The Dallas Stars defeated the reigning champion Vegas Golden Knights 2-1 in Game 7 of the Western Conference First Round at American Airlines Center on Sunday. The Dallas Stars will now meet the Colorado Avalanche in the second round of the NHL playoffs.
Despite the two losses during the series win, the Stars’ coach Peter DeBoer had nothing to worry about with his teams’ performance. During the post-game conference, DeBoer revealed how he is “2 or 3 Beers” down with more celebration left in him till they go face Colorado on Tuesday.
“Well, that took a while. I’ve already had two or three beers, I think,” Peter DeBoer said.

Peter DeBoer has a flawless 8-0 record in NHL playoff game 7
His flawless 8-0 record is by far the best of any coach. There are 11 bench leaders with at least five such victories, and all but DeBoer have faced loss.
The next closest unbeaten coach in Game 7s is Hall of Famer Tommy Ivan, who went 4-0 with the Detroit Red Wings in the 1940s and 1950s. A win on Sunday trebled DeBoer's total, which is amazing given the parity in today's NHL.
Fans of the San Jose Sharks and Golden Knights will never forget the 2019 second-round series. DeBoer's Sharks overcame a 3-1 series deficit to force Game 7 at SAP Center. The Golden Knights controlled the game and took a comfortable 3-0 lead late.
Then, Vegas forward Cody Eakin received a five-minute penalty for cross-checking Joe Pavelski in the final minutes, and the Sharks scored four straight power-play goals to win in overtime. The game resulted in a new NHL rule requiring referees to evaluate all significant infractions.
After all that controversy, DeBoer was appointed as the Golden Knights' coach less than a year later. He was behind the Vegas bench for two Game 7s in three seasons: a hard-fought 3-0 victory against the Vancouver Canucks in the 2020 playoffs in Edmonton and a 6-2 thrashing of the Minnesota Wild in 2021. On Sunday he was again back on the opposite bench, facing Vegas for the fourth time in the postseason.
