The officially playoffs-bound Dallas Stars always seem to have one player or another going off these days. If it’s not Wyatt Johnston racking up points like a veteran elite forward, or Jason Robertson regaining his scoring touch with a vengeance, then it might be Thomas Harley making a late run at the postseason awards with all the offensive-defenseman flair he can muster.
But we are Stars fans, which means we can’t have nice things. So we’re left to wonder if a Stanley Cup competitor’s path through the Victory Green Gang will simply involve beating up on our favorite high-skill players until there aren’t any left.
In this edition of Stargazing, Wes and Mark consider what the Stars’ roster depth will mean for this year’s postseason run. How important may it be that the front office hasn’t overreacted to the team’s perceived weaknesses? How long can their PDO bender last? And what will it mean for their chances if they can’t slam the door more consistently on their opponents?
Think, for a moment, about the secret genius of pairing Lian Bichsel with Matt Dumba. We certainly have. This is Stargazing, brought to you by BetOnline.
