Bourque’s Hat Trick Lifts Stars Past Leafs in 6-5 Thriller | Episode 7047 | April 13th, 2026

Ryan reacts to the Dallas Stars’ chaotic 6-5 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, led by Mavrik Bourque’s first NHL hat trick. After a brutal start, Dallas battled back multiple times and found a way to leave Toronto with a win in one of the strangest and most entertaining games of the year.

The episode dives into Bourque’s breakout night, Wyatt Johnston’s impact, the return of Michael Bunting and Radek Faksa, Casey DeSmith’s role in stabilizing things, and the defensive issues that nearly sank the Stars. Ryan also looks at the bigger playoff picture and why Dallas needs to start games on time if it wants to make a serious run.
