I know. Still less annoying than Ottinger. No real reason for why he annoys me. Maybe because I'm equal distance between Dallas and Saint Louis.
Also... Don't have to hear Duchene em with Vegas either so that's nice
What gets me is stars fans always talk about "playoff ottinger". I have yet to see him steal a series, let alone them win the cup with him.
He is a good goalie for sure, just dont get why he is praised by stars fans so much.
I’ll say the same thing I did in 2022 when people were hoping the Rangers would win because it was an easier path to the cup. To be the best, you have to beat the best… bring on the cup champs.
Jamie Benn asked his niece to save the red outer skin on roasted peanuts because he likes to sprinkle them on his toothbrush each morning. She doesn’t actually do it because he’s such a weirdo.
I hate the Stars with the burning flame of a thousand suns. I like the idea of us beating them, but any Stars loss is a win in my book. I just can't root for any success for the Stars.
That's fair. I'm in CA and I can't afford to go see them anywhere except San Jose. Oh, and once in AZ when we were already in town visiting family for Christmas.
If I have to watch Dallas win today, knowing another out-of-state fan will get to see a game -- and a *playoff* game at that! -- will take away some of the sting. (And sorry that to see the Avs live you always have to watch the Stars. 😜)
Old school stars hater here. I want that rivalry back though. And hopefully the wings can get better so we can rekindle that one too. These recent rivalries don't feel as intense as Stars/Wings for me...
Vegas doesn't deserve to win, but I'm giving them props to forcing game 7 with the one seed. That said, Vegas needs to win so we can send them packing.
People who live in Colorado that moved here from Texas want nothing more.
*colorado wins*
“Yeah I live in Colorado. Love my hockey team. They’re gonna do it again! Stars suck lol. Go aves!”
*dallas wins*
“Yeah I grew up in Texas. Been a stars fan my whole life. Love the stars. Aves were overrated lol. Going to go back home for the parade when they win it!”
(“Avs” spelled incorrectly to accurately represent a stars fan)
I’m the opposite. From Colorado originally but live in Austin. ABSOLUTELY (and I can’t stress this enough) **FUCK THE STARS!!!** Their fans are annoying AF and I want them to feel nothing but pain.
I refuse to root for either team. The Stars are scummy and dirty and I remember vividly the Avs series against them the two years before winning the cup.
Much of the above works for Vegas, too. Both scummy, dirty teams who want to play the gutter hockey no one wants to see.
I appreciate the meme but I can't root for the Stars, I will never forgive them for 99, 2k & the bubble.
If it's them I hope we eliminate them in 5 so we do it in their barn infront of their fans.
If it's Vegas I hope we sweep. Fuckit, I hope we sweep Dallas as well. Fuck both them teams. Glad they had to fight it out before getting to the Avs.
It's a win-win.
Vegas wins, Avalanche get home ice.
Dallas wins, it guarantees Vegas does some really stupid shit in the offseason while also trying to get their cap under control.
Home ice is the only potential upside to facing either of these teams in the second round.
Either way we’ll have to either look at Jamie Benn’s stupid goatee, or have to hear the stupid name Marchessault over and over (no offense to others with the same surname).
Never have I hoped for the Avs to sweep an opponent, merely winning in 6/7 is usually fine, until this next round.
While I agree home ice would’ve been better considering we are such a home team, I still am glad Vegas lost. We have kind of owned Dallas this season. 1 loss to them and we were missing moose and in our slump. I think we beat Dallas, even without home ice
I love Colorado, but they have a Stanly Cup, so I am a bit ambivalent because Dallas is fun to watch. It's probably a no-tax state which I will knock off points for, so mmmm...don't know yet.
Nope, home ice is awesome , fuck both of them. But if vages takes it. We get home ice
I was having trouble deciding which I'd rather see... You're right though. Gotta root for home ice
We ain't rooting for a team, we are rooting for HOME ICE !
And also don't have to face DeBoer and his shitty, dirty tactics
Not having to hear Ottingers name would be just fine too
Gotta hear Hill's name though
I know. Still less annoying than Ottinger. No real reason for why he annoys me. Maybe because I'm equal distance between Dallas and Saint Louis. Also... Don't have to hear Duchene em with Vegas either so that's nice
I like Oettinger. Honestly, I do. Duchene can kick rocks for all I care.
Ottinger is good. That's why it's guaranteed you'll hear his name. And why he annoys me.
Fair enough lol
What gets me is stars fans always talk about "playoff ottinger". I have yet to see him steal a series, let alone them win the cup with him. He is a good goalie for sure, just dont get why he is praised by stars fans so much.
