Stargazing, A Dallas Stars Puckcast – Episode 277: Rantanen Raving

The book has been written, and quite literally: The Dallas Stars are now co-favorites to win the 2025 Stanley Cup, and it’s down to the deal that brought Mikko Rantanen into the fold. How does this team look for a deep playoffs run, especially if Tyler Seguin returns in his early-season form? Is it ridiculous to put so much faith in this lineup so early? Can the defense measure up?

Gameday: Stars looking to close gap on Jets

The Stars are running out of runway in their chase for the top spot in the Central Division, but they’ve added some serious firepower for the stretch run. Newly acquired Mikko Rantanen, playing his third game since the trade deadline, gives Dallas another offensive weapon as they take on the first-place Jets in a crucial matchup Friday night in Winnipeg. How to watch: Puck drop at 7 p.m.

Dallas Stars Daily Links: Happy Victor E. Green Day!

I hope everyone is rocking some sort of green today, whether it’s to celebrate Victor E. Green’s birthday or St. Patrick’s Day. Real talk, it’s been a tough couple games for the Dallas Stars, who have lost to two teams that Stars Nation would really like to see them beat as the postseason nears. Playing teams such as these is a true pressure reading on how we stand against similar competition…

Dallas Stars Daily Links: Bounceback

What a difference a weekend can make. This time last week, the Dallas Stars community was feeling pretty good post-deadline. So much has been said about the acquisition of Mikko Rantanen that I don’t want to keep harping on it — other than to say, elite talents are elite talents, and I’m willing to give some time for this one to gel. Unfortunately there wasn’t time for that…

Dallas Stars Daily Links: Working Overtime

The Dallas Stars had to scramble, after all. But after taking two road losses against real Stanley Cup playoffs contenders, they got back in the win column — just in time, as it were — with a 4-3 overtime victory against the Anaheim Ducks. Stars senior staff writer Mike Heika writes about how the Stars managed to get out of their own way, and how important last night’s home win was for the…

Gameday: Stars look to extend home streak as newcomers find rhythm

The Dallas Stars will try to extend their home winning streak to nine games when they take on the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday. With the playoffs approaching, the Stars are hoping to start gelling with new additions for a post-season run. The Stars have been dominant at the AAC this season, posting a 25-6-1 record on home ice (tied with Winnipeg for the most home wins in the West).

How Do Buyouts Work?

So, buyouts are weird. You basically pay a player to not play for your team. And, until recently, I — like many others — only focused on the buyout number that affects a team’s available cap space. PuckPedia even offers a handy buyout calculator to break down the impact of a team trying to get out of a contract early. But here’s the thing: That number only tells half the story. 🚨…

Dallas Stars Daily Links: Movie Day!

Happy Friday, DBD! One of my fondest memories during grade school was when a teacher would let us watch a movie on a Friday. Nothing was better for the mind than to end a school week like that. Well, I’m bringing that to you today as we sail into the weekend. Take a few minutes to watch Wyatt Johnston’s full interview with FOX 4’s Jeff Kolb that aired yesterday (Harlan posted a snippet in…

Dallas Stars Daily Links: In Harley We Trust

My good-vibes Links post a couple days ago resulted in a Dallas Stars win — even if it was a bit of a grind. (Yes, I’m taking credit.) It’s a weird time to be a Stars fan. The boys in Victory Green have been a contender for several years, falling just short a few times. This year the vibes started strong — and then lulled as the Stars couldn’t find a way to score for a few weeks (and don’t…

Let’s Talk About Mikko Rantanen’s Contract

Mikko Rantanen is a good player. A very good player! And now he’s a Dallas Star! At this point, the topline numbers have been well-publicized. Since the 2020-21 season he’s scored the fourth most points in the league, only behind Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Nathan MacKinnon. Over the same time period, he’s scored the fifth most goals, behind just Auston Matthews, Draisaitl, David Pastrnak…

Stargazing, A Dallas Stars Puckcast – Episode 278: Texas Stars Spring Update 2025

By the time you listen to this, the Texas Stars will have already punched their ticket to the 2025 Calder Cup playoffs. Turns out Victory Green is a fun color in Austin Metro, too! The Stars in Dallas benefit greatly when the Stars in Cedar Park succeed. So to take the measure of the T-Stars’ prospects, Mark once again calls on the expertise of Stephen Meserve — creator of the must-read Texas…

Dallas Stars Daily Links: Ugly Wins Still Count

I saw someone post on X on Sunday that despite the Dallas Stars’ questionable run of form lately, it’s good for fans to focus on the bigger picture. Despite a tough weekend against the top of the division, and some causes for concern elsewhere, the Stars continue to bag points consistently. It’s true — there really aren’t any throwaway games in this league (just ask the Winnipeg Jets…

Dallas Stars Daily Links: Party Otter Here

The Dallas Stars came out of their latest homestand with seven out of eight available points — and many of those points were gotten in pretty frantic, disheveled ways. So it’s nice that they’re heading back out on the road with a resounding 3-0 shutout over a key Central Division rival. Monday was Jake Oettinger Night in more ways than one. After the Stars gave out Jake bobbleheads to early…

Happy Victory Day, DBD! Be sure to tune into Victory+ all day to have the chance to win prizes and cheer on the Texas Rangers as they host the Boston Red Sox for Opening Day, followed by the Dallas Stars as the face off against the Calgary Flames! While Jason Robertson was the show last night, Stars defenseman Thomas Harley was the star last Saturday when he netted the game-winning overtime…
