Stargazing, A Dallas Stars Puckcast – Episode 298: Corsi Monsters

Three games into the preseason, the Stars already are showing midseason form. How long can it last? Wes and Mark try to enjoy the moment.

Our brothers and sisters in ice, we are eating good. The Dallas Stars have started the 2025-26 NHL preseason not just with three consecutive wins, but with fancy stats suggesting that their good form is sustainable. Shot totals doubling up the competition, possession numbers off the charts, pucks actually going into the net – what could possibly go wrong? Right?…

For once, that’s a conversation for another day (read: don’t worry, folks, the annual Doomcast will arrive in due time). For now, Wes and Mark want to talk about how new old bench boss Glen Gulutzun is tweaking the system, which players are looking like roster material, and how the Victory Green Gang will process the four-to-six-week loss of Jamie Benn.

What are your hottest preseason takes? We’re Stargazing, and we guarantee we’ve said dumber things that actually ended up on the record. Let’s hash it out in the comments.

And please give the cast a rate, review or share while you’re thinking about it. We love you. Thanks.

The Dallas Stars got a big defender and a left wing before the NHL shut down for the final run toward the Stanley Cup Playoffs. How does this help, exactly? Wes and Mark have their ideas. In this edition of Stargazing, they talk about how the Central Division will play during bonus weeks, what the Stars' lines and pairs could look like, and why the most interesting signing may not be the one you think it is. Everyone needs more dog in their lineup. We're Stargazing, and we're brought to you by our favorite law firm, Miro Esa and Thomas. Are the Stars better now than they were before the trade deadline? Let us know what you think. And please, give us a rate, review, or share wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to Stargazing. We love you. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
