Mikko Rantanen, Jake Oettinger, and Miro Heiskanen bring Dallas Cowboys-style energy to the Dallas Stars lineup

It's not every day that hockey players get compared to football stars, but some Dallas Stars bring the same traits that Cowboys fans love on Sundays.

From grit to poise to pure game-breaking talent, a few Stars stand out as perfect cross-sport comparisons for Cowboys fans to appreciate.

Mikko Rantanen, Jake Oettinger, and Miro Heiskanen bring Dallas Cowboys vibes to the Dallas Stars lineup

Mikko Rantanen - The CeeDee Lamb of the ice

Rantanen's calm confidence and ability to take over games with his skill remind fans of CeeDee Lamb.

Both are go-to offensive weapons who deliver when the spotlight shines, and both do it without unnecessary flash. I think Rantanen's combination of size and finesse feels like what Cowboys fans love about Lamb's reliability.

Jake Oettinger - The Dak Prescott of the crease

When the game is tight, Oettinger brings a steadiness that feels like Prescott when he's in full control of a drive.

He's composed, calculated, and has the ability to calm his team when everything feels chaotic.

His clutch saves, like Prescott's late-game throws, keep the team alive. I believe Oettinger's mental strength is just as valuable as his physical talent.

Miro Heiskanen - The Micah Parsons of hockey

Heiskanen can change a game in an instant.

His smooth skating and ability to flip the pace, whether by breaking up a rush or igniting an offensive push, mirrors Parsons' impact on a football field.

Both are dynamic, versatile, and can take over a game without saying a word.

I can't wait to see if these Stars players keep bringing that Cowboys energy when the season gets tough.

Here is what the jersey could look like if they did switch around:
