All right, it's a quick turn around for your Dallas
Stars.
They take on division rivals Colorado Avalanche tonight for game
one,
second round of the playoffs.
We got Stars analyst Darrell Razor Ray in this morning.
I just wanted you to come in and go,
Lauren, it's going to be OK.
It's
going to be OK. I think a lot of us
Stars fans,
we've just, I mean the the,
the the rush, the excitement of this last round was
awesome.
And to come out with this win and to move
on to the second round,
I mean, this is where you want to be.
It is. I mean, they had to go through a
gauntlet to get,
you know, they dropped the first two games
of the opening round and then battle back.
They're the, they're the best Rd.
team in the NHL. They proved it all year.
They needed it in the opening round.
They're going to have to have it here against the
Avalanche,
ironically, who are the best
home team in the regular season.
But yeah, we have no time to bask in the
glory yet.
One day And then bam.
Right back at it again.
Thing because Colorado's had a couple days off right?
Like they're going to be well rested and we are
not.
Which makes me nervous maybe.
But rust. Rust can be your ally as well.
Watched it last night, You know the Boston Bruins win
seven games with Toronto.
Won it in overtime. Game seven.
The Florida Panthers, The Swamp Cats were well rested
and they got beat. You got good point.
Good point. Yeah. Stars have home ice advantage.
Is that an advantage because as you said,
they're better on the road.
Well, it there was late in that series
against Vegas. Yeah, you know,
you want game seven at home.
This could be a 7 gamer again.
You want, you want that?
One can handle that. Oh,
yeah. Oh, yeah. Everyone can sit her down a little
bit,
But you want that game
at American Airlines Center, right?
That's why they battled so hard for home ice and,
and to be honest with you starting the series like
this at home,
hopefully there's a little
a little drip from that opening round and they can
open up better than they did against Vegas.
Win at home and then and then put it on
the line with their their Rd.
game in Mile High Air.
It's not easy. Jake's going to have to be great
And then Jay Garden. Jay Garden just going to have
to be a storyline in this series.
The ABS can score. He can do it though If
anyone can do it,
he he's the guy. I will say
now we're going to probably or maybe see more scoring
because the Colorado Avalanche they're more like an offense team,
right? So we're going to see a lot more movement
on the.
I like this. You come do the pregame with us.
Hey, I I watch a lot of hockey.
You're
a hockey mom now. I have a hockey mom now.
So there's a lot of hockey in mind.
Yeah. You don't want. It was kind of an old
school series between the the Stars and the Golden Knights,
right? Low scoring and and grinding and depth and
you know, the games were all one goal games essentially,
and every lead felt like it was safe because of
the way the teams played defense.
This will probably be a bit of a different animal,
and we saw it in the regular season.
Not that that always carries over to a series,
but they can score, the Stars can score.
They both understand it's two of the best offenses in
the league
so no lead might be safe in this series.
Special teams and goaltending, always.
Those would be the big keys and the fans,
which you said brought it this last go round like
his.
He said his ears were ringing the next morning because
it was so loud.
In the American Airlines Center,
the absolute Bombination side, American Airline Center,
and they feed off of it.
It's like having an extra couple of people on the
bench or on the ice.
It was awesome the other night.
Let's do it again. Game one tonight at 8:30,
American Airline Center. Game two is Thursday,
also at the American Airlines Center.
There's going to be the big party on the Plaza.
Here we go. Oh, it's a scene.
OK, let's go.
Go stars.
