The Stars staved off elimination again with a Game 5 win in Vegas, turning on two goals by Ty Dellandrea.
Every time I see highlights of a Vegas home loss, I think karma is at work because there’s no way that a franchise with perfectly fine (albeit gaudy, because Vegas) charcoal jerseys should foist those mustard/baby vomit uniforms upon us the way the Knights are doing again and again.
It would be an abomination to see the Cup raised by grown adults wearing those monstrosities, so I hope the Panthers or Stars keep that from happening.
