Stargazing, A Dallas Stars Puckcast – Episode 252: Round 1, Game 4

The Stars needed a lot of things to go right on Tuesday night. Wes and Mark discuss how and why they did.

The Dallas Stars don’t need to do something extra, they just need to be who they are. That’s how Wes and Mark see the state of play after the Victory Green Gang – against all odds, as it were –evened up Round 1 in Vegas on Tuesday night.

In this episode, DBD’s cast-masters bring the discussion on everything that matters – including Jake Oettinger’s return to the best version of himself, the forward lines that just keep coming, the momentum that runs shift to shift but not game to game, and Craig Smith as secret sauce.

What is this series doing in Round 1? It’s a mystery. And this is Stargazing – brought to you by BetOnline.

Does Logan Stankoven need to stop deferring? Let’s talk about it in the comments – or DM us @WesALawrence or @KETibbetts on the short app. We’re here for you.

And let us know if you’re stuck in traffic on the way to Game 5! It may be a good time to rate, review and share. (Not if you’re driving, though. That would be wrong.)

Season Over – Stargazing: A Dallas Stars Puckcast | Defending Big D

The Dallas Stars had a good postseason showing. They took down the past two Stanley Cup champions before injuries, exhaustion, and the risks of playing five defensemen caught up to them. Now it's time to think about what the summer will hold. In our final 2024 episode of Stargazing After Dark, Wes and Mark discuss the issues that may be keeping you awake at night, too. Such as: how to get Miro Heiskanen on his strong side, once and for all, why not playing games you don't have to play is a pretty good way to play fewer games, whether it's better to have superstars or super depth, and many, many more. We're Stargazing, and we're assuming Chris Tanev is getting a new Victory Green contract sometime in the next several weeks. Please, help us speak this into existence. We'll bring it to you with some help from our buddies at BetOnline. What else do you hope the Stars will do during the offseason? Let us know at Defending Big D, or DM us @WesALawrence or @KETibbetts on the short app. (We only stay there for you.) And please don’t forget to rate, review and share. It makes us so sadly happy. Really it does.
