The Dallas Stars are really dependable about losing Game 1. The good news has always been that it isn’t necessarily predictive, until it is.
Wes and Mark took a few hours to process the good and the bad in the Victory Green Gang’s 5-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. What they found was some surprisingly good news about structure and puck luck, and one or two shrieking warning sirens (fourth line, looking at you.)
It’s time for Stargazing After Dark. Please do not bring your “Esa Lindell and Cody Ceci are a shutdown pair” statements here.

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.
