Spits & Suds Podcast

Dallas ends a losing streak against Toronto, Logan Stankoven ends his 25 game streak without a goal and the Stars score two power play goals in a 4-1 victory. Host Gavin Spittle is joined by Robert Tiffin from D Magazine. The guys talk about Stankoven having two goals in the game and how hard he has been playing and has to be so relieved to end the streak without a goal. Robert mentions the Stars usually win when they only allow two goals or less because they score at least three goals more often than not. Gavin admits he is starting to run out of things to say about Matt Duchene because of how good he has been this year.

The Stars 7 game win streak comes to an end after a 3-2 defeat to the Ottaway Senators. Host Gavin Spittle talks about the difficult schedule the Stars have had with a back to back with Montreal and Ottwawa, but Ottawa also had to play a back to back and they had to travel from Pittsburgh to Ottawa, and Meriläinen played in back to back games in net for the Senators. He talks about the big turning point in the game when Dallas thought they tied it, but video review overturned the goal for offsides and Ottawa scored a goal in the third period to take a 3-1 lead. Gavin explains why they struggle so much with Ottawa and load management for players being another reason why Bichsel should be back on this team.
