Stargazing, A Dallas Stars Puckcast – Episode 253: Round 1, Game 5

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!)

When The Levee Breaks – Stargazing: A Dallas Stars Puckcast | Defending Big D

The Dallas Stars picked the week before a big road trip to go on a bit of a tear, winning-wise. Four consecutive victories, three of them at home, felt like a great holiday gift that arrived just a couple of days late – at once a delight and a relief. Which means it's a great time for Wes and Mark to start rolling sports takes. In this episode, they discuss the resurgence of Jason Robertson, the frustrations of Logan Stankoven and Mavrik Bourque, and what it means to have Lian Bichsel carrying the entire defense for the Texas Stars rather than playing on the third pair in Dallas. Heads up: Matt Dumba gets his flowers in this one. That should be all the reason you need to go Stargazing with us. The whole thing is brought to you by BetOnline. Any predictions for the trip East? Tell us about it at Defending Big D. We’ll probably bring it up in a future cast. (No, really!) And hey, let us know you’re listening in the form of a like, review or share. Thanks for listening!
