Stargazing: A Dallas Stars Puckcast | Defending Big D episodes

  • Episode 130: Keep On Dancing

    The Dallas Stars have three games and only two points in the bag so far this week. But Saturday’s road war with the Nashville Predators gives them a shot at that ever-so-precious four-point swing against their closest #Disco rivals. Will they get the bounce, or will the bounce get them?

    The only way to find out is to keep on dancing. Wes and Mark sat down for a heart-to-heart after the latest Tampa Bay Lightning shutout, and the result is the Stargazing in front of you.

    In this edition:

    • How much of their destiny can the Stars control?
  • Is the schedule their biggest opponent right now?
  • Will Tyler Seguin, and a possible return to high-event hockey, arrive in time to make a difference?
  • Can Joel Kiviranta help goose the scoring in the meantime?
  • Can Jamie Benn keep up the pace – and can the team see a future for him at center?
  • What will the forward lines look like for the rest of this race?
  • And what does the future hold for the Stars’ pending free agents? (Jamie Oleksiak, looking at you.)

    • It’s time to get aggressive. It’s time for a meeting with the latest episode of Stargazing. (Yowzah, yowzah, yowzah.)

  • Episode 129: Don't Stop The Music

    The Dallas Stars have made it through yet another impossible COVID-compressed string of games, and they came out the other side with...hope? Is that what we’re experiencing?...

    But the Victory Green Gang has to keep moving through the #Disco if they want to make the biggest dance of all. Wes and Logan take a moment to measure how far they’ve come – and that crucial distance that remains.

    In this episode:

    • How did the Victory Green Gang fare during this particular stretch of four games in six nights?
  • How can they stay the course in a tough schedule that includes division leaders like the Carolina Hurricanes and the Tampa Bay Lightning...as well as their closest rivals, the Nashville Predators?
  • Can even a portion of Tyler Seguin be fuel enough to propel them successfully through the obstacle course ahead?
  • Will Segs’ skill set help change the Stars’ overtime fortunes in particular?
  • With John Klingberg missing minutes and Miro Heiskanen on the game-time decision list, can the defense hold up against attrition?
  • How well do the Stars manage a training room that often looks more like a M*A*S*H unit?
  • How can Jason Robertson’s case for the Calder Trophy become even more emphatic?
  • And who will be the real hero of Helm’s Deep?

    • All this, and a surprise ending, are yours in this edition of Stargazing. Buckle up.

  • Episode 128: It Only Takes A Minute

    When we started recording last night’s Stargazing, the Chicago Blackhawks were down 4-1 to the Nashville Predators in the third period. Life moves pretty fast, as the philosopher once observed, and the Preds’ reversal of fortune is now a matter of fairly brutal public record.

    It only takes a minute – well, a few great games – for a season to change. And now that everything’s a playoff series, the Dallas Stars have been living the upside of that. Can it last? Wes, Rob and Mark got together to examine the case.

    In this edition:

    • Can the Stars’ current goals-for/goals-against recipe keep cooking up victories?
  • With Denis Gurianov finding a couple of new gears, can the team keep rolling at least two dangerous scoring lines?
  • Do they play better when they’re playing desperate?
  • Is it even possible to overestimate the impact of Jason Robertson?
  • What can the Victory Green Gang expect when Tyler Seguin returns from his long hiatus?
  • Does the Jamie Oleksiak-Miro Heiskanen pair mean the Stars have a legitimate top four?
  • And will they get any help at all from the schedule – or their direct competitors?

    • What’s your position on coaching?... You might pay big money to know what you really think – but Stargazing is always free.
