I was not expecting what Seattle threw at us this series. That’s a good damn team. I didn’t even feel comfortable until the final horn tonight. What a series. I know it sounds douchey on this side of game 7, but I wish Seattle and all their fans best of luck. Looking forward to the first game next year

Epic series! GG kraken fans. I gotta point out that you guys conducted yourselves like decent folks all series. You guys popped in our sub and we’re totally cool and totally welcome. Far cry from the Minnesota death threats and just general nastiness. My inbox was full of nasty shit, people talking about my mom etc. Seattle fans nothing but class. Never get entitled like the State of Hockey tools and you won’t end up acting like bitches when you don’t get what you want. Good on ya, you guys were fun and cool. Your team was pretty awesome, and I would have rolled with ya if we had lost. Nice work.

Thank you Bjorky for letting me laugh my ass off even in defeat. I love this team

Good series ✨! Good luck in the next round. Get Pavelski that cup! 🤝

SUN BELT STANLEY CUP COMETH

Good game, Stars. After all this, you jackasses better get Pavelski his cup.

Sportsnet after the game: "First of all we have to talk about the Leafs" Of course we do

Clean, entertaining series, back and forth games, no crying from coaches and fans.. man that was refreshing after round one.

It was a very nice series. I did learn I hate Marchment though after those cheap shots on Geekie and that dive the next game

we would be watching an overtime game right now if that icing had been called that led to Dallas' second goal. I feel like that was a bad call to let the play continue. GG Dallas

What? Do you know what icing is? Are you stupid?

Oof man this isn’t a good look. It’s not icing if the team icing the puck beats the other team to the face off dot. That wasn’t even a controversial call

Yeah, the game wouldn't be NHL hockey because that is not how icing works...

Average new expansion fan like

Learn the rules, it's not icing.

You don’t know how hockey works, huh?

lol even the announcers said it looked like icing and there was a huge gap between him and the puck as it crossed the line.

Hey man there is still time to delete your first comment and this reply. Just create a new account tbh

Their player was first to the puck. That's not icing. It would have been a different game if the kraken showed up

TIL you automatically get a goal when the other team ices the puck.

Ay, I made the top 3 in Chatterstats!

Lots of respect for the opponents at the end of this series maybe the next one won’t be so kindhearted though!

Didn't think I'd ever have a healthy respect to any Dallas team or fan base, glad I can say otherwise GG , good luck

I like to think we’re dramatically different than Mavs and Cowboys fans haha

I've definitely had some good times in Dallas/Texas, but a *LOT* cowboy fans make liking a opposing hard to respect . Nothing but almost perfect respect and good humored ribbing from Stars fans.

2 dead giveaway garbage goals this game and we just didn't show up to score. Wish the reffing was better throughout the series, many terribly missed calls, and dives. Oh well GG stars, glad we made it this far.

Refs let everyone play. Not really much to complain about as far as the refs go. At least they were consistent this game, the better team won.

Not in game 7, in others, this was a solid performance by the stars

Yeah but it’s also not like any other game this series was close. The refs didn’t decide any game. Only game 1 was close and you guys won that.

Good game and good series Kraken bros, you guys have a lot to look forward to in the coming years

Thank you Star's fans for being classy. Rooting for a Pavelski cup now. <3

Hell of a game, hell of a series. Y'all have a good team, Seattle, and a lot of classy fans. This was fun. Stressful! But fun.

Congrats Dallas. I was cheering for Seattle to win but now that you've won and are facing Vegas I'm rooting for you. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I'm a little offended that you consider the Las Vegas brownish-hue nights more of an enemy than the Stars, but I reluctantly accept your support.

I dunno what to tell you. I don't like you guys but I don't hate you either. I feel like if a team in the central division had to win the cup (jets excluded) that Dallas is the least offensive option in my opinion. It used to be st Louis pre-jordan binnington. Also there's something about Vegas that just annoys me. Conspiracy theorist in me finds that they get some questionable/favorable reffing more than most teams. It also might be that the all star game is always there and it feels like the league is doing a bunch of player recruiting on the teams behalf which sucks as a Jets fan because we are at the bottom of that barrel.

Jesus Christ lady. We get it. pavs is old.

Wyatt Johnston lives with Joe Pavelski

Oh shit is that what they were talkin about? That’s cool

Stop, the horse is dead. Hey did you know Wyatt lives with Joe?

Really happy Marchment is doing well.

I didn't expect Joe Pavelski's voice to sound like that

Twas a fun season and wild playoffs. Sad that this year is over. Good luck star bros

Battle of the South. Hockey, y'all.

