Dallas Stars Daily Links: “Money Time”

Through the first four games, the Dallas Stars’ high-octane offense was nowhere to be found, having only scored seven goals so far in Round 1. Last night, however, it seemed like that offense was found. The Stars netted six goals in a 6-2 rout of the Colorado Avalanche to close a pivotal Game 5 – and where some of those goals came from is equally important. In a recent article by Dallas…

Afterwords: Just What the Doctor Ordered

Before last night’s game, I was talking with my brother and (inevitably) we got to talking about Dallas Stars hockey. He said what he really wanted more than anything was for the Stars to actually lead for more than a minute in this series, before sarcastically stating that a monkey paw just curled and that they would hold a lead for 59 minutes but then still lose to a flurry of Colorado Avalanche…

Stars vs. Avs, Game 6: Dallas looks to build on success

Game 5 marked a dramatic shift for Dallas, as the Stars dominated the Colorado Avalanche 6-2 to take a 3-2 series lead and set the stage to close it out in Game 6 on Thursday. Was the Game 5 performance a fluke, or a preview of what’s to come? Let’s break down three key factors the Stars will want to carry over into Game 6: One of the most noticeable differences in Game 5 was the…

Stargazing, A Dallas Stars Puckcast – Episode 286: Round 1, Game 5 Reactions

The Dallas Stars keep defying the doomcast. After a stunning Game 4 bellyflop, they came back with a dominating performance in Game 5. Now the Round 1 outcome is once again in their hands – but it will proceed on the Colorado Avalanche’s home ice. Can they finish the job before the series stretches to seven games? Wes and Mark met up After Dark to pore over the possibilities. In the process…

Afterwords: (Almost) Just as Planned

When the Dallas Stars made the biggest splash at the NHL Trade Deadline by acquiring Mikko Rantanen for an arm and a leg, the first thought on everyone’s mind was something along the lines of, “This is the superstar piece that can finally put Dallas over the top.” The second thought that came to mind was something like, “Okay, but what the heck are you going to do about the defense?”…

Stargazing, A Dallas Stars Puckcast – Episode 287: Round 1, Game 6 Reactions

Good news! The Dallas Stars can close the Round 1 deal on home ice. Bad news: The Colorado Avalanche can finish them off in their own barn. How do you play those match-ups? Wes and Mark worked After Dark to put their thoughts together, and in this episode they discuss the advantages of shortening the Stars’ bench, the dangers of relying on Pete DeBoer’s playoffs streak, and why it may be a…

Afterwords: Rantanen’s Revenge

On some level, the outcome of Game 7 between the Dallas Stars and the Colorado Avalanche might as well have been predetermined. After all, this is Stars head coach Pete DeBoer we’re talking about, who entered the game with an absurd 8-0 record in Game 7s. The same DeBoer who had already thrice ended Colorado’s season, once each with three different teams. A Colorado team who, each time…

Stargazing, A Dallas Stars Puckcast – Episode 288: Round 1 Wrap-Up

The Dallas Stars did it. They won a Round 1 against the Colorado Avalanche that, in a better world, would have been a Western Conference Final. It wasn’t easy, or pretty, or predictable – but the Victory Green Gang gave themselves the chance to win a Central Division title with all their elite players healthy and back on the ice. And if Game 7 taught us anything, it’s that sometimes you need…

Dallas Stars Daily Links: Gettin’ Stingy With It

With Mikko Rantanen having only one point heading into Game 5, Dallas Stars fans – and I’m sure Rantanen himself – were getting a little frustrated. No, it’s not because the series was tied two games apiece, as this was expected from most Stars fans. What was not expected was the lack of production from Rantanen after the Stars gave up a whole lot at the deadline to acquire him, not to mention the…

Stargazing, A Dallas Stars Puckcast – Episode 289: Round 2 Preview

The Dallas Stars are about to begin the fight for another Central Division championship – and to get there, they only have to knock off the team that earned the 2025 President’s Trophy. (Oh, is that all?) Brad McDonnell joined Wes and Mark to examine how the Stars match up with their Dirty Central cellmates, the Winnipeg Jets. In this edition, they discuss how Mason Marchment can help (and…

Afterwords: Rantanen’s Rampage

Last night, the Dallas Stars accomplished something that has never, ever been seen before in the NHL. They won Game 1. Alright, hyperbole much, but that honestly is, first and foremost, my biggest takeaway from the game. Yes, yes yes, Mikko Rantanen is a god among men who seems to be actively trying to make Colorado Avalanche fans as miserably as possible (we’ll get to that later…

Stargazing, A Dallas Stars Puckcast – Episode 290: Round 2, Game 1 Reactions

The Dallas Stars won a Game 1! This is the best thing to happen since 2020, when they won Game 1 against the Tampa Bay Lightning…hey, wait a minute. We know everyone loves a doomcast, but at this point we’re constantly on the lookout for reasons to believe. So Wes and Mark worked through the night to find sustainability in the Stars’ current good fortune (you know, the kind that doesn’t…
