What would you sacrifice for a Stanley Cup? Wes and Mark ponder the unthinkable, and more.

It’s never a bad time to overthink your Dallas Stars opinions. But with a new year just around the corner, and the Stars looking like an inevitable playoffs contender once again, it’s a good time to fire up the special holiday hot-takery bakery.

Wes and Mark are on the case, but then again, they’re always on the case. In this episode, they discuss:

  • the Tyler Seguin injury,
  • the quiet advent of Oskar Bäck,
  • the meat and potatoes of the Miro Heiskanen-Matt Dumba pair,
  • the historical impact of letting Alex Goligoski walk,
  • Jim Nill, and what becomes a legend most,
  • and so very much more.

What can the Stars do with Seggy’s LTIR cap space? Tell us in the comments. We’ll discuss your ideas in a future cast. (No, really!)

And please don’t forget to leave a tip in the form of a like, review or share. Thanks for listening!

The Dallas Stars picked the week before a big road trip to go on a bit of a tear, winning-wise. Four consecutive victories, three of them at home, felt like a great holiday gift that arrived just a couple of days late – at once a delight and a relief. Which means it's a great time for Wes and Mark to start rolling sports takes. In this episode, they discuss the resurgence of Jason Robertson, the frustrations of Logan Stankoven and Mavrik Bourque, and what it means to have Lian Bichsel carrying the entire defense for the Texas Stars rather than playing on the third pair in Dallas. Heads up: Matt Dumba gets his flowers in this one. That should be all the reason you need to go Stargazing with us. The whole thing is brought to you by BetOnline. Any predictions for the trip East? Tell us about it at Defending Big D. We’ll probably bring it up in a future cast. (No, really!) And hey, let us know you’re listening in the form of a like, review or share. Thanks for listening!
