From Olympic medalists, to Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks and local radio voices — the D-FW area appears fully behind the Dallas Stars in their run to the Stanley Cup Final.
This week, FOX Sports Southwest gathered local athletes, legends, and members of the sports media to record encouraging messages for the Stars ahead of Game 1. Dallas defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-1, taking a 1-0 lead in the series.
Nastia Liukin, five-time Olympic medalist in gymnastics and a graduate of Spring Creek Academy in Plano, had this to say:
“First of all, congratulations. As a very loyal Dallas fan I am so excited to be cheering you on to the Stanley Cup Final. We are sending all of our positive vibes your way and wishing you the very best of luck.
“You have made Dallas so proud, now bring home the cup.”
“I just wanted to say congratulations on being Western Conference champs,” Mavericks point guard Jalen Brunson said, “and I want to wish you the best of luck in the Stanley Cup Finals. Go Stars.”
The Texas Rangers were one of many team accounts to send well wishes to the Stars.
Rangers players Jose Trevino and Taylor Hearn, both Texas natives, were next to share words of encouragement.
“[We] just want to wish the boys good luck in the Stanley Cup. Go get it and bring it back home to Dallas,” Trevino said.
They weren’t the only members of the Rangers organization to share best wishes. Rangers PA announcer Chuck Morgan also had some kind words for the hockey club.
“Chuck Morgan here, voice of Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers.”
“On behalf of everyone with the Texas Rangers Baseball Club, congratulations to the Western Conference champion Dallas Stars on a great season and thank you for all the great memories and thrills you have given everyone in D-FW this year.
“Good luck to the Dallas Stars in the Stanley Cup Final. Four more W’s. Go get that cup.”
The Dallas Cowboys joined in on the fun with several players, including Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott and Tyron Smith taking time to say good luck.
Former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman also recorded a message for the Stars in FOX Sports Southwest’s video.
“Hey Fellas, I want to wish you the best of luck in the Stanley Cup Final,” Aikman said. “Bring the cup back where it belongs: To Dallas. Good luck, guys.”
FC Dallas, whose Twitter account actively supports the Stars, decided to create a helpful infographic for Dallas sports fans to keep track of when each team played on Saturday.
Reto Ziegler, FC Dallas defender, also had a message to share:
“Hey Dallas Stars. I wish you all the best in the final. I’m a big fan of how you play so step it up and bring the trophy back to Dallas.”
SMU head football coach Sonny Dykes had a message as well:
“Congratulations to the Dallas Stars on making the Stanley Cup Final,” Dykes said. “Everybody in Dallas will be rooting for you. Go Stars.”
