Here's why the Stars need the veteran to show up today. If there is one player you would expect to show up during the playoffs, it is Matt Duchene.

The one thing that made me mad about game 2 was that the Stars didn't show up. Mikko Rantanen isn't going to score a hat trick every single playoff game to get the Stars the Stanley Cup. Other players must step up on offense to win the Cup this season. The Dallas Stars didn't even show up to game 2 on Friday night. Poor Jake Oettinger was ambushed from the get-go and got no offensive support from his teammates.

Former Longhorns guard Ndjakalenga Mwenentanda has gained much attention from SEC schools in the portal. The Longhorns hope she doesn't end up in the SEC.
