The series continues, and you know the drill. Wes and Mark make sense of how the Stars snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

The one period of Game 1 in which the Dallas Stars should have expected more goals than the Colorado Avalanche was overtime – i.e., the period in which they ultimately lost the match. It’s just one of the infuriating twists that the postseason will throw at you, if you get that far.

Settle down – this isn’t a doomcast. But Wes and Mark do have some thoughts about line matchups, the important role of chaos, and whether the Stars should try to make the Avs’ top line play every third shift and clean up on all the others.

Maybe it’s time for Mason Marchment to come back. It’s definitely time for Stargazing After Dark. And it’s brought to you by BetOnline.

And if you throw us a rate, review or share, we’ll clap like Nugget the Circus Seal. Thanks in advance.

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!
