Who doesn’t love a spicy little sports crossover, right? The Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers are back at it again, reigniting that Western Conference Final magic at American Airlines Center. Game 1’s about to go down this Wednesday night (8 p.m. ET), and if last year was any clue, it’s gonna be a total heart-racer. Flashback moment: Edmonton jumped out with a 2-0 lead, Dallas clawed it back 2-2, then boom, McDavid gets a double minor just seconds into OT. Jason Robertson rattled two posts on the power play, Oettinger came up huge, but McDavid? He snatched the spotlight with a dagger 32 seconds into double OT. Cold. As. Ice.

Fast forward, and the Dallas Stars fought back to lead the series 2-1, but the Oilers turned on the jets and took the next three to seal it in six. History says a Game 1 win means a 68.1% shot at the whole thing, and guess what? Edmonton’s already up 3-1 in this round. Oh, and the crossover vibes? Absolute chef’s kiss. PGA Championship winner Scottie Scheffler showed up in the crowd, just casually soaking in playoff chaos and that Stars vs. Oilers madness like the rest of us hockey-loving dreamers.

NHL decided to bless our feeds with a lil crossover magic on X, dropping a snap of none other than Scottie Scheffler casually swapping greens for ice. Yep, the golf king himself pulled up to Dallas Stars’ Game 1 of the Western Conference Final like it was just another championship Sunday stroll. And the caption? Straight vibes: “From the fairways to the hockey rink. Fresh off his win at the @PGAChampionship, Scottie Scheffler is taking in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final! #StanleyCup.” Now that’s how you serve post-victory energy. Fresh off crushing the PGA Championship, Scottie didn’t just ride the high; he skated right into it, soaking in every slapshot and chill breeze like he belonged there.

And well, Scottie Scheffler’s cooking up a legendary tale on the greens again! The dude just casually walked away with the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, sealing his third major like it’s just another day at the office. Even after Jon Rahm snatched that comfy three-shot cushion mid-round, Scottie wasn’t shook as he just flipped the script with some birdie magic on the back nine and strolled to an 11-under finish. Meanwhile, Rahm hit reverse. Yikes.

This win slides Scheffler into rarefied air; hello, Tiger and Jack! He joined those GOATs with three majors and 15 PGA Tour wins before the age of 29. That celebration? Oh, it hit right in the feels. Hat spike, big ol’ kisses for wife Meredith, a bear hug for baby Bennett, and a wave of pure emotion from a guy who’s been through it. And yeah, at this rate, a career Grand Slam doesn’t seem like a maybe; it’s looking like a when. Just ask Rory, who finally checked that box at Augusta this spring. But coming back to the NHL game? Let’s just say, the Dallas Stars continue to shine!

Dallas Stars dominate once again

Well, things got wild in Dallas! The Dallas Stars were down two goals but came roaring back in true Lone Star style, slapping five, yes, five, goals in the third, like it was a late-night Texas barbecue. And three of ‘em? Straight-up power-play poetry. Tyler Seguin was on fire, cashing in two goals and tossing in an assist for good measure, while Miro Heiskanen and Mikael Granlund jumped in on the action with a goal and assist apiece. Jake Oettinger? Cool as ever, swatting away 24 shots like flies at a summer cookout.

The Oilers weren’t silent, though. Leon Draisaitl dished out a goal and two assists, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins dropped one in with a helper too, and Connor McDavid, as usual, was sliding around setting plays with two slick assists. But that third period? That was Dallas turning the volume all the way up. Heiskanen kicked it off just 32 seconds in, Granlund tied it, and then Matt Duchene’s goal off Nugent-Hopkins’ skate sent the building into orbit. From there, Seguin deflected another in, and Lindell sealed it with an empty-net dagger. Final? 6-3. Dallas Stars take Game 1.

And oh, this game had star power in the stands, too. While Scottie Scheffler was out there after securing PGA glory, someone else rolled into the rink. As NHL posted, “World Endurance Championship (@FIAWEC) racing driver, @SchumacherMick, is cheering on the @DallasStars in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final! #StanleyCup.” Racing vibes meet rinkside chaos? Now that’s a crossover episode we didn’t know we needed. Dallas Stars’ Game 2? Yeah, it’s about to be spicy.
