After the Dallas Cowboys made a blockbuster trade on Thursday, the Dallas Stars fired back with a hilarious Rantanen tweet, trolling their city rivals.
Former Avalanche star Mikko Rantanen gets a bold message from the Stars.
Tom Banks from House of Hockey writes that after the Dallas Mavericks traded superstar Luka Doncic last season, the city saw another shocker as the NFL's Dallas Cowboys sent one of the league's top defensive players, Micah Parsons, to the Green Bay Packers.
The departures of two of the city's biggest stars within the past six months sparked widespread ridicule on social media, with many now turning their attention to the Stars to see what moves the team will make next.
"This has led to plenty of ridicule on social media after two of the cities biggest stars have departed within the past six months, leading many to look towards the Dallas Stars to see what's next." -Banks
Stars' social media had some fun with the Cowboys' shocking Parsons trade, reassuring fans that Rantanen isn't going anywhere while playfully trolling Dallas' NFL and NBA teams with a clever tweet.
"This comes just months after the team acquired Rantanen from the Carolina Hurricanes, where he would go on to win the hearts of Stars fans everywhere by breaking the hearts of their division rival Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Playoffs." -Banks
While the Stars' humour may have offered some comic relief, the departures of two generational talents, Doncic and Parsons, leave Dallas fans with little to celebrate at the moment.
