The Dallas Stars are no strangers to topical humor, and they're at it again.
This time, the NHL's most creative game operations crew poked fun at U.S. President Donald Trump, who claimed 1.5 million people attended his inauguration ceremony, despite a multitude of photographic and video evidence that backed up a much more modest estimate of about 250,000 people at the event in Washington, D.C., on Friday.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer falsely claimed Saturday that the event was observed by "the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period."
Dallas' crew once played nothing but Nickelback for an entire period with the Vancouver Canucks in town, took aim at Toronto Maple Leafs fans with Justin Bieber jokes, and mercilessly mocked the city of Winnipeg.
The Stars weren't the only ones in the sports world to make fun of the new administration. Los Angeles Clippers head coach Doc Rivers got in on it, too.

Laughter is the best medicine, after all.
