CEDAR PARK, Texas – The Texas Stars, American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL’s Dallas Stars, and FOX Sports Southwest announced Thursday the broadcast schedule for the 2018 Calder Cup Finals against the Toronto Marlies.

FOX Sports Southwest will broadcast three Calder Cup Finals games for the Texas Stars:

GAME/DATE - NETWORK - TIME - LOCATION

Game 3 – Tuesday, June 5 - FOX Sports Southwest PLUS - 7 p.m. CT - H-E-B Center (Cedar Park, TX)

Game 4 – Thursday, June 7 - FOX Sports Southwest PLUS - 7 p.m. CT - H-E-B Center (Cedar Park, TX)

Game 5 – Saturday, June 9 - FOX Sports Southwest & PLUS - 7 p.m. CT - H-E-B Center (Cedar Park, TX) (if necessary)

The Calder Cup Finals is a best-of-seven series with the AHL’s Eastern Conference Champion Toronto Marlies holding the home-ice advantage and hosting Game 1, Game 2, Game 6 (if necessary) and Game 7 (if necessary) at Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto, Ontario.

Stars LIVE Host Josh Bogorad will provide play-by-play and Stars Analyst Brent Severyn will serve as the color analyst on FOX Sports Southwest. In addition, Texas Stars play-by-play voice Brien Rea will call the action via the online audio stream and in-arena broadcast. A complete series schedule and additional broadcast information can be found at TexasStars.com.

 

To be honest, I'm not expecting this to go past 5 games.  Toronto was the best team in the league in the regular season and has won 9 straight playoff games.  The T-Stars have won 11 playoff games, 7 of them in OT.  It has been really fun, but it's now David vs Goliath.

Fuckin' A!  Stars went into Toronto and won one of those games that only happens in hockey.

Got dominated in the first, scored three in the 2nd, gave up an early goal in the third and then took a penalty, but scored a shortie.

5-2. 

Game 7 on Thursday on NHLN.

Sporting News:

Dallas Stars
Grade: B

No, this isn’t because an arena full of green-jerseyed denizens who booed incessantly during trade announcements. No, this average grade begins with the pick at 14th overall of Ty Dellandrea, whom I love as a prospect and hated knocking down in my rankings but has a low ceiling in terms of point production. They took a pair of capable Swedes with their next two picks in sniping power winger Albin Eriksson (44th) and big, two-way pivot Oskar Back (75th), and rolled the dice on 2016 re-draft Adam Mascherin (100th), who can wire the puck and create chances but has below-average speed. OHL-trained centers appeared to have been a requirement for the Stars, as they took two more in Windsor’s mammoth two-way pivot Curtis Douglas (106th) and Kitchener’s speedy, hard-shooting Riley Damiani (137th). Defenseman Dawson Barteaux (168th) has good wheels and plays a smart positional game, and overage power winger Jermaine Loewen (199th) had a breakout season scoring goals for Kamloops in the WHL.

CBS Sports:
Dallas Stars: C+
There added some intriguing pieces after the first round, particularly in the form of winger Albin Eriksson and massive fourth-round center Curtis Douglas. But that first round, when they reached for Ty Dellandrea, could have been much better.

Chris Peters, ESPN
Grade: B

"After reaching a little for the highly skilled Dellandrea, I thought Dallas had a really interesting Day 2. Albin Eriksson was gaining popularity in scouting circles late in the season. He is still pretty raw, but he's also huge and he can score. Oskar Back plays an NHL-style game already, and scooping up re-entry Adam Mascherin at No. 100 is a nice dose of skill to the system. ... I think the Stars had a strong showing at their home draft."

Cody Benjamin, CBS Sports
Grade: C+

"There added some intriguing pieces after the first round, particularly in the form of winger Albin Eriksson and massive fourth-round center Curtis Douglas. But that first round, when they reached for Ty Dellandrea, could have been much better."


Corey Pronman, The Athletic
Grade: B-

"Dellandrea was high for me at No. 13, though I do like him a lot and, if he's the guy I saw towards the last month or so of the season going forward, that could be a fine pick. On Day 2, Dallas did well. There's no pick I loved, but nearly every pick they made is a player I'd have interest in -- particularly their first three picks. Dawson Barteaux is a player I considered for my draft board but cut late. I don't see a high-end talent here, Albin Eriksson has a chance to be that, but they got a lot of good players."

Steve Kournianos, Sporting News
Grade: B** (first round), B (overall)

"Dallas went way off the board to take a gritty, two-way center who has all the intangibles and also can fill the net. Skating is deceptive and improved over season but remains slightly above average. Could be a future captain but the Stars left a lot of skill and speed on the table."

