wasn't enough to push Dallas past St. Louis in double overtime

From ESPN puck personality John Buccigross to former Stars netminder Marty Turco, here is a collection of the best tweets from the night:

I would have said it even if they had lost...

...but we just witnessed an absolute classic.

The utmost respect for Ben Bishop and #GoStars.

That was a heavyweight bout.

It's the kind of series the #STLBlues would have lost in the past.

But, I want to emphasize "in the past."

What a Series. What a battle. Stinks to end on the wrong side, and tough to process, but gotta tip my cap to the #Blues, but I’m SO proud of the #Stars. Pushing it this far in the postseason. What an incredible performance by BIG BEN BISHOP!! 💚 #DALvsSTL #StanleyCup #GoStars

Poor Bishop. What an unlucky goal to ruin a great individual performance

Honestly would’ve sucked to see either of these teams eliminated. Both great stories. What a series! Ben Bishop legendary in that game. Congrats to Stars on a great season !

Bish made some NHL postseason history, too.

Ben Bishop of the @DallasStars is the fifth goaltender to make 50+ saves in a #Game7 since 1955-56.

The most in that span is 73, a mark set by Kelly Hrudey in the 1987 Division Semifinals dubbed the “Easter Epic” (w/ NYI). #NHLStats #StanleyCup pic.twitter.com/JGrh33Fkeg

Of course, the official Stars Twitter account showed its appreciation for Big Ben.

Bish is playing his heart out tonight. #GoStars pic.twitter.com/lyzkkN9Qfy

The Stars didn't advance in the end, but it was a hard-fought series from both sides -- and a performance for the ages by the Dallas netminder.

Both teams left it all out there tonight and much respect to the @StLouisBlues for a hard-fought series. pic.twitter.com/qqRSAt9eP4