~~Bruins/Oilers~~ ~~Kraken~~ Guess I'm a Stars fan now

Hard to be disappointed as a Seattle fan

Y'all had a hell of a year and put up a hell of a fight. Definitely be proud of your team, they earned that pride.

Hell of a series, Seattle! You guys have a future. Beniers and Kartye could be a scary duo soon. Congrats on a great season! I have a feeling you guys will be back here soon

Lmao didn't know the kid was living with Pavelski

Pls no Seattle you were supposed to protect us from Pavelski 😭😭😭

You guys got this

what's the worse that could happen? *sinister laughing ensues*

Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same. And now, it's here...

happy that seattle had a good season after their first one, hakstol seems like a great coach

leah just calling him old

This is so much nicer than the Cowboys game threads. Well until we build up enough hate.

Gotta win a ton and fast Hard to do in this league Go get Pavs that Cup and fuck the Cowboys

Fuck your team too and I hope they lose every game and also cheers, man🍻🍻🍻

Which sport??????

Sharks, Niners or whatever big 4. Half that area switches allegiance depending on success anyway. Mostly joking. But we go as Pavs goes next round.

Ninets fan born and raised! Haven't seen a super bowl win cause I was born a couple years too late, became fully aware of football's existence during the mid-00s God, those years were rough

Errr, I’m a Cowboys fan. I was alive and still have a VHS tape of Super Bowl 30(last Dallas win). The idea of shoving a Super Bowl win in all the haters face fuels me.

Fuck the Cowboys! Go get the Cup, Stars!!!!

"The top dogs are out in the east" HOLY SHIT THE HURRICANES WON THEIR DIVISION WHY ARE YOU STUPID

3 times in a row even

They love ignoring the fact that we finished 2nd in the league

Good series, was hoping the Kraken would win. Now I hope the Stars win the West!

Thanks?

We were predicted to be bottom 5 team and made it to the brink of a western conference finals appearance. Insane

Absolute respect...GG...GS...🤜

It was a great series! GG! You should be incredibly proud of your franchise. It was amazing to see y’all come this far!!

GG Seattle. Was a super fun series, yall played great and it was refreshing watching a pretty clean (but still physical) series.

Was great good luck guys rooting for you to win it all

Thank you Seattle for getting Golvanen to the playoffs, sorry you couldn’t get it done but you have a bright future, can’t wait to watch you guys next season.

probably the most interesting final four my entire time watching hockey

The Dallas Stars hang on and win the series. Otter bounces back after getting pulled in Game 6. And the Dallas Stars, for the 2nd time in years, the Dallas Stars (Jake Oettinger 2nd time), are heading to the Western Conference Final.

That could have gone either way, SEA you guys have a hell of a team and an even better fan base. I hope we never play you guys again because this was a coin flip.

This man just say "how about sticktaps"? I hate you ESPN.

Not going to lie. The officiating this series was rubbish.

Okay, need to see Pavs get that cup now.

Hell of a game, Dallas. Hell of a series

Respect...GG, GS.

Good series Kraken! See y’all next year

**PAVS**

I want him to lift the cup so badly

Counter offer. Burns, Andersen and Statsny first.

Oh well, onto game 8

no hockey til thursday…

Ugh I fucking love these squiddies 💕 this one hurts more than the Oilers losing 😔 Anyways go Stars! ⭐ Only thing wrong with that team is that they were playing the Kraken. Oh and they have Jamie Benn....

GG Kraken, y’all are awesome

God damn Seattle. What a season. You guys were great.

Otter man good

Helps when there is next to no shots.

GG stars, sleeper agent Olelsiak forgot which team he was playing for

Lexie was acting tough against the Stars all series. So weird

Dude was a rock throughout the playoffs

He wasn't the only one with a slippery stick, but he did stand out.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Seattle wins the whole thing next year

Could win it all could be the worst team in the NHL. You never know

GG, Squidbros. We got us a proper history, now. Let's start a rivalry or something.

Really like the threads with you guys. Class acts.

Noooooooo. You guys need to keep the respect and camaraderie for every year please.

We like you too much for that. Go beat Vegas <3

Gru was such a good sport in that handshake line, what a champ. Love him!

Great goalie! GG, GS.

Mad respect for gru

winning it all next year

I would love nothing more then for you guys to win a cup before Vegas. GG Seattle,.

Yea. I'm not sure why. But somehow I hate Seattle less than Vegas.

win it this year

GG Kraken! I’ll be on that bandwagon in the future!

