Wes and Mark work After Dark on the Dallas Stars’ days off. Get ready for our 80-percent homer takes.

Whether you think the Dallas Stars have already lost this series, or already won it…you’re right. Last night’s narrow Game 1 defeat can support almost any preconceived narrative of your choice. So why even bother to watch the rest of them?

…Well, let’s not go that far. Wes and Mark have had a few hours to assimilate everything, and they have thoughts. And takes. Takes, especially – on everything from officiating to special teams and from board battles to point shots (or lack thereof).

Does Jake Oettinger need to do a miracle, or just the expected? It’s time for Stargazing After Dark, and it’s brought to you by BetOnline.

First-Round Preview: Stars vs. Avalanche – Stargazing: A Dallas Stars Puckcast | Defending Big D

The Dallas Stars won their position in the 2025 Stanley Cup race relatively early. Then they skidded into the end of the regular season on a seven-game losing streak unprecedented during head coach Pete DeBoer's tenure. So what happens now that this team is supposed to be all in? To survey the first-round ice, Stargazing welcomed back longtime Colorado Avalanche writer Evan Liu, now of Hockey Mountain High. He sat down with Wes and Mark to talk about forward depth, netminder performance, the playoffs return of Tyler Seguin and Gabriel Landeskog, and why whatever happens…won't be a surprise. So who you got? Let’s talk about it. It’s Stargazing time! What’s on your mind? Share it at Defending Big D. (We’re there for you. Really!) And please don’t forget to rate, review and share. Thank you kindly.
