Good news! The Dallas Stars can close the Round 1 deal on home ice. Bad news: The Colorado Avalanche can finish them off in their own barn. How do you play those match-ups?
Wes and Mark worked After Dark to put their thoughts together, and in this episode they discuss the advantages of shortening the Stars’ bench, the dangers of relying on Pete DeBoer’s playoffs streak, and why it may be a good idea for Mikko Rantanen to play 20 minutes in Game 7.
Who will be the hero the Stars need in Game 7? Tell us in the comments. We not only read them, we bring them up in future casts. (Get your props while the getting’s good!)

Golfing Season – Stargazing: A Dallas Stars Puckcast | Defending Big D
Well, the Dallas Stars exited the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs sooner than anyone wanted. It's going to be a long summer for all of us. What now?
In this episode of Stargazing, Wes and Mark examined the takeaways from the Stars' all-too-short run. And along with the obvious issues (injuries, penalties, name it), they found some surprisingly positive evidence for the future (and you may or may not be surprised at how much of it probably ties into the promotion of Neil Graham).
So are you rooting for the asteroid, or the giant truck? We're Stargazing, and we're keeping our options open.
Bonus question: What will you look for in the next NHL Draft? Let's talk about it at Defending Big D. And please give us a rate, review, or share wherever you get your podcasts.
