The Stars' video board usage during games has drawn attention before. They have made jabs at Toronto fans with Justin Bieber images and also made fun of cold living in Minnesota and Winnipeg. So with the Washington Capitals in town, they decided to make fun of Washington, D.C.

Dallas posted "Tonight's attendance: 1.5 million" on the big screen, a jab at the controversial estimates of attendance at the inauguration of President Donald Trump. While the move generated plenty of publicity, it also drew some criticism from fans.

While many media outlets have sought comment, the Stars have declined, saying they will allow the video board to speak for itself.
