## Resource

It took 11 and nine years respectively but the Minnesota Wild and Anaheim Ducks are finally through to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Meanwhile a loaded Dallas Stars team maintained Bridesmaid status and the questions surrounding the two-time Western Conference champions are just beginning. Vic and Neil break down Thursday's two games and look ahead to three more elimination games Friday as the Sabres, Canadiens and Golden Knights can reserve their spots in the final eight.
