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!)

Round 1, Game 1 Reactions – Stargazing: A Dallas Stars Puckcast | Defending Big D
There is nothing wrong with the Dallas Stars. Their systems work, and so does their lineup. And this Minnesota Wild team is still exactly what we thought it was. So how do we square these things with the…effort we saw in Game 1?
To make sense of Saturday's loss, we needed to bring in the big guns. So Wes and Mark tackled the topic with NHL.com's Taylor Baird – whom you also know as DBD's editor-in-chief. They went over the lines that worked (and didn't), the injuries that still dog the team, and what the Stars will do to rally after getting punched in the face.
The Stars have a history of losing the first game in a Stanley Cup Playoffs round, then going on to win the series. We're Stargazing, and we're taking the long view for as long as we can.
What's your take on Game 1? Let us know at Defending Big D. And please don’t forget to rate, review and share wherever you listen. It's the daily affirmation that we love most of all.
