The Dallas Stars are coming home from Washington with a tied series in their duffles. Can they take their first Round 2 lead over the Seattle Kraken, on home ice?

Wes, Mark and Tyler got together to give it a think-out-loud, and we turned it into a whole podcast. In this episode:

• why the Stars' top line has been the dog that didn't bark,

We don't know the question, but the answer is "Give Thomas Harley more ice time." Meanwhile, it's time for Stargazing! Brought to you by the good folks at the Green Team, Greening Law, P.C.

Have a Round 2 question? Tell us about a Defending Big D, or DM us on the bird app @WesALawrence or @KETibbetts. We'll name-check you in the next podcast.

And don't forget what needy creatures we are – rate, review and share. Thanks!