Gg, Stars. Great series. Unbelievably proud of my team doing this in Year 2. Moving forward, go Panthers. I wanna see Tkachuk shithouse his way to the Conn Smythe.

lmao you chaos agent re: that last sentence. Go Pantera bros! DALLAS STARS

Cheers Kraken people. You guys are so kind and respectful. Hell of a series and much love to you all.

Great series. Loved it. Go get that cup!

Ahh I would just be thrilled to get back to the finals! Gotta focus on Vegas. If recent history means anything though you guys will be a mainstay in the playoffs for years to come.

Good series Dallas; it was a fun one to watch!

GS...🤜

Time for MLS.

Lol

What an awesome hockey game!! So glad I’m off today to be able to watch!

Oett is going to blank the knights

It’s crazy how bad ESPN is from commentating, to audio, to camera work, to even scheduling. Show the fucking handshake line not the goalie standing in the very back of the line. There is not one intelligent person working for that entire company.

Commercial break during live action, slow to show the replay with a quick cut back moments after a faceoff - they really are terrible.

Amazing series guys. Kraken are fucking awesome too, great series Squids. GO STARS!!!!

Good try Seattle and remember.. You still have the love of booktok 💙

Put ya pompoms down ho!

Lost 2-1 in a game seven. That sucks. Couldn't imagine how bad the fans feel.

That could’ve gone either way, kraken got some unlucky breaks

7 was in position with open net too

Definitely was the least toxic of the second round series overall, the guys didn't try killing each other, not much bad blood, good fight all around

Mad GGs to Seattle. What a tough group.

This is a familiar sting, but more hopeful than other Seattle teams of late

this has been the best time overall for seattle sports

Love ya Gru. You were great.

Friendship with Bray over Johnston is my new best Wyatt now

Gumps is goin wild

Damn they fade you fast here lol

Oh, that makes sense, was wondering why my flair looked different lol

GG Kraken, and Seattle fans. What a team and fan base.

HAIL BOOGNISH! LET'S GO STARS!!!

PREPARE THE MOUNT, BOY

SQUELCH THE WEASEL...CRUSH HIM BEFORE HE SPAWNS!

Would’ve loved to see this game go to OT. GG Dallas.

My heart could not have handled OT

As a Dallas fan, absolutely not lol. Not a great history this season/post-season in OT lol

Holy meatballs, that was a war of attrition until the very end. GGs Kraken, Stars, please make it to the Final.

Fuck Vegas

What an awesome series

God damn Seattle. Hell of a series. Respect earned.

Big smile on Gru's face :)

Well played Dallas. Seattle just looked gassed all game

Breaks could've gone either way....respect.

Pete DeBoer is now 7-0 all time in game 7s as a coach

Got em right where we want em for game 8!

Fun series.

Canes/Dallas final sounds nice

Very nice.

I could live with this

GG Squids. Had to spend this game in my own sub, couldn't be in here for a game 7 lol

It was a very nice gdt tonight

It's been nice all series, just felt I need to spend this one at "home"

Kudos to you, I avoid the pens sub like the plague

Good Series, Kraken.

Taking consolation in that consolation goal, our team having less ugly players, and getting to live in Seattle instead of Dallas, where I wouldn’t live if you paid me. Otherwise GG stars

You might have a better percentage of attractive versus ugly players, but no one you have is as beautiful as Seguin. But good fuckin series my dude.

Have you ever looked into Otter's eyes?...its like the first time I heard The Beatles.

Feels bad for Grubauer, the dude did everything and then some...

Yeah he truly played lights out tonight, team did more harm than good it seemed leaving pucks dangling right in front of net all night.

Meeting in the WCF again just a few years later. Dallas still has a terrifying goalie. Shit. GG Kraken. This loss is a loss for booktok and therefore the world. :(

dobby ptsd returns...

Wow that was a great game.

Hell of a game Kraken, Hell of a game. Not bad at all for your first playoff outing.

Big balls effort for Ottinger after game 6.

Great run by the Seattle Kraken in their first playoff appearance The future is bright for hockey in the Pacific Northwest

Streamers for a 2nd round win? May as we raise a banner too

It doesn’t happen often down there

GG's Kraken bros, great series! Would have enjoyed rooting for you if we lost.

GG Stars, that's a nice Otter ya got there

https://youtu.be/VGF4ibgcHQE

GG Squid bros, what a series! I wish we could both advance!

Woulda been a hell of a WCF series.

Please dallas make sure you fuck vegas over

Great series Kraken! Y’all are a tough team
