[@spam_musubi]

Texas stars are the minor league team btw

[@SAbercrombie610]

Was looking for this haha

[@user-zt1ym7zc7p]

Yes. Maybe look further into it.

[@blarg539]

It’s ESPN and this show is a bunch of stoners. They wouldn’t know attention to detail if their lives depended on it.

[@mr.brenman2132]

​@@blarg539Better then the normal espn talk shows.

[@goalscorerlajon]

They're the AHL affiliate of the Dallas Stars BTW.

[@alexferguson4218]

The thumbnail being "Texas Stars" is hilarious. You would think someone who works for ESPN would know sports

[@kevinbryant2317]

ESPN barely recognizes the Dallas Stars. Effing PK Subban was already talking about a Miami-Edmonton finals before the Western Conference Finals had even started

[@theburritoninj4]

Pretty on-par for ESPN actually

[@Stacey_-bf2mb]

@@kevinbryant2317real quick who’s Miami?

[@gespinoza251]

Miss him on the sharks🥲

[@nathansimpson5721]

Thank you - Blues fan

[@kyledavidson2867]

as a flames fan I do not

[@BazookaTooth707]

It's still tough to see him elsewhere.

[@JoeyVatavuk]

The LT San Diego Chargers of the NHL. such a cool team that couldn’t get it done.

[@jamesbowen2088]

Pavelski's such a wholesome dude, really hope he gets one this year. Bring it home Stars!

[@johanstinson]

He ain't gettjng nuttin!!!! My Oilers sent this scumbag into retirement with no ring

[@jakegro7825]

So cool to see someone from my town be so successful in the big leagues! Central WI represent!

[@soulknife20]

Met Pavelski randomly in Madison, WI one time.

[@erickbolden2584]

Hope you didn't get hit by those storms yesterday they looked bad up there.

[@jakegro7825]

@erickbolden2584 we got good and drenched, but luckily the worst of it missed here

[@andrewchittenden]

I was in absolute awe watching this dude put up 4 in playoff hockey on my kraken 😞

[@MrBayAreaRealEstate]

Never will forgive Doug Wilson for letting Pavs walk, after a 38 goal season, captain of the Sharks, led us to WCF. He literally cracked his head on the ice that infamous Game 7 against Vegas. Was at that game, it was a surreal moment witnessing that comeback. Pavelski should have been a Sharks for his entire career. Many in San Jose are hoping he wins the cup this year, finally. No one in the NHL currently deserves it more.

[@QuikSilver2190]

As a Stars fan, I hope Joe "retires" as a Star, but I'd love to see the Sharks offer to bring him back for a one-day contract and let him officially retire as a Shark. Dude deserves to also have his number retired by both teams.

[@R2d2US]

@@QuikSilver2190 I'm a big stars fan, but I would completely understand and be okay with him retiring a Shark. I know how much he meant to San Jose fans and I'd like to see him finally get his cup this year.

[@campbellzachc]

Nah, you guys needed to move on to a new chapter. There was a lot of sales going on in SJ

[@ryanhunt7052]

100% agree! DW's greatest blunder as SJ's GM

[@UrmomSwallow69]

Sorry oilers are winning this year bud

[@derekhughes7201]

Let's Go Stars!!!! Bring it home Pavs ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@josephtylerdc9830]

Pat is such a bro.. he does the best interviews. Appreciate this whole team. You guys rock. So glad you had Pavs on too. LFG STARS !!!!! 😤

[@HMuny55]

Pavs we need you in the Edmonton series broski

[@erickbolden2584]

Co-Owner of my hometown Janesville Jets! Proud Wisconsinite. Get him one, Dallas!

[@jkatz1303]

Big shoutout to Young Arena AKA Party Town! Best home ice in the USHL. Waterloo legend Joey Pavs ‘04 champ! Hopefully he’ll make it back to Waterloo with the cup once his career is finished

[@jackcall3815]

Bring it home for Pavs!!!

[@michaelmacintyre6996]

Memories of Carboneau, Keane, Gainey and Skrudland winning Lord Stanley with Dallas. It felt like Montreal also won that year!!

[@crazyralph6386]

He doesn’t get enough credit for taking in Wyatt Johnston and mentoring him to be the superstar he will be one day.

[@cody_tyra]

The love the pat mac show is giving hockey is so damn great it’s my go to right now

[@halovsmario]

Why does the thumbnail say Texas stars? That’s the AHL team

[@georgekirby5490]

Joe Pavelski is not the captain of an AHL team...

[@kodaherrera5235]

He was Patrick marleau give him C for Joe Pavelski and the not ahl that nhl ahl barracuda

[@jerrychacko2661]

He really looks like Jensen Ackles y’all 😂

[@sammybowker7823]

LET'S FUCKIN GO STARS!!!!! seriously loved this interview. Dallas gets memed on a lot obviously because of the Cowboys (and rightfully so) but GODDAMN the Stars are a fuckin wagon filled with DAWGS and have been so fuckin fun to watch all season.

[@markchavesjr555]

He will always be a Shark to me 🙏🏼

[@bckelly23]

Damn they sent Pavs down to the AHL?

[@brendanlynch9694]

i love how they talk about actual hockey for about 8 minutes of this interview

[@johanstinson]

No place like it he says about the Stars building😂😂😂😂 Bro, cmon now.

[@user-gc9uy3gq5o]

Thank you for covering hockey

[@BoboMcBooboy]

While I agree it's nice they talk hockey. Calling them "the Texas stars" isn't the way to do it 🤦

[@jjwiggs28]

Great freakin interview. Go Stars 🌟

[@jorgearizaga6787]

As a 🦈 fan, hope you win it, and come home to thw Tank!!!

