Craig and Gavin talk about playing back to back going into the thin air of Colorado and how they match up with the Avs. 

Gavin and Craig talk about the upcoming trade deadline and what moves would make sense for the Stars. Craig shares some stories from the trade deadline as a player.

The Stars returned home for a game to play the Islanders and came up with a point in a 3-2 overtime loss. The schedule gets pretty tough for Dallas as they have to travel to Colorado Tuesday and then return back home right after that before they head out west next week. Gavin talks about the Stars overcoming a 5 on 3 penalty kill in the second period and how massive that was for them as they were down 1-0 at that point and didn’t allow New York to add on. Gavin makes note that the offense isn’t putting up big numbers as of late, the shots on net are one thing but the number on the scoreboard for goals is a lot lower than it should be. He previews Colorado for Tuesday night and talks about some possible trade scenarios for the Stars. 

Logan Stankoven made his NHL debut and played very well in the Stars 2-1 win over Carolina Saturday night, snapping a 4 game losing streak. Gavin says Wyatt Johnston was the best player on the ice in this game despite Pete DeBoer saying Jamie Benn was. Gavin makes note that Wyatt Johnston is younger than Stankoven. He makes mention that the young talent has been making an impact for this team and he doesn’t want to see them get traded. Gavin wraps with answering tweets sent in by listeners.
