The Stars will enter Game 6 in control of the series. Is this everything we hope it is? Wes and Mark discuss it…After Dark.

The Dallas Stars have staged a pretty amazing Round 1 comeback – and they have not one, but two opportunities to finish the job in the next few days. It hasn’t always been pretty, and pretty hasn’t always meant victory…but is this team for real? Really, really real?

Wes and Mark are Stars fans, so they’re always looking over their shoulders. But even they see the green shoots here. In this cast, they discuss:

  • the new team the Stars are becoming before our eyes,
  • Wyatt Johnston as a period-full-stop member of Dallas’ core,
  • the one (1) time plus-minus is actually a useful stat,
  • and whether Logan Stankoven is about 40 NHL games away from scoring every time he gets the puck on his stick.

When was the last time you heard that Jason Robertson is playoff-soft? We can’t remember, either. Join us for Stargazing…After Dark. It’s brought to you by BetOnline.

What’s on your mind, Stars-wise? Let’s talk about it in the comments – or DM us @WesALawrence or @KETibbetts on the short app. Casters are waiting for your call.

And please throw us a rate, review or share. It’s actually pretty sad how much we live for it.

(By the way, we do experience the occasional time-shifting anomaly. Let it be known that we recorded before this news broke. Listen to Stargazing, learn the future!)

The Dallas Stars keep finding ways to win over the Colorado Avalanche. How long until the Avs find a countermove? We've all been thinking it, because we're Stars fans, and we can't have nice things. Wes Lawrence and Mark Zimmerman actually sat down to talk about it. In this edition, they go in-depth into what the Stars are doing right, the likelihood that the Avalanche will figure them out, the possible impact of injuries, and how the Victory Green Gang can definitively make the story their own. If you've been keeping up with these guys, you may have noticed that their predictions tend to come true. Listen to Stargazing After Dark…and learn the future! It's all part of the service we provide…thanks to BetOnline. Will the Stars close the deal tonight? Let's talk about it at Defending Big D – or DM us your questions and concerns @WesALawrence or @KETibbetts on the short app. And hey, throw us a rate, review or share and keep those prognostications coming. It won't work unless you do it!
