Someone Else's Girlfriend: An Awful Metaphor for Being a Houston NHL Fan.

You clicked on this? With that thumbnail? Might as well watch the whole episode, then.

It's an awful metaphor, admittedly - but is being a Dallas Stars fan as a Houstonian like seeing someone else's girlfriend? In this episode of Mission Control: Houston’s Hockey Podcast, Matt talks about borrowing a team that’s not quite yours. He shares his recent trip to Dallas, addresses Houston-haters in the Stars subreddit, and discusses the Houston-Dallas rivalry. Along the way, we hear from a WHA legend, celebrate Houston’s hockey community, and invite you to join our NHL playoff bracket challenge. It’s part reflection, part rant, and 100% Houston NHL fandom.
