In the wake of some intense playoff trash talk, the Dallas Stars delivered a ruthless blow to the Colorado Avalanche, this time not on the ice, but with a scathing social media response that left fans stunned and the rivalry burning hotter than ever.
The Stars recently had the last laugh after eliminating the Avalanche in Game 7 of Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs this past spring.
Stars humiliate Avalanche with vicious social media response.
Vince Hull from Blade of Steel writes that the Avalanche may have thought they were being clever with a haiku directed at the Stars, but Dallas' social media team fired back with the perfect response, one that quickly reminded everyone who's truly had the upper hand in this rivalry.
But the Stars weren't about to let it slide. Their response? A cold, perfectly timed jab that landed even harder, sharp, savage, and impossible to ignore.
Y'all remember when Mikko did that thing? 🌊🌊🌊
The tweet featured a striking image of Mikko Rantanen, now donning the Stars' green jersey with number 96, skating with undeniable confidence.
"The Stars have eliminated the Avalanche in three straight playoffs, and just stole their superstar. Since 2022, the Stars have bounced the Avalanche out of the playoffs three years in a row.
That includes a six-game series win in 2024, when Rantanen was still with Colorado, and a seven-game thriller in 2025, after Rantanen was traded to Dallas in a move that shocked the NHL." -Hull

With Rantanen now leading the Stars and Nathan MacKinnon still carrying the Avalanche, the rivalry has only intensified.
The Stars aren't just dominating on the ice, they're winning the battle online as well. What makes this moment sting even more for Avalanche fans is how casually Dallas dropped Rantanen's image like a mic-drop.
For Stars fans, it's just more proof that their team has firmly planted itself in the Avalanche's heads.
