Gavin recaps the Stars loss to Tampa Bay. He says if you expected another 8-1 win like they had on Saturday afternoon, that wasn’t ever going to happen. He brings up the Kucherov goal and how the defense left him wide open in front of the net. Gavin didn’t see the effort from the Stars in this game. Gavin says he expects some changes on Thursday if there aren’t any changes in Wednesday’s game. 

Gavin recaps the Stars absolute beatdown on the Lightning, with an 8-1 win. Gavin talks about Dallas going 2/2 on the power play and the Lightning only going 1/6, being a huge difference in the game. The Lightning have a great power play unit but the Stars penalty kill was up for the challenge. The Stars got off to a 3-0 start and never looked back against a good Tampa Bay team. Gavin wonders why Jake Oettinger wasn’t pulled in the game especially with the Stars playing Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. He also answers questions sent in by listeners.