[@jenestu715]

Trapper Joe! Let's go Pavs!

[@user-qg2rx9wb5p]

Did not know Joe P is on an AHL team!! At that age

[@OverlyolOptomisticCanadian]

Canada is the greatest hockey country on earth lets be real here

[@dansnyder9102]

Stars win tonight and take the series in 6. Pavs class act! LFG

[@SelkeSm00thv2]

What a fuckin beauty

[@josecano2666]

Still my captain

[@shrekdaddy6912]

My golf handicap is wheelchair

[@NDTexan]

The best was the post-game interviews after they put away the avalanche. Rest of the team and the coach were all very calm and not terribly incensed about that bad no goal call in the first OT. Pavs gave less than zero sharts. Straight up said it was bogus LOL

[@former2u]

its always cute to hear Americans talk about hockey

[@michaelisbell3094]

Love gritty smokin joe

[@jesterboykins2899]

Dallas!✊🏻 Stars!✊🏻

[@justinc2352]

The real Joe Pa

[@samuelfaria8522]

Hockey players are the only toothless millionaires on planet earth.

[@KyleSmith-hg4me]

Joe!!

[@kirthooper4625]

Texas Stars? Wtf. Well they changed it about 2 secs after my post so good on them

[@axkirby]

Want more hockey questions

[@hockeypath]

It’s far from America’s game lol. Go into any bar in Canada any night of hockey season and compare that with bars in USA. Doesn’t even compare.

[@whocarss2984]

Unreal interview

[@CodyFisher-ly2cq]

Sharks fans miss you

[@SaskStarsFan]

Love the Show.... but GET THE TEAM RIGHT!!! NOT HARD

[@kvltntr00]

damn when did Pavelski get demoted to the AHL???

[@cdlroho75]

I came to say Texas stars???!?! But it’s been corrected

[@sigsaucer2582]

Lol your title

[@Black4Cook]

Wasn't there for the past 64 years and won't be there this year. Let's go Switzerland 🇨🇭 🇨🇭

Win the chip this year Pavs...then come home and finish your career in teal.

[@jesterboykins2899]

Seriously? Texas Stars? wtf Pat?

[@coolbreeze2.0-mortemadfasc13]

Fix the thumbnail.

[@jq8913]

Im just here to be inspired by the bots

[@jestexgarcia3601]

Oilers are taking the Cup at this rate. And im soo pissed. Cause McDavid is a diver and refs favor oilers.

[@benmecha01]

Pat wants to be a Hockey player badly

[@mkultra5752]

Too bad he too much of a 🤡

[@tripsaplenty1227]

There is only one Captain America and his name is Mike Eruzione

[@alexmercer674]

Is that a fair statement of calling him captain america

[@hoochiemantwinkletoes]

I mean he was captain of the Sharks which is where the nickname started

[@TrojansOwl1]

Texas Stars??? Lmao these people pretend to know hockey

[@mkultra5752]

They jokes

[@mkultra5752]

They are jokes

[@Puckluck09]

He’s ok oilers gonna shut em down though nice try boyzzzz 😝

[@jacoblamb3535]

19:00 BS pat. If you took athletes from all sports and measured performance doing all the other sports hockey players would score highest.

[@lakelinpherigo1901]

patt if you get a suite, you should random ol' me come in.

[@sierravortec2494]

Let’s go Oilers!

[@mkultra5752]

Hockey americas game ? Thats a joke statement..most of the players are canadian..and we havent won gold at the Olympics or worlds for years..way to keep up the ignorant american stereotypes.. we dominate at boring baseball and basketball thats true

[@Black4Cook]

USA was unable to win the hockey word cup since 1960 but call themself the best in the world?

[@mr.brenman2132]

The U.S. won the World Cup of Hockey in 96' so I don't know what you're talking about.

[@Black4Cook]

@@mr.brenman2132 1996 won the Czech Republic.... USA won 1933 and 1960

[@mr.brenman2132]

@@Black4Cook Wrong again. The Czech Republic won the 98' Olympics. The U.S. won the 96' World Cup.

[@Black4Cook]

@@mr.brenman2132 you refer to the world cup of hockey, which is not the official world cup. The official word cup is called Ice Hockey World Championships (IIHF) and Czech Republic beat the US in the semi-finals. The tournament the US won was organized by the NHL and took place with only 8 teams. This tournament was an additional tournament after the official world championship (official tournament is in mai every year and this world cup of hockey was in August after the official tournament) I think the name is stupid beacuse it is called world cup but it isnt a real world cup because it was a Europe vs America tournament.

[@mr.brenman2132]

@@Black4Cook Wrong again. The World Cup of Hockey is different then the World Championships. The World Cup of hockey is held in higher esteem then the World Championships. The 96' World Cup had all of the best teams in the world. The tournament final was best 2 out of 3 where the U.S. beat Canada in 3 games.

[@YZER19]

these people have no clue about sports.....

[@Chef_Deth]

Nahhh…In Detroit he ain’t

[@a.r.1420]

Nope. That would be #19 for the Florida Panthers.

[@soulknife20]

I want Pavs to win a cup. But I don't want anything good for Jamie Benn or Matt Duchene. So. I'm torn

[@christopherfrederick9235]

No he’s not it always has been and always will be Patrick Kane

[@EPiche09]

0 world championship golds, 0 Olympic golds, thanks captain America......
