It's hard to find something as much of an emotional roller coaster ride as playoff hockey.For Dallas Stars and Winnipeg Jets fans, that might be the understatement of the year.Both teams went from staring the end of their seasons dead in the face to getting ready to play each other in Round 2 of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

The Dallas Stars are in familiar territory. After a hard-fought opening round series, head coach Pete DeBoer concocted another Game 7 victory against Colorado, setting the stage for Dallas to face the West’s top team, Winnipeg, in the second round.

Both teams had spectacular Game 7 comebacks while missing a star forward and top defenseman. That makes this series a tough call.
