August 04, 2020 Episode 93: Afterwords Nights - Vegas Style
Need some help dealing with the Dallas Stars right now? Turn to the professionals (more or less). Wes and Robert watched the same game against the Vegas Golden Knights that you just did, and and they’re here to talk you through it.

The on-again, off-again offense, the need for the risky yet rewarding versions of John Klingberg and Alexander Radulov, why you should let your great goaltenders do great goaltending...it’s all in this smoky, late-night edition of “Stargazing.”

July 28, 2020 Episode 92: Go West
Big D is in the E! The Dallas Stars are in the bubble and ready to rock the Stanley Cup playoffs. So how far can they really get...and who will they have to go through to get it?

In this hour, Mark and Rob get on a roll early and never let up. Activating the defense, talent over size, and Tyler Seguin’s potential for a monster series...it’s all here.

In this edition:
surprises (and not-surprises) in the Stars’ final roster,
forward combos for days,
sizing up strength down the middle,
the four-goalie paradox, and
why Stephen Johns and Jamie Oleksiak could be the keys to the kingdom.

July 09, 2020 Episode 91: Get The Balance Right
There’s so much about this season that Dallas Stars fans would rather forget. This podcast will remember it for you.
Wes and Robert have many, many takes on everything from John Klingberg to their great-grandmothers’ cookie apothecary jars, and they share them in a ’cast that’s all about using the right ingredients at the right time...which, coincidentally, is one of the challenges the Stars face as they prepare to Return to Play.
In this episode:
reflections on the Lindy Ruff era, and how it echoes into Bowness hockey,
a good talk about who are the Stars’ biggest rivals, and who are just the teams we really, really want them to beat,
how the right combination of tournament veterans and stupid kids could propel the Stars to postseason success,
and why no one should sleep on Tyler Seguin.
CD, DVD, or LP? Discuss.
