Stargazing: A Dallas Stars Puckcast | Defending Big D episodes

  • Episode 145: Needles And Pins

    We’re about to go from zero to hockey in a period of mere days. What will you do? ...What will you do?

    Wes Lawrence and Taylor Baird sat down to discuss forwards and line combos, but a sudden outbreak of actual Dallas Stars headlines gave them even better things to talk about. Among the topics:

    • How should fans interpret Saad Yousuf’s money quote in The Athletic that Tyler Seguin “only require[s] acupuncture every 36 hours”?
  • How much should we read into David Satriano’s assertion at NHL.com that Ben Bishop “likely will be healthy”?
  • How much more does Miro Heiskanen have to do to impress the hockey men who create meaningless rankings and vote on the Norris Trophy?
  • How much unseen work goes into the maintenance of a professional athlete, and how overwrought do we get when we don’t understand that context?
  • How much of getting healthy is really about getting rested?
  • And how much will the return to a normal, non-punishing, non-COVID schedule help?

    • All this, plus a fan question and a free review of the league’s long-term injured reserve rules – what more could you possibly want? Answer in the comments, because right now, we’re Stargazing.

  • Episode 144: Who‘s Minding The Store?

    The Dallas Stars have NHL-level goalies to spare – but how will they manage the crowd in the crease? Do they have a clear-cut starter – or starting brigade? And to what extent are those decisions fully in their own hands?

    Wes and Tyler tend to get all worked up about this stuff, and when they do, they podcast. And pace. (Plays hell with the Bluetooth sometimes.) In this episode:

    • Who is the Stars’ starter, and is that as straightforward as it looks?
  • Who is their backup...and is that as straightforward as it looks?
  • How might a 1A-1B situation work?
  • Will the return to a full schedule help or complicate matters?
  • Jake Oettinger will be The Guy somewhere – but will that be in Dallas or in Cedar Park?
  • Does Anton Khudobin have a bounceback year in him?
  • Do you sign Braden Holtby if you don’t plan to play him in the NHL?
  • What can we expect from Ben Bishop?
  • And even with all these netminders, do the Stars have actual organizational depth?

    • Can you go 30 minutes without weighing in on the Holtby signing? If you can’t...come sit next to us. You’re with Stargazing.

    Let’s get through the next few weeks together: Be part of the next podcast by posting your questions in the comments or at Defending Big D, or by DM’ing us @WesALawrence or @KETibbetts.
