New York. Are the Dallas Stars on track to achieve a historic turnaround?
Anyway, they also won tonight’s Conference Final against Vegas, thus forcing a sixth game in Texas on Tuesday night.
– We feel like we can handle this, says unlikely champion Tye DeLandria after winning 4-2.
Only four times in history — 1942, 1975, 2010, and 2014 — have teams come back from 3-0 in the Stanley Cup series to win, but now it looks like the Dallas Stars may be about to deliver such an epic turnaround in this year’s Western Conference Finals against the Vegas Goldens. Knights.
They went into overtime at home in Dallas last Thursday and last night managed to win away from home as well.
The score was 2-2 after two periods. Then 22-year-old puppeteer Ty Dellandrea took over the show. He hit his first career playoff 10.35 in the final term and a minute and a half later also scored a second goal – so the final score was 4-2.
– Of course I’m excited, I’m happy, he told ABC TV after the final whistle.
– But we have bigger plans than just winning one game and we feel we can deal with that now.
Even trainer Pete DeBoer feels that way. “If we win tonight, the pressure in this series changes dramatically. He said before the first touchdown last night — and after the victory confirmed that he sees it as if the Golden Knights are putting all the pressure on them.
– I feel very good, he smiles.
Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy does not. He is very frustrated with the effort of his players.
– We have provided 24 tablets. I’m not sure you’d beat the Arizona Coyotes in January if you shot 24 pucks and in a conference final, there’s no way you’d win that way, sigh.
Thus, the sixth game will be decided in Dallas on Tuesday night – 02.00 Swedish time.
With the fact that it will be one, it is also clear that the Stanley Cup Final will start next Saturday.
