The Dallas Stars’ postseason to date isn’t made up of especially pretty strokes, but it’s pretty much impossible not to like the whole picture so far. Wes, Taylor and Rob sat down to discuss what the Victory Green Gang has done right during the past two victories over the Calgary Flames. In this episode: Are the Stars actually, really built for the Stanley Cup playoffs? How have they managed to keep the Flames from converting their superior possession metrics into useful offense? When will Roope

“Dallas Stars hockey at its best” means different things at different times. Sometimes it means a cry of pain after another missed opportunity. The Victory Green Gang should have scored at least two victories during their last road trip, and yet they came home with none. What are we supposed to think? Wes and Mark contemplate whether our team will rise to the occasion or choke another postseason away during the next few days. In this episode: Does goal differential really matter? Or at least matter

Point Of No Return

The NHL season’s no-going-back moment is here. Will the Dallas Stars fail all their open quests if they proceed? Yes, we’re talking about the push for the playoffs, yet again. But this time, Robert Tiffin is back to join Wes Lawrence and Mark Zimmerman. If anyone can game this out, it’s them. Please note that this cast was recorded before the NHL trade deadline. (And it’s KT’s fault that we haven’t posted it until now. It happens.) With that said... How much has the team missed Miro Heiskanen? Has

We’ve said it over and over again, but the Dallas Stars really are a team for whom anything – whether good or bad – seems possible. With that said, their recent run of play has even the stats gurus liking their chances for the 2022 Stanley Cup race. Wes and Mark have been watching the Stars’ progress as closely as anyone, and they spent another evening examining the case. In this episode: Did the recent road trip give the Stars enough momentum to challenge for one of the Central Division’s

Texas Stars Update - Spring 2022

2022/02/18

Expecting the unexpected is a prerequisite of true Dallas Stars fandom. And the trait of consistent inconsistency runs in the hockey family. Back in 2021 preseason, the Texas Stars were shaping up to be a potential superpower in the AHL’s Central Division. Since then...well, life happened. Stephen Meserve, editor and mastermind of 100 Degree Hockey, joined Mark and Taylor this week to discuss the season so far, and the outlook for the Stars’ prospects.

How long can the Dallas Stars try to be who they say they are before they give up and become what their best players are capable of being? It’s an open question, and one Wes and Mark decided to explore during this week of contrasts. We didn’t want this to be a miserycast. Fortunately, there was plenty to compare and contrast between Sunday’s big win and Tuesday’s insanely frustrating loss. In this episode: What, specifically, did the Stars do right against the Boston Bruins? Has Tyler Seguin

Believe it or not, the Dallas Stars...actually had a pretty good January. So does this mean we start planning the parade, or what, or...? Wes and Mark sifted through the facts and found some Victory Green shoots, as well as the usual omens. In this episode: Eight points in five games...are the Stars really and truly on the upswing? Has Alexander Radulov shaken off the last of the post-surgery rust and activated? And if so, could this mean that a second (third?) scoring line has finally arrived? Are

Wes, Taylor, Trent and Mark got together after the previous disaster at home to discuss the Stars’ organizational identity crisis. In this episode: What’s the alternative to just giving up and wallowing in a bad stretch of hockey? Pulling out the popcorn and hoping for maximum chaos?

The Dallas Stars have a way of making you want to swear even after a victory. And when you think about the John Klingberg situation, it’s pretty easy to want to swear all day, every day. (What even...? What the hockey sticks...?) Wes, David, Tyler and Mark have a salty word or two about the team, and this time, they feel like sharing. In this episode: Can the Stars just play all their games at home from now on? Alternatively, can they just clone Joe Pavelski and Sons? Can they, once and for all, get

We’re about to find out, because Wes and Mark welcome a brand-new panelist to a new year at the best Stars podcast. Trent joins us for...well, another evening of the same old stuff we’ve been discussing for months, but now there’s a new body on the line, which makes it different.

You ask how we know about Dallas Stars hockey? Well, we spent a week there one day. Wes, Taylor and Mark reflect on the month’s worth of news the Victory Green Gang made in the past 96 hours or so. In this must-listen edition: Are the Stars the most dramatic team in the NHL, or is it just that the drama tends to be concentrated in big clumps? Was it a good idea to give Ben Bishop one last shot at a return from injury? Was Anton Khudobin’s contract extension absolutely necessary? What can we expect

A November To Remember

The Dallas Stars have been winning, a lot. And as is our way, we’ve found both good and bad news in that. Wes and Mark take a moment to enjoy the Stars’ improved outlook, but they still find the same old issues persisting. Will the Victory Green Gang ever shake their habit of playing all their hockey in the first 40 minutes? Can they balance their offensive effort across all three periods without relying on a goalie having a .930 game? In this edition, we look at all of this and more: Is there such

Can the Dallas Stars continue their nascent winning streak tonight against the Minnesota Wild? It may depend on whether they try to beat scoring with scoring. Wes and Mark think the Victory Green Gang needs to expect to win. And they devoted our latest podcast to talking about how the Stars go about accruing points against the Central Division rivals who happen to be ahead of them.

What was that quote about best-laid plans? We’re not sure, but we think it means sometimes you have to cancel bedtime so you can figure out what the Texas Stars, other than that the organization sees him as Jake Oettinger’s future backup anyway? Where would this team be if it didn’t have Miro Heiskanen scoring a point per game? And what happens the next time this team takes the ice? “A weaker man might be moved to re-examine his faith, if in nothing else at least in the law of probability.” Are you

The Dallas Stars have the same number of regulation wins in 2021-22 as the Arizona Coyotes, and one fewer than the Chicago Blackhawks. Yeah, it’s discouraging. But, at nine games in, has it done actual damage? And can they reverse their own fortunes as they continue their swing through Western Canada – a traditional bonding experience that tends to produce good effects that don’t necessarily show up during the trip? Wes and Mark sat down for a quick gut check on the Victory Green Gang’s progress
