Stargazing, A Dallas Stars Puckcast – Episode 81: Big Win Or Dead-Cat Bounce?

Is the Stars’ return to high-event hockey a trend or an aberration? Taylor joins Wes and Tyler to examine the case.

On Tuesday night, the Dallas Stars made an exhilarating return to high-event hockey – but only after 39 exasperating minutes of plodding system service. Is this new look a trend or an aberration? Taylor joins Wes and Tyler to examine the case.

On the menu:

  • What stood out most in this stark before-and-after picture?
  • Is the team simply regressing to the mean after a long and arid streak of terrible puck luck?
  • Does this mean more from scoring lines that don’t have Roope Hintz on them?
  • And are we seeing the system Jim Montgomery has said he’s always wanted click into place?/

What will you look for when the Stars’ Central Division schedule finally gets rolling? Discuss.