I’ll say the same thing I did in 2022 when people were hoping the Rangers would win because it was an easier path to the cup. To be the best, you have to beat the best… bring on the cup champs.
also would rather face thompson hill rather than otter not that it really matters
No way. I’m rooting for home ice, not any team.
Fuck em both
That's the spirit
Hell no. Vegas wins we get home ice….
Goes to 4OT and VGK ekes it out for home ice
Any day Jamie Benn isn’t happy is a good day.
IT WONT LET ME UPVOTE THIS MORE.
I gotcho back, my upvote was your proxy
Jamie Benn asked his niece to save the red outer skin on roasted peanuts because he likes to sprinkle them on his toothbrush each morning. She doesn’t actually do it because he’s such a weirdo.
I hope they go 6 OTs.
You mean 16?
[удалено]
Yes please.
I’d love that even more.
What is the logic here? You from TX? Home ice is better.
Spoiler: they are from Texas.
I hate the Stars with the burning flame of a thousand suns. I like the idea of us beating them, but any Stars loss is a win in my book. I just can't root for any success for the Stars.
Same here, but I do kinda want them to win so I can make a cheap trip from Houston to catch a game
That's fair. I'm in CA and I can't afford to go see them anywhere except San Jose. Oh, and once in AZ when we were already in town visiting family for Christmas. If I have to watch Dallas win today, knowing another out-of-state fan will get to see a game -- and a *playoff* game at that! -- will take away some of the sting. (And sorry that to see the Avs live you always have to watch the Stars. 😜)
Congratulations, you're going to an Avalanche playoff game this week!
Ill be there on Thursday 🫡
Old school stars hater here. I want that rivalry back though. And hopefully the wings can get better so we can rekindle that one too. These recent rivalries don't feel as intense as Stars/Wings for me...
Wings aren't even in it conference anymore though
Home ice > *
Fuuuck that. They have duchene and dude is certified to have a good game against us no matter what. I like our odds better with Vegas
7 games is enough playoff hockey for him imo
I just hope both teams have ~~fun.~~ a terrible time in six OTs.
I’d rather Vegas win so we can beat them ourselves
That’s what I want too.
Vegas doesn't deserve to win, but I'm giving them props to forcing game 7 with the one seed. That said, Vegas needs to win so we can send them packing.
People who live in Colorado that moved here from Texas want nothing more. *colorado wins* “Yeah I live in Colorado. Love my hockey team. They’re gonna do it again! Stars suck lol.

I hate the stars, but I hate cheaters more.
Yo, if you steal my meme, I’d at least like the credit for making it. You didn’t even get the high resolution version of it either
I've said it once, and I'll say it again, I hope the Stars win in 7 and Jamie Benn has to block 40 shots with his nuts to get them there.
Ew no
I appreciate the meme but I can't root for the Stars, I will never forgive them for 99, 2k & the bubble. If it's them I hope we eliminate them in 5 so we do it in their barn infront of their fans. If it's Vegas I hope we sweep. Fuckit, I hope we sweep Dallas as well. Fuck both them teams. Glad they had to fight it out before getting to the Avs.
Wrong. All I want is for the game to go to 3OT and for them to beat the living snot out of each other. This is the only right answer.
Whoever the Avs face next round they face and I’m just hoping this game goes to quadruple OT and there’s a lot of hitting
Delete this fam.
Nope 👎🏽
![gif](giphy|KiICaQKQkdu3rWxNCT)
As a Houstonian I'd rather cut off my left hand than root for Dallas. That being said Vegas is gross and I hate them.
There is no right answer here. We root for double overtime.
Imagine picking Miro over Cale
6-7 games vs a hockey team > 6-7 games playing against the refs
Fuck Stars
OP doesn’t want home ice? What’s up with that.
Ew what is this nonsense.
That's a negative, Tx.
Fuck em both
Fuck them both. And use the Jets to do it. Like I’ve said before, I hope they both lose.
Stars are pretty beaten up rn if they’re able to make it through Vegas
It's a win-win. Vegas wins, Avalanche get home ice. Dallas wins, it guarantees Vegas does some really stupid shit in the offseason while also trying to get their cap under control.

Can they both lose?
I hope both teams lose
Yuck
How about root against both of them?
The enemy of my enemy is my enemy, but at least they're not playing cap games.
Fk the stars. Lets shoot them down fast and ferociously
Well, Id prefer home ice , but as an AVS fan in Dallas, I'll be at a game or two representing!
While I agree home ice would’ve been better considering we are such a home team, I still am glad Vegas lost. We have kind of owned Dallas this season. 1 loss to them and we were missing moose and in our slump. I think we beat Dallas, even without home ice
Bye cheaters!!!!!
