Dallas flips the script with a wild third-period comeback to win 4–2 and boot Colorado into offseason golf mode.
Dallas fans, grab your boots and your brooms — the Stars just cleaned house in Game 7. After trailing 2–0 like a team that overslept for their own playoff party, Dallas channeled all the hockey gods (and probably a few Red Bulls) to roar back and beat the Colorado Avalanche 4–2. Yes, in Game 7. Yes, with dramatic flair. Yes, they made it look like a Marvel movie in the third period.
Let’s talk third-period chaos. Tyler Seguin showed up like the main character in a playoff anime arc, finally finding twine to start the rally. Then Wyatt Johnston, the 20-year-old with the poise of a tax auditor, tied it up faster than you could say “icing.” And then came the avalanche… from the Stars, not Colorado.
Radek Faksa pounced on a loose puck and suddenly Dallas was up 3–2. The Avalanche looked like they’d just been hit by a Zamboni of regret. And just to make sure Colorado got the full “Game 7 heartbreak” package, Matt Duchene — in a poetic twist — buried the empty-netter like a man filing old taxes: efficiently and with zero remorse.
Coach Pete DeBoer, meanwhile, continues to be Mr. Game 7, improving to an absurd 9–0 in winner-takes-all games. At this point, someone should check if he’s secretly a playoff wizard or just playing NHL 24 on rookie mode.
Colorado? They’ll be watching the next round from the couch, likely Googling “how to forget Game 7 pain.” Dallas, on the other hand, packs up for Round 2 against the Jets with all the momentum — and probably a crate of smelling salts after that third-period rollercoaster.
