  • Pondering The Preseason

    The Dallas Stars have played two preseason games so far and lost both of them in overtime. It’s almost as if last season never ended, eh?

    Well, let’s not jump to conclusions. Wes and Taylor got on the call last night and talked about everything from 3-on-3 strategy to that fugue state a dude enters the moment he gets hit in the junk. In this episode:

    • Should we worry that Dallas’ inability to close out a game in overtime seems to have become the recurring theme for 2021?
  • Can the team shake its tendency to play 40 minutes of decent hockey in a 60-minute game?
  • Is it too soon to tell if Jason Robertson taken over Jason Dickinson’s role as the designated target? ...Is it a Jason thing?
  • Will Rick Bowness’ plan to give each of the Stars’ goaltenders an entire preseason game turn out to be the best way to pick a starter?
  • What does Jake Oettinger need to do to keep himself in that conversation?
  • And where is Thomas Harley on the AHL-to-NHL continuum?
  • What stage of the buddy-cop movie are John Klingberg and Ryan Suter playing out?
  • How much has Jacob Peterson’s stock risen since Traverse City?
  • How did Alexander Radulov and Tyler Seguin look?
  • And how does the Stars’ forward corps stack up so far?

    • Get the answers to these questions, plus a surprise guest appearance by Wes’ kids, right here in Stargazing. It’s almost like we had an actual run of show!

  • From Traverse City To Training Camp

    The long wait has entered its last mile: The Dallas Stars have returned to training camp. After the series of disasters that defined last season, anything short of the rink burning down around them will be an improvement.

    But how will this team come together over the next few weeks? We’re not sure, either – but Wes, Mark and Taylor discuss everything from the Traverse City NHL Prospect Tournament to Braden Holtby’s tortoises in an effort to figure it out. In this edition:

    • What, if anything, actually matters about the Prospect Tournament?
  • Does a prospect’s performance there say anything about whether he’s good at hockey?
  • What did the Stars do differently from every other team in the tournament?
  • Does Ty Dellandrea’s peak game depend on him getting a couple of years older (and bigger)?
  • What did Taylor learn about the state of the team at the opening of training camp?
  • What really shut down Alexander Radulov last season?
  • What should we infer when Tyler Seguin tells the media he feels “dangerous” this year?
  • How did the Long-Term Injury line of Seguin, Radulov and Joel Kiviranta look?
  • What should we make of the John Klingberg-Ryan Suter and Miro Heiskanen-Esa Lindell practice pairings?
  • For that matter, what should we make of the big news about Ben Bishop’s injury status?
  • Is this Rick Bowness’ first big chance to install his System 2.0 and test it out?
  • And how hard is it to tell how the team looks overall when you’re really just watching them do drills?

    • Are you looking forward to see how Segs’ cybernetic leg will perform? Then you’re among friends here at Stargazing – the official podcast of Unbridled Training Camp Energy.
