Brandon and Erin welcome Bruce LeVine from 1310 The Ticket's Stars Postgame Show to talk about the team's march towards the playoffs, what to do about Adam Pardy, is Kari the greatest goaltender in the world, and will Gully get some Coach of the Year consideration?

Bruce brings up Pavel Bure's hit on Shane Churla during the podcast. For those who don't remember, or who don't know who Churla is (shame on you!), the video is embedded after the jump.

This time on Stargazing Brandon, Erin and Brad talk about the trade deadline inactivity that was, analyzing what could have been done but (thankfully wasn't) and what Joe Nieuwendyk and Tom Gaglardi's plans for the future could be as their relationship starts. We talk about the current streak (we recorded just before the Vancouver game) and why that darn Nick Grossman didn't tell us his name is Nick Grossmann.

A big week for us here at Defending Big D, as the legendary Ralph Strangis joined us on our podcast. Ralph was kind enough to spend a significant amount of time with us on the show, discussing all things from his start in broadcasting to what it was like going through the sale process of the Dallas Stars.

For many of us, Ralph Strangis is a major reason we love this sport and this team and we once again thank him for giving us this opportunity. Please visit RalphStrangis.com for more information on a world class broadcaster.

We took a few weeks off from the puckcast for the holidays, but we did take the time to talk to a very special guest late last week for the show! Alex Goligoski was gracious enough to join us for a lengthy talk after the disappointing loss to the Blue Jackets - discussing the team's defensive approach, how he felt when he learned he was headed to Dallas, his role with the team this season and much, much more.

We'd like to thank him for coming on to our show and we hope to have him on later this season, as he was certainly a great interview and very forthcoming.
