Looked for a moment the oilers were going to blow a three goal lead.

Should be a good series with the stars...

These are four very talented and entertaining hockey clubs that are left.

One 'Original Six' club. One great team from the old WHA. And the two Southern powers from the Lone Star and Sunshine States.

Side note... Wayne Gretzy played for two of those that still remain. (And of course, great years with the Kings and a short stay in The Lou).

If we do get the Stars vs. Panthers... I can't lose. Love them both.

And if it's Oilers vs. Rangers? The hockey will still be great to watch while I'm waiting for next year.

Who are you rooting for...
Dallas and Florida for me
I have a soft spot for the Canadian franchises. Though I lived in Calgary for a while long ago, I support their rival the Oilers over the Stars.

Rangers for me, too. For some reason I don't warm to the Panthers, though they're an outstanding team.

All four teams are excellent. Two entertaining series, though FLA looked last evening like they're just too much for the NYR.

I really like Florida's style of play. Reminds me a little bit of the 2019 Blues where we would check the other teams into submission so by the 3rd period they were spent.

Playoff history involving the Blues (for example, the Ben Bishop incident) and just how god awful their fans are in general. And this isn't just a Central Division thing either. I know plenty of people that aren't Blues fans that can't stand Stars fans either.
I've been a season ticket holder for the Stars for over 30 years & you're dead wrong on this, but agree to disagree.
