Stars light up the scoreboard, Avalanche left searching for the emergency brake in Game 5 dust-up
If Colorado thought they were going to cruise through Game 5, Dallas just tossed a pair of barbecue-sauced skates in their path and yelled, “Not today, partner.”
April 27 turned into a Lone Star highlight reel as the Stars absolutely cooked the Avalanche 6–2, tying up the series and sending a very clear message: we’re not done, and we brought snacks.
Jason Robertson said “Howdy” with two gorgeous goals that had Avs goalie Alexandar Georgiev wondering if someone greased the puck. Roope Hintz followed that up with a snipe so nasty it might get banned in a few provinces.
Jake Oettinger looked like he activated goalie god mode. He denied breakaways, stoned rebounds, and gave off the energy of a man who had definitely read all your tweets about him being “inconsistent.”
Colorado tried to claw back with a couple of nice efforts from Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar, but honestly, the Stars were rolling like a beer league team that actually remembered to stretch.
Miro Heiskanen was everywhere — blocking shots, firing lasers, possibly reprogramming satellites — the man does it all.
And let’s talk about that third period: Dallas basically turned it into a dance party and Colorado never got the invite. Jamie Benn even dropped in a goal like, “Hey, remember me?” while the Avs looked like they were buffering in real life.
By the final buzzer, the crowd was louder than a Friday night rodeo and Stars fans were ordering round two of “We told you so” nachos.
Game 6 is now must-watch TV, and with both teams tied at 2–2, we’re entering the “please hydrate, emotions incoming” phase of the playoffs.
