Stargazing: A Dallas Stars Puckcast | Defending Big D

The 2023-24 NHL season is officially underway, and the Dallas Stars have emerged as heavy betting favorites for a strong run in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Therefore, every Stars fan should reflexively flinch and prepare for incoming fire.

Here at Stargazing, we believe in embracing the fear as a way to reduce its demonic power over us. That’s why Wes and Mark spent last night rummaging through the hurt locker for the second half of our season preview. (Also because they think it's fun. Go figure.) In this episode:

• why the defense really is the tire fire you think it is,

how the regression monster can still destroy your hopes if (when?) it catches the forward corps,
 
what happens if Jake Oettinger can't get enough rest during the back half,
 
the front-office decisions that could come back to bite the Stars' postseason hopes,
 
and why the Texas Stars can't bail out the big squad if shifts get real.
 

We’re not saying doom is the answer, but it usually asks the best questions. That's a fact...and this is Stargazing.

What are your biggest Big D worries? Speak them out loud at Defending Big D, or DM us on that other tire fire @WesALawrence or @KETibbetts. We'd love to bring them up in a future podcast.
