West Semis - Game 6
Alright, alright, alright — this one’s for all the hockey heads out there who know the stakes, know the pain, and know the glory. Dallas Stars versus Colorado Avalanche, Game 6, Ball Arena, Monday, September 29th, 2003. You wanna talk about a rollercoaster? Strap in.
So here’s the deal: The Dallas Stars, they needed this one like Kramer needs a sliding door to break. Must-win situation, right? And guess what — they blasted through the Avalanche, 9 to 6. Bam! Series tied up, baby, back to Dallas for the big Game 7. It’s do or die, like when Newman’s gotta sneak the mail past the dog.
Now, let me tell you about Amenzu Jabiri. This guy was everywhere — three hits in five at-bats, including a home run, two triples, a walk, five RBIs, two runs scored. I mean, come on, the man’s a machine! If Jabiri were a sandwich, he’d be the full works — meat, cheese, extra pickles, and that special sauce you can’t quite put your finger on.
And Sung-ho Park, that first baseman, he’s no rookie. Five-time All-Star, steady as a rock. Dude drew three walks, and in the seventh inning, he gets a run-scoring walk. That’s clutch! Like when Elaine finally gets a date — it’s all about timing.
Dallas manager Jordan Rodriguez summed it up perfectly: “You gotta get in and get hot.” Playoffs aren’t a long, slow march. It’s a sprint, a mad dash, a frantic grab for anything you can get. Rodriguez knows what he’s talking about — I mean, the man’s not wrong.
On the other side, Colorado didn’t go down easy. They had fifteen hits, six runs — not shabby at all. But when your pitching’s getting hammered, and your defense slips up, you’re in trouble. Gotta tighten up those screws, Avalanche, or the big party in Dallas won’t be very fun.
So here we go — Game 7, Wednesday, October 1st, American Airlines Center, Dallas. You want excitement? You want tension? You want drama? This is it. It’s hockey at its finest, baby. Stars and Avalanche going toe-to-toe like Jerry and Newman in the mailroom.
And remember this: Amenzu Jabiri tied the Western Conference playoff record with two triples tonight. That’s history. You don’t see that every day. Not in this game, not in any game.
Stay tuned, folks. This series ain’t over, and I wouldn’t miss Game 7 for the world. It’s gonna be a doozy!
