The Wish List

2022/12/02

This season’s Dallas Stars feel like an early holiday present already. But there’s always room for improvement, right? Wes, Mark and Juraj got together the morning of the Anaheim Ducks game to talk about what the Stars have, and what they’re wishing for. In this edition: Are we on full-time Jason Robertson Hart Trophy watch? Should we be? How does the Stars’ cap-hit layer cake stack up with the Roope Hintz extension? Can a handful of sub-optimal contracts still spoil the taste? Or will it be offset

Puck Luck, Or Puck Hard Work?

Sure, the Dallas Stars have a good record. They have some great players, and they can beat you in a couple of different ways. But are they actually good? For real? Because some stats suggest they’re...kind of middle-of-the-road-ish. The Victory Green Gang leads the Central Division (still, at this posting) in points, and it also leads the league in shooting percentage. But there’s a lot going on under the hood right now – and as always, Wes and Mark want to pop the latch and take a look. In this

Killing It

The Dallas Stars have won twice as many games as they’ve lost so far. Think about that while you get ready for the Edmonton matinée. Wes and Mark have been thinking about it for a while. They recorded this podcast literal moments before the Stars-Coyotes game began, and they’re absolutely willing to take credit for Denis Gurianov getting his mojo back. (They’re also willing to publicly ask David Castillo to do their analytics work for them.) In this episode: Tyler Seguin’s big return to form, the

The Dallas Stars are cooking along this season so far, to the point where you might have even forgotten how much the NHL salary cap has affected their every move. But how long will that last? Hockey insider Sean Shapiro joins Taylor and Mark to discuss the Stars’ business, on and off the ice. In this episode, they kick around: where the Stars will get their revenue in the future, why Ty Dellandrea is the Stars story that should get more attention, why Joel Hanley may have the safest berth of any

Opening Shots

2022/10/21

The Dallas Stars kicked off their season with three consecutive wins against Central Division opponents – which we might think of as the hockey equivalent of jumping off a Marshall stack into a bank of flash-bang stage effects. It’s nice to see, but can they keep doing it? Can they do it again after an inevitable fallow period during a long season? And does it mean Pete DeBoer’s new system is working? Are the Stars...good? Mark and Taylor teamed up just before the overtime loss in Toronto to check

In the long run, an NHL team is about as good as its prospect pipeline. So where does that leave the Dallas Stars? A long look at their AHL (and ECHL) operations could offer some answers. Stephen Meserve, head honcho of 100 Degree Hockey and a leading light in Texas Stars analysis, joins Mark and Taylor to examine the current lineup and the coming season. And it’s just in time for the season opener! In this episode: Can the T-Stars strike the right balance of young talent and veteran leadership? How

Making The Cut

2022/10/03

The Dallas Stars have traded blows with some of their biggest Central Division rivals during the preseason to date. In the process, they’ve shown us glimpses of what they’re trying to become under head coach Pete DeBoer. Now comes the big question: Do you like where this team is at? Wes, Mark, and Juraj stayed up late just to talk about the underrated, the injury-prone, and the over-under on the opening-night squad. In this episode: When will Jason Robertson be back, realistically? What will the

The Dallas Stars marked the unofficial start of the new hockey season with the 2022 Traverse City NHL Prospect Tournament. What does the future hold for fans of the Victory Green Gang? Mark Zimmerman and Derek Neumeier were there, and lucky for us, they’re ready to share. They’ve examined the sure things, the sleepers, and the dark horses, and they talk about what they saw in this episode: What did we learn about the Stars’ depth from the Traverse City tournament?

Sometimes, being a Dallas Stars fan means rolling with the punches. So why not get a little sparring practice in before the season starts? Welcome to the Doomcast! Wes, Mark and Tyler leaned waaaay into the worst cases for our latest upload (with only one area ruled off-limits), and even reached as far as bankruptcy just to get the edgelord points. In this edition: What if the Stars can’t find a way to replace John Klingberg? What if Jake Oettinger stumbles out of the gate? Has Dallas’ old

Are the Dallas Stars poised for greatness or on the precipice of disaster? Because the Victory Green Gang is Schrödinger’s Team, the correct answer is always “Both, and at the same time.” But this week, Wes, Mark and Tyler are focusing on happy thoughts and good things. Mostly. In this episode: On a scale of Shea Weber to Dustin Penner, how likely is it that the still-unsigned Jake Oettinger gets an offer sheet? On a scale of Andrei Vasilevskiy to Jordan Binnington, where does our potential

How do you rate the Dallas Stars’ offseason so far? Has the front office made the team better, or is there still too much hanging fire to provide the spark they need? Welcome to Stargazing, where the only offer-sheet discussion is the “don’t make me laugh” kind. In this edition, Wes and Mark kick around questions like these: What can we hope for from Colin Miller? What’s the next step for Miro Heiskanen? Will Thomas Harley get the shot at top-four action that was the putative reason the Stars

New coach, new lineup, new prospects...the Dallas Stars are, in many ways, a team at the crossroads. What kind of deals will they have to make to stay relevant and still keep their fanbase happy? Mike Piellucci and David Castillo, who are helping D Magazine put down stakes as a Dallas sportswriting destination, joined Wes and Mark earlier this week. For well over an hour, they talked about writing to bring fans in without dumbing things down, and how some of those lessons can apply to the Stars as

Future Considerations

What have the last few seasons of Dallas Stars hockey taught us? That speedy puck movers are the wave of the future (provided your team hasn’t decided to play throwback puck)? That right-handed defenders must be protected at all costs (until they aren’t)? That there’s never really a logjam in goal?... Derek Neumeier, head Western scout with FC Hockey and longtime Friend o’ DBD, joined Wes and Mark to talk about it.

The Bench Press

It’s mid-June already, and it may be safe to say that the Dallas Stars’ search for a new head coach is going to be longer and more comprehensive than rumor would lead us to believe. But what can we expect from the successful candidate...and how might the Stars’ definition of “successful candidate” differ from what you expect? Can the Stars find a bench boss who can integrate their veteran talent with the emerging potential of a new, young core? Or will Jason Robertson and Roope Hintz suffer the same

With most of the coaching staff now clearing out their lockers, what’s next for the Victory Green Gang? Wes, Taylor and Mark read the litmus test of the Rick Bowness era, as well as the tea leaves for the next bench crew. In this episode: How surprised should we be? Where will the Stars look for the next sheriff in town? What are the odds that a European coach gets a shot at rebooting the
