The Dallas Stars dropped Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs in frustrating fashion, falling 5–1 to the Colorado Avalanche. But if you’re doomscrolling through the box score, don’t panic just yet. Ryan and Chris are here to break down why this game looked more like a turning point than a total collapse. From MacKenzie Blackwood’s unexpected playoff debut heroics to the Stars finally flipping the proverbial switch, there’s plenty to unpack—good, bad, and goalie’d.
We dive into:
Why the score doesn’t tell the whole story
Dallas’ resurgence in energy, structure, and physicality
Goaltending matchup: Blackwood vs. Oettinger
Key mistakes, missed chances, and special teams impact
The “hope meter” and what’s needed in Game 2
Plus, our Biggest Winner / Biggest Loser segment returns with some pointed takes.