"No, this isn't because an arena full of green-jerseyed denizens who booed incessantly during trade announcements. No, this average grade begins with the pick at 14th overall of Ty Dellandrea, whom I love as a prospect and hated knocking down in my rankings but may have a low ceiling in terms of point production.

Defenseman Dawson Barteaux (168th) has good wheels and plays a smart positional game, and overage power winger Jermaine Loewen (199th) had a breakout season scoring goals for Kamloops in the WHL."

Steve Silverman, Bleacher Report
Grade: B+**

"Dellandrea has played with a huge effort on an every-night basis and has stood out in the Top Prospects Game."

Ben Kerr, Last Word on Hockey
Grade: B-

"Dellandrea was a bit of a reach as there were more talented centres on the board. While Dellandrea may not become a franchise centre, he could be a top-six centre with a good defensive game. Eriksson is a big winger who skates well for his size. He has a good wrist shot. Back has the vision and passing skills to put the puck through tight areas and create scoring chances. He also has a good wrist shot but doesn't use it enough. Mascherin is a pure sniper. His shot is very heavy, but it is his release that really fools goaltenders and leads to the puck finding the back of the net.

"Douglas is a huge forward with a good wrist shot, but skating could hold him back. Damiani is the polar opposite of Douglas, an undersized forward who skates well and is a strong stick-handler but needs work on his shot. Barteaux is a great skater, which he uses to his advantage in the defensive end of the ice. His offensive game still needs to develop. Loewen is the first-ever draftee born in Jamaica. He is a big forward who went undrafted last year. He is strong on the forecheck."

Jeremy Lambert, Fansided
Grade: C

"Ty Dellandrea was ranked 25th among North American skaters by Central Scouting. Best case scenario, he was a late first round where people say, "It's not a great pick, but they were a playoff team so we'll trust them." Instead, Dallas took him in the lottery. Look, I didn't grade this draft for Dallas. The fans of Dallas graded this draft for me. They had Mike Modano and Jamie Benn up their doing a comedy routine, the crowd was into it, they were waiting for the next great Dallas superstar to be selected. And then Benn announced Ty Dellandrea. The crowd was so silent, Gary Bettman had to quickly walk on stage to make sure they were still alive. Maybe Dellandrea is the next Modano. I like to give teams the benefit of the doubt because they get paid a lot of money to scout these kids and I don't. But if you're taking someone who is a consensus second round pick in the lottery, he better be the next Modano. Otherwise, heads will roll. I never understand teams reaching this much on players. Just move back. If this pick happens at 25, it's easier to defend and Dallas gets an extra draft pick or two.

"While I didn't love what the Stars did in the first round, everything else was good. Albin Eriksson is a big young forward with great puck handling skills. Back is a playmaking center who could develop into a second line talent if all goes well. The Stars typically stay in North America with their picks, but both Swedish forwards project to be future NHL regulars. They went with Canadians the rest of the draft, except for their last pick, when they selected Jamaican born Jermaine Loewen. Bonus points for that.

"I hated what Dallas did in the first round, but they made up ground on Day 2 to turn this into an average draft."

Dallas Stars' draft history back to 2010 in a nutshell. Sturm was going over it last Thursday or Friday. They've absolutely face-planted with 1st round picks since 2010 but found some great players like Benn and Klingberg in Round 5. How do you not trade back in that situation and a pick or two?

I dunno, man. Heiskanen looks like the real deal.

“Nailing” the third overall pick in the draft is not enough to overcome missing on 5 other years of rounds 1-7. Not to mention the top 10 of last years drafted looks loaded with studs so I’m glad Nill managed to finally draft one of them. 

 2015 is a 5 alarm fire of a draft. Brazal slips to dallas and we draft some dude ranked in the 30’s with that pick. Seemed very similar to our strategy this season. Gurianav was getting DNP in the AHL playoffs this year and 4th line minutes when he made it in the lineup. 

 

I know i’m selling the 16 & 17 drafts short time wise but it’s prove it time for Nill. We’ve had a bunch of spare ass dude’s on the end of the NHL roster the last two seasons that should be getting pushed by our young prospects and it’s not happening.

Josh Borogard to pxp and Razor back to color. Should be a big improvement over Ludwig. 

I'm not a big fan of Bogorad. I hope this is Razor's decision to slide back over to color because he needs to be on the broadcast somewhere. Can't risk losing him.

This did not please me. I am willing to wait and see though.

It won't be long until it's time. 

I don't dislike Josh B. It doesn't thrill me either. I hope Luddy is back in the studio. It's Sevy flying solo at the moment. Who gets the call up?
