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!)

First-Round Preview: Stars vs. Avalanche – Stargazing: A Dallas Stars Puckcast | Defending Big D
The Dallas Stars won their position in the 2025 Stanley Cup race relatively early. Then they skidded into the end of the regular season on a seven-game losing streak unprecedented during head coach Pete DeBoer's tenure. So what happens now that this team is supposed to be all in?
To survey the first-round ice, Stargazing welcomed back longtime Colorado Avalanche writer Evan Liu, now of Hockey Mountain High. He sat down with Wes and Mark to talk about forward depth, netminder performance, the playoffs return of Tyler Seguin and Gabriel Landeskog, and why whatever happens…won't be a surprise.
So who you got? Let’s talk about it. It’s Stargazing time!
