It's a good thing the Dallas Stars keep winning games, or you might be worried about them. Here at Stargazing, we're happy to do the worrying for you, which is where Wes and Mark come in.

The 2023-23 Texas Stars may boast more genuine blue-chip prospects than they've ever had. They also have a diminished veteran presence and may struggle to reach the AHL playoffs. What shall we make of this conundrum? No reporter knows the Cedar Park system better than 100 Degree Hockey founder Stephen Meserve. And in this sit-down with Mark, he onc…

Isaiah, Chef and Dan welcome Anthony DiMarco from thefourthperiod.com as the Flyers have played above expectations during most of their 4-4-1 start to the season. We focus in on some of the game dynamics, and the early lineup and roster moves with players such as Sam Ersson, Emil Andrae and especially, Morgan Frost. We also break down Cutter Gauthi…

The Dallas Stars endured their first regulation loss of the season last week. So yeah, it feels like a lot right now, because they're supposed to win all the time. You might like to think that the guys who gleefully post a regular Doomcast would be ready to pounce. But Wes and Mark have taken a much more measured approach – and we think you will, t…

The Dallas Stars haven't lost a single game in regulation in the 2023-24 season to date. They've gotten seven of eight available points. But don't worry – there's still plenty to keep a True Fan awake at night. Wes and Mark hear your cries, and that's only one reason why they're introducing a new gimmick feature for our humble puckcast. In this edi…

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.

It's that time of year when every team is undefeated and everything still seems possible. And here at Stargazing, we like where we're at.

The days grow short when you reach September, as the poet wrote. And as hockey season bears down on us like an out-of-control semi, life is going to come at you pretty fast, as another poet suggested.

The Dallas Stars have made some notable moves on this summer’s free-agent market, but so far the biggest headlines have surrounded GM Jim Nill. With a brand-new Jack Adams Award under his belt and two more years helming the ship in his future, that seems appropriate. Wes and Mark certainly thought so, and now they want to talk about why. In this ed…

At some point in Western Conference Final Game 3, the Dallas Stars quit playing like a team and started playing like individuals.

The Dallas Stars have made it halfway to the big show. Not bad for a team that was widely expected to miss the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs altogether.

Wes and Mark have been thinking about this matchu…

It's win-or-go-home time for the Dallas Stars, which means it's the same for a very tough opponent, the Seattle Kraken. What's gonna happen? (No, really...what is going to happen?!) Taylor Baird joined MC Wes Lawrence to go over the Stars' scenarios, and they had a lot to discuss in a short 30 minutes. In this episode: the case for a Victory Green …

The Dallas Stars are coming home from Washington with a tied series in their duffles. Can they take their first Round 2 lead over the Seattle Kraken, on home ice?

Three Round 1 wins in a row, taking the series in six...these Dallas Stars may actually be pretty good.

Wes, Mark and Tyler took a deep look into the team's performance and found plenty to talk about. In this episode: how the Vic…

The Dallas Stars organization has what we might call a good problem this season: Every team is positioned to make a big run at the top prize, and all of them want the best players for the effort. How does that shake out for the Austin Metro squad? Regular Stargazing co-host Mark Zimmerman invited back 100 Degree Hockey's Stephen Meserve for a long …

The Dallas Stars are back in Big D with Round 1 all tied up against the Minnesota Wild. How do they press home-ice advantage and get out of this series victorious?

The Dallas Stars are in, and this year, there are expectations. No more lucky-to-be-here vibes – this time, the Victory Green Gang is challenging. You may ask yourself...how did they get here?

Now that the Dallas Stars have secured their berth on the 2023 Stanley Cup train, fans have a whole new set of anxieties to mull over. Which matchups help, or hurt, the most?

It's a good time to be a Dallas Stars fan. Jason Robertson is officially the new Mike Modano. Jamie Benn and Joe Pavelski have renewed our faith in Veteran Savvy with record-breaking performances.
