WCSF - Colorado Avalanche (2) vs. Dallas Stars (3)

[zamler]

Can't understand why anyone would cheer for a team that employs Perry.

[agulati]

That was definitely a crosscheck.

This is shaping up to a fun series

[dino7c]

Dallas was a bad turnover away from a 3-0 lead...they are going to be kicking themselves Avs had nothing before that needless turnover

[agulati]

Aves with a critical win in the series

[1_Flames_Fan]

Taste of your own medicine big D.

[JohnnyB]

This series is a hell of a combination of nasty and high skill.

Suck it Dallas. I don’t have much love for the Avs, but nice to see Dallas lose. Perry + Benn= f you Dallas.

Yep, I disliked the Avs for embarrassing the Flames last year, but there's a different kind of sentiment inspired by seeing the way guys like Benn play the game.

BC boy, grew up a Canucks fan, cheered for the likes of Cooke, Ruutu, Bertuzzi, etc. You emulate your heroes.

And Matthew Tkachuk emulates Corey Perry.

Nazem Kadri will be Calgary's new nemesis.

I'm cheering for the Stars, I also cheered for them when Joe Nieuwendyk led them to the Cup in '99.

Thirty-four year old Blake Comeau is looking like Mark Stone out there!

[tvp2003]

Dallas with the firepower to push back after being down 3-1.

Avs with the firepower to push back after a 3-1 lead turns into a 4-3 deficit.

Glad (?) to see the Avs win game 3. This should be a heckuva series.

I think Brad Marchand is a better comparable.

Me too! As a kid I liked the North Stars (remember their crazy cup run in '91?) and then it grew when they moved to Dallas and got Joe. Was a big fan of theirs in the 00's when they kicked the Oilers butts every year. I still have a soft spot for that franchise.

I'm still a bit in awe of that young defence they have. Heiskanin and Klingberg just annihilated the Flames.

Tkachuk has stated Perry is his favourite player.

[Enoch Root]

He stated Perry WAS his favourite player (when he was a kid)

[Textcritic]

I wonder if Tkachuk is his own favourite player now.

I doubt that's changed much.

Did you not cheer for Team Canada in 2010 and 2014?

[Flamenspiel]

Yep, I am good with Perry and Benn for that matter, who scored the winning goal against the US in 2014.

I only hate them when they play the Flames.
