Some call it a setback, others swear they saw MacKinnon running from the rink with a collapsible metal baton. Who is to say the truth?

Someone want to rest Robo tonight? He has a minimum of 12 goals to score in the first round.

So mad Dallas beat them. I want them to lose their first rounder so bad.

I too would want to take out a top player on a team that has crushed my soul the last 3 out of 5 years to try and prevent them from getting the opportunity to make it 4 out of 6.

Great job Wild. Now Go Kings Go.

If the playoff schedule makers want to drop the Game 1 schedule for Dal/Min, it would be super appreciated since I booked something previously and only have so long to cancel without penalty.

While I shouldn’t have been surprised given the number of “Go Birds!” Skeets I see on a routine basis, the overwhelming amount of Gritty that has graced my timeline today due to the Flyers clinching a playoff spot was not something I expected.

Damn you Adrian Williams. I want to walk again!

Ok, but could they consider losing now.

With that 45th goal, I earn my @downgoesbrown.bsky.social bonus points. Phew.

The best part of this is Toronto losing the pick. I do not want Dallas to win.

Lmao, it sounds like he isn’t even going to play tonight.

There’s a lesson in here kids.

Wait a second. Avs/Anaheim is in play? Well that’s suddenly delicious. (Bonus Oilers/Kings for the 80th time in a row)

Seeing all these playoff teams adding a top-10 pick to their lineup and Stars fans are sitting here holding a bag of half eaten skittles, a rock, and a dirty toothbrush. Oops, the rock just went on IR.

Man, I’ve heard of resting players, but resting coaches is going too far!

In case anyone forgot, an egg slicer makes quick work of mushrooms if you need even slices.

Just thinking about what mine has been through. Countless Wine & Onesies events. Storage for work potlucks. Beers. White wines. The broken inside fridge debacle. I’m half tearing up already and it’s still with me.

I think Robo should just give him $500k and he should take a nice rest one of those two days.

Can’t spell champions without Pios.

Just realized my daughter has been alive for more DU national championships (3) than losses (2).

Johnny Hicks! That’s the skeet. That’s it. Congrats on #11 Denver!

Let’s go Pios!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DU goal and Stars clinching 2nd in the division at the same time? Ok!

Power play goal

I really appreciate the Stars saving all their goals for the Wild. A+ commitment.

This Stars game is pretty cringe. Let’s take a look at how DU is doing in the championship game.

Any day someone gets to punch JT Miller is a good day imo.

Tyler Myers is just pre-Penguins-trade Jamie Oleksiak. Prove me wrong.

- everybody who is a sports fan

😬

Why is Myers playing? I thought he was injured. Did they use parts from Miro? Because they’re doing it wrong if they did.

Harley with the proactive rest penalty. I respect it.

I hope he gets a hole in one today.

This is still one of the top 3 games I’ve ever been to in person. If you’re gonna miss the playoffs, this is the way to go out.

I absolutely cannot wait for the playoff schedule to be released and despite having half of the year to plan for DAL/MIN, then seeing Thursday’s game, then deciding to stick the games at 9pm where no one will watch them.

Good Morning! It’s a great day for the Denver Pioneers to go win their NCAA-leading 11th hockey national championship.

I’ve never been so positive I was about to get food poisoning from a restaurant and yet I still sat down and ate dinner. If I don’t make it, please know that I truly hated all of you. Especially the Avs and Wild fans.

Guess we get to find out how Gulutzan’s Stars will respond to a top player being taken out for a playoff series sooner than we anticipated.

Oh Lord, his leg fell off.

The people demand one thing and one thing only.

Oh God. I knew it was in the back of my head, but because he never played an NHL game I completely (willingly) forgot the Stars signed Marty Sertich to a deal. We really loved washed up Hobey Baker winners for a while.

Sign him Jim Nill.

I’m going to trust in the doctor and go on with my day.

I’m glad we established proof of concept of beating the Avs in a playoff series without Miro and then coming back to beat the Wild without Miro. Now that those experiments are done, let’s all laugh a little, let Miro rest for a week, and then suit up like nothing ever happened.

Here's the HD version

Good morning

GOING TO THE FINAL!!!!!! LET’S GO GET 11!!!!

What I love about David Carle is that he is always looking annoyed. Is he upset this game is still going on or that his Togo sushi order wasn’t ready at exactly 7:13pm? I honestly can’t tell.

Why would former Dallas Stars Ryan Hartman do this?
