- A Dallas Stars Season Preview
The Dallas Stars return to regular-season ice tonight in Madison Square Garden. Whatever will you do as you wait for the start of the season opener against the New York Rangers?... Maybe podcasting will help.
Wes, Taylor and Greg gathered last night in anticipation of this very moment. Now you get to hear their conversation as they talk out the last of the preseason yips. In this edition:
- After you take out the contracts and NHL experience levels, is Dallas starting the season with the best netminding tandem available?
- How high is the team’s confidence in Anton Khudobin – and how high should it be?
- Is is possible that having Khudobin and Braden Holtby in Dallas and Jake Oettinger in Cedar Park creates a rare win-win-win situation?
- Will the back-to-normal schedule help or hurt?
- What about the sudden rash of illness and injury in the offensive corps?
- Has Jacob Peterson made his case as a top-nine forward, or as a top-six forward?
- Will Miro Heiskanen stop deferring to his defensive partner now that he won’t be deferring to Jamie Oleksiak?
- And is this team ready to be as expectation-heavy as it is?
This is your last preseason opportunity to rag on us for our goaltending obsession. Can you resist? Let’s go Stargazing.

- On Trusting The Process
The Dallas Stars’ preseason is nearly at its end, and things look...good? But now that the Braden Holtby, Starting Goaltender conversation has begun in earnest, what else should we be noticing?
Wes and Taylor have seen a few things in the preseason that have burned the Victory Green Gang in the regular season. So they spent a good half-hour taking inventory. (PLEASE NOTE: This conversation took place before the Stars’ 3-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday, in which Taylor herself chose Anton Khudobin as the First Star of the Game, so there’s that.)
In this edition:
- Has Braden Holtby’s preseason performance helped clarify the Stars’ netminding decisions?
- What should we make of the amount of ice time allotted to the top forwards?
- Strike that: What should we make of Alexander Radulov out there blocking shots in a preseason game?
- Has Mavrik Bourque played his way into a nine-game tester?
- Will Jacob Peterson be on the opening-night roster?
- What are the chances that Dallas carries an extra forward instead of an eighth defenseman this season?
- What does all of this say about the Stars’ roster depth?
- And what form of this team will head into the regular season?
Know the code: “Maple” is turtling when you’re down a goal, “Honey” is turtling when you’re up a goal. And there’s more where that came from, because this is Stargazing.
Are you ready for the regular season, except for that one nagging question about the existential crisis of Stars fandom? Then be part of the next podcast: Post your questions in the comments or at Defending Big D, or DM us @WesALawrence or @KETibbetts.
