Dallas Stars Daily Links: The Morning After
Sigh...
I’m at a loss for words. So I’m just going to let the Dallas Stars do it for me.
Ben Bishop: "When you don't have a chance to wake up tomorrow and practice or think about where you are going to play next, it's sombering."

John Klingberg: "“I’m pretty empty right now."
Tyler Seguin: "Pretty empty."
Here’s the captain, Jamie Benn:

Around the League
The Edmonton Oilers officially introduced Ken Holland as their new General Manager yesterday:

Now where have I heard this before...?
Not surprisingly, the Oilers will replace Ken Hitchcock as head coach. Decent possibility Hitchcock stays on as an advisor.

With Bishop now out of the playoffs, Tuuka Rask is probably the best goaltender left standing:
It hasn't always been easy for Tuukka Rask, but the Bruins goaltender has always stepped up when it matters most. He's proving that again this post-season, writes @THNJaredClintonhttps://t.co/mYaV4yZGuN

Speaking of which, the Boston Bruins will be without defenseman Charlie McAvoy for Game 1 against the Carolina Hurricanes:

That game will take place tomorrow, which will kickstart the Conference Finals. But first, the San Jose Sharks and Colorado Avalanche will wrap up the second round tonight:
San Jose already has a Game 7 under their belt this season. Do they have the edge against Colorado on Wednesday? https://t.co/YUHTxTEHVg

Finally...
We were all Mrs. Bishop last night:
She's gotta be proud of the performance her son is putting on tonight. Hang in there, Mrs. Bishop. #GoStars pic.twitter.com/AljFJUB0A6
