The Dallas Stars beat the Seattle Kraken 3–1 in a game that peaked in minute four and coasted into irrelevance from there. Casey DeSmith continued his absurd backup goalie dominance, Wyatt Johnston extended his goal streak by doing literally everything himself, and Jamie Benn is still stuck at 399 goals—but hey, vibes. Ryan, Chris, and James recap the Stars' perfect West Coast trip, assess playoff positioning anxiety, and hand out our patented Biggest Winner and Biggest Loser awards.

The Stars are back in the playoffs—and this time, they made a statement.

Ryan and Chris recap the Dallas Stars’ dominant 5–1 win over the Seattle Kraken, breaking down why this may have been their most complete game in weeks. From Rantanen finally catching fire to Wyatt Johnston casually being elite on the third line, the vibes are peaking at the perfect time.

The guys also discuss Oettinger’s bounce-back brilliance, the impact of DeBoer’s 11 forward–7 defensemen lineup gamble, and what Miro’s return means for a team suddenly looking like a legitimate Cup contender. And yes, someone really tried to fight Bicshel. It went as expected.

No drama, just dominance. Playoff mode: engaged.

The Dallas Stars grab two points in Edmonton — but it wasn’t pretty. Ryan, Chris, and James break down a chaotic 4–3 win over the McDavid- and Draisaitl-less Oilers, where Jake Ottinger once again played superhero to bail out another sluggish start.

We dissect the game period-by-period:

• A disastrous first that felt like déjà vu (spoiler: it was),

• A dominant second led by Jason Robertson and an active forecheck,

• And a third period that spiraled thanks to brutal penalties, questionable officiating, and coasting Stars hockey.

The boys debate whether this team is actually improving or just riding elite goaltending, question the referees’ life choices, and discuss what’s still plaguing Dallas — zone exits, defensive structure without Miro Heiskanen, and inconsistent effort.

Plus:

• Is it time to worry about playoff readiness?

• Does Rantanen need new linemates?

• And why does Corey Perry still haunt our nightmares?

Biggest Winner/Loser makes its triumphant return, with praise for Ottinger, Robertson, and Wyatt Johnston — and absolutely no love for the three stars of the game voting.

The Dallas Stars finally looked like, well… the Dallas Stars again. In this episode, we break down their 3–0 shutout over the Minnesota Wild, featuring a chef’s kiss performance from Jake Oettinger, who stopped all 32 shots and officially re-entered his “Otter Space” era.

Mikko Rantanen took a puck to the face and got tougher, Wyatt Johnston channeled his inner Pavelski on the power play, and the new forward lines clicked better than a YouTube subscribe button. We dive into the surprise success of the Marchment–Robo swap, rave about special teams, and give flowers to Esa Lindell, Matt Dumba, and Leon Bichsel—our newly knighted “Wall of Meat.”

Also: penalty chaos, expected goals that make zero sense, and a brief existential crisis about face-puck montages.
Is this just a one-off win or a true momentum shift? And when Miro returns… who’s the odd D-man out?

Spoiler: it’s not CeCi. Stop asking.

In this solo episode of Starcastic Remarks, Ryan breaks down the Dallas Stars’ chaotic 3–2 overtime win over the Philadelphia Flyers — a game that extended the Stars’ point streak to four, yet felt anything but reassuring. Despite early goals from defensemen Harley and Lindell, the team’s continued struggles with defensive zone exits, turnovers, and overall puck management raised more questions than answers.

Ryan highlights the key moments, from Harley’s unlikely two-goal night (including the OT winner) to Jake Oettinger’s steady goaltending performance that kept Dallas in the fight. He also calls out the defensive structure — or lack thereof — that’s been plaguing the team since Miro Heiskanen’s injury, and offers some spirited takes on what’s really holding the Stars back as the playoffs approach.

With passionate listener call-ins, sharp analysis, and just enough fan frustration to keep things interesting, this episode balances optimism with accountability — a must-listen for diehards and newcomers alike.

The Dallas Stars lose 3–2 in a shootout to the Tampa Bay Lightning, despite an outstanding performance from goaltender Casey DeSmith. Ryan and Chris break down the game from the American Airlines Center, reacting to Pete DeBoer’s blunt postgame comments and the team’s lack of urgency. They analyze why the Stars’ top players—especially Mikko Rantanen and Roope Hintz—failed to show up, and why the fourth line and young defenseman Lian Bichsel stood out instead. Is it time to panic, or can this team still right the ship with the playoffs approaching?

Miro Heiskanen’s absence is becoming a major concern for the Dallas Stars as they approach the postseason. Originally labeled as a “week-to-week” injury, Heiskanen has now missed over a month, with no clear timeline for his return. In this episode, Ryan breaks down the latest updates—or lack thereof—on Heiskanen’s status and what it could mean for the Stars’ playoff chances.

How has his absence impacted the team’s defense and goaltending? Can Thomas Harley step up as a true No. 1 defenseman in his place? And if Heiskanen isn’t back for Game 1 of the playoffs, just how much trouble are the Stars in?

Ryan also analyzes the team’s recent struggles, including uninspired performances against Winnipeg and Colorado, and what the Stars need to do to regain their form before the postseason. Plus, a quick look at NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman’s latest press conference and a fun “Who Cares” segment ranking Ryan’s top Stars jerseys. (yes, the Mooterus makes an appearance)

Tune in for an in-depth breakdown of what’s ahead for the Stars as the playoffs draw closer.
