How could you all forget Antti Miettinen

We really threw away his prime

Nothing highlights how bad this team was better than the team trying to get fans excited about the potentials of Vincour and Larsen.

Junior Lessard was this team’s best prospect at one point

I still remember when people thought Matt Fraser could turn into an NHL player . Pretty sure he was also ranked really high on prospect lists for a couple of years

Turned him into Kari, which filled our goalie spot for years.
All Kari did for the Stars was allow them to pick in the early to mid teens of the draft rather than the top 5 or 10. Not his fault, but the organization would've benefited from being a slightly worse team during Kari's best years.

Miro was one of the youngest players of the 2017 draft so that makes sense . Makar is almost a year older than Miro.

I hope Vegas loses . They're a very unlikeable and dirty team . Also they're cocky as hell which is why they're in game 7 in the first place today.

I think it was fun watching Makar and Heiskanen share the ice. I'd kind of like to see Hughes and Heiskanen head to head in a series as well.

Hot goalies are scary ... Vegas is the deeper, better overall team. Both could pose some problems.

13. There are so many things to say about Miro Heiskanen on a nightly basis.

For tonight, we’ll leave it at this — he’s the Conn Smythe favorite at this point, and this series may have won him the 2021 Norris Trophy on reputation alone.

Stars 20/20: Kiviranta goes from scratch to Game 7 hat trick as Stars advance

I can't imagine Gaglardi could be happier, financial crisis or no, signing a $1.65 million bonus for a Conn Smythe win and then turn around and sign another $1.65 million bonus next season for a Norris.

Canucks also have Jordie and Rouss . So more former Stars to play against .

Oh dear God no ....

I don't want to listen to NBC talk about brothers playing one another every other second of the series. I forgot about that. That's crack to crappy media members.

So watching that second game 7 . Vegas plays super angry but and dominating so far but is not playing for dirty goals but take a clean shots a good goalie will save. I don't think thats how Vegas is going to solve Demko. The Avs series on both sides was mostly garbage goals off tips on both sides which goalies didn't have much of a chance on. Vegas doesn't seem to be doing that.

Tampa looking very much rested . Isles look like the team that had a game 2 days ago and then traveled yesterday .
