If there’s one thing the Dallas Stars don’t have to worry about, it’s their tandem in net. But what do fans expect to see from Jake Oettinger and Casey DeSmith in 2026-27?
In this episode of Stargazing, Wes and Mark talk about the synergy between the net and the blueline, the importance of staying healthy (and how much that’s worth paying for), the factors that stats can’t seem to capture, the Him vs. Dog of it all, and ever so much more.
Really, who cares about save percentage? We’re Stargazing, and we’d rather get credit for the wins. Let’s talk about it in the comments. And please give us a rate, review, or share wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome to Stargazing. We love you.
The Dallas Stars' struggles in filling out their defense have defined much of their recent past. But will it define them in 2026-27?
In Stargazing's annual Positional Puckcast, Wes and Mark examine the blueline and find…a solid, functional unit. They discuss the ever-steady top pairing of Miro Heiskanen and Esa Lindell, the advent of Nils Lundvist, what to expect from Thomas Harley, a future for Lian Bichsel, the Wall of Humanity Pairing Featuring Tyler Myers, who will win the seventh-defender spot, and ever so much more.
Will Heiskanen ever get back on his strong side? Is that even a goal at this point? We're Stargazing, and we think Miro is better on his right-hand side than many actual right-handers. But let’s talk about it at Defending Big D. And please give us a rate, review, or share wherever you get your podcasts.
