If you’ve ever been to a hockey game, you’ve likely seen fans throw something onto the ice. Whether it’s hats or various forms of aquatic life, the act can be fairly commonplace given the right situation.
Typically, such acts are markers of celebration among home fans. But that was not the case in the slightest for Stars fans on Tuesday night.
Facing a 2–0 series deficit against the Golden Knights in the Western Conference Final, Dallas fans entered Game 3 already frustrated after dropping the first two games of the series in overtime. Tuesday’s game provided no respite; the Stars fell behind, 3–0, in the first period, then gave up another goal in the second.
