Stargazing, A Dallas Stars Puckcast – Episode 255: Round 2, Game 1

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.

What has you most hyped about Round 2 – for better or otherwise? Let’s talk about it in the comments – or DM us @WesALawrence or @KETibbetts on the short app. Casters are waiting for your call. (We even have a suggestive saxophone riff, so you know we mean it.)

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

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!
