the eleventy billionth time this season.

Waiting for the NHL to call back that Lindholm goal for hurt feelings. Oh 2nd period over, I guess it will stand.

Yay, the Habs end the OT quickly.

He said Tenshin is a true champion and a great fighter
