The Dallas Stars are absolutely livid after losing star forward Roope Hintz to injury, and are now making direct threats to the Oilers in response.
Darnell Nurse delivered a hard slash to the foot of Roope Hintz, which knocked the star forward out of the game. He's currently questionable to travel to Edmonton, and unlikely to play Game 3.
Dallas Stars players make a clear threat to Edmonton Oilers for Roope Hintz injury
Speaking to the media, multiple Stars forwards didn't shy away from speaking their plans for getting payback. Mason Marchment said they still have plenty of time to hunt Nurse on the ice.
A lot of that stuff, you just keep in the back of your mind, and if the opportunity presents itself then, you take your chance. We've got a long series here.

Jamie Benn took it a step further, even insinuating that he may target Oilers captain Connor McDavid - saying he'd like to see him walk down the tunnel.
With the players so directly planning on exacting revenge against Nurse, and even planning to target McDavid, Game 3 in Edmonton should be an electric affair between these two teams. It's shocking to see their players admit it so publicly.
The NHL Player Safety Department decided not to issue any supplemental discipline to Nurse. If Hintz really is injured and can't play in Game 3 - it may be a tough decision from the NHL.
Nurse took some crosscheck himself before really coming down on Hintz's foot, and then stood over him like he owned him.
Now a best of 5 series, Game 3 in Edmonton will be one of the best games of the NHL season so far. Get ready for a fiery game, Oilers fans!
