The Dallas Stars are pretty good at winning. They’ve even gotten good at winning games in which they didn’t play as well as their opponents. That’s one reason why it’s so frustrating to see the Stars’ vices become their manners…especially when they drop games that were in their reach.
What does it mean for the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs? Wes and Mark needed backup for this one, so they invited DBD alumnus Robert Tiffin – who’s now kind of everywhere, thanks to D Magazine and his own Stars Thoughts Substack. And they talk about everything — from odd-yet-effective set plays to messy zone exits, and from whether Jake Oettinger can really backstop the Stars to a Cup to how much it may (or may not) help when the team’s injured stars are back from injuries.
Now that they’re in the playoffs, maybe they just want to stay healthy and blow everything up in the first round. We’re Stargazing, and we think about this stuff all. the. time. And we’re only half-joking when we say that this episode is presented by StarsThoughts.com.
