An Original Six team versus a team in sweltering Texas? This should be a slam dunk victory for the winged wheel. However, those black Dallas Stars sweaters look good and should sell very well. If these were the days of Dave Gagner and the Minnesota North Stars, we would have ourselves an upset here. The Red Wings should advance, though. They are not only an original team, but when you see this sweater, you think pucks, octopi and Hockeytown. When you see the Stars jersey, you think of Brett Hull in the crease and a warm-weather team. Yuck.
