In this episode of Starcastic Remarks, Ryan, Chris, and James break down the Dallas Stars' 2-1 loss to the Anaheim Ducks, extending the Stars’ frustrating struggles on the West Coast. The trio unpacks key storylines, including John Gibson’s milestone 500th game and Ilya Lyubushkin’s concerning injury that further strains an already depleted defensive corps.

They analyze Jake Oettinger’s stellar 29-save performance, Matt Dumba’s increased ice time (including his role in critical defensive breakdowns), and Jamie Benn’s gritty effort that couldn’t spark the offense. The guys also discuss the top line’s scoring drought, the impact of sloppy neutral zone play, and the questionable officiating that added fuel to the fire.
