Dallas Stars Daily Links: Time To Turn It Around

It’s been quite the turn of events for the Dallas Stars since their exhilarating third period comeback in Game 1. Since that game, the Edmonton Oilers have outscored the Stars 9-1. It inherently has me thinking, was our victory in Game 1 a fluke? Keep in mind, the Stars were down 3-1 entering the third period in a game where Edmonton was dominating. Anyway, the past is the past and the Stars are…

The Dallas Stars are back in town, and they’re really really going to need help from the home crowd in Game 5 against the Edmonton Oilers. The Oil are a tough team – but that doesn’t absolve the Stars of their deficits on offense, nor of their dumb-penalty problem. So the question is, who will step up to ensure they get a Game 6? Wes and Mark discuss the dangers of over-passing…

Afterwords: Under the Bus

The original title for this Afterwords was going to be “Dead Cat.” The main body of the piece was going to talk about how we all knew (or should have known) that the Dallas Stars weren’t coming back to beat the Edmonton Oilers this series. How in light of that, all I really wanted for Game 5 was to have a “dead cat bounce,” that is a resounding victory that would fill fans with hope even if…

Stargazing, A Dallas Stars Puckcast – Episode 294: Cut Short

The Dallas Stars’ season is over, and we’re all left to contemplate what happened to their Stanley Cup hopes. Was this an Edmonton Oilers problem, or a symptom of something bigger that an occasional explosion of elite talent could only hide for so long? Wes and Mark sat down after the end (and before the news of Pete DeBoer’s departure) to examine the strategy…and why we might have seen this…

Stars Trade Mason Marchment to Seattle

Last night, the Dallas Stars announced that they have traded Mason Marchment to the Seattle Kraken for a 2026 3rd round pick and a 2025 4th round pick.

Stargazing, A Dallas Stars Puckcast – Episode 296: Dealer’s Choice

The Dallas Stars are probably going to have a pretty boring draft this year. It’s the rest of the offseason that is shaping up to be a ride, and many fans are afraid it will be a dark one. But how much do we really have to fear, with the NHL salary cap rising and Jim Nill at the helm? Mark knew who he wanted to talk to about it, so he contacted self-described stats nerd and friend of DBD…
