The Dallas Stars are coming home to a best-of-three series after another overtime in Minnesota – this one ending in a loss. What’s next?

In this episode of Stargazing, Wes and Mark discuss everything from the Nils Lundkvist’s injury to Thomas Harley’s impact, and from the performance of the top line to Michael Bunting’s possible fit into the lineup.

Who needs to go off if the Stars want to close the deal? We’re Stargazing, and we have our ideas.

Welcome to Stargazing. We love you.

Well, the Dallas Stars exited the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs sooner than anyone wanted. It's going to be a long summer for all of us. What now? In this episode of Stargazing, Wes and Mark examined the takeaways from the Stars' all-too-short run. And along with the obvious issues (injuries, penalties, name it), they found some surprisingly positive evidence for the future (and you may or may not be surprised at how much of it probably ties into the promotion of Neil Graham). So are you rooting for the asteroid, or the giant truck? We're Stargazing, and we're keeping our options open. Bonus question: What will you look for in the next NHL Draft? Let's talk about it at Defending Big D. And please give us a rate, review, or share wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to Stargazing. We love you. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
