Stargazing: A Dallas Stars Puckcast | Defending Big D

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, too, after you listen. In this edition of Stargazing:

• • What's really the problem with the power play?

• • How close is Nils Lundkvist to becoming a top-four defender?

• • Has Dallas found...wait for it!...a fourth line that can also score?

• • Why must you be this tall to play on a line with Evgenii Dadonov?

• • And what we will do with TV On The Radio this week?

This week's highlight videos are brought to you by Matt Duchene – and by a regular DBD'er, who provided the feedback that prompted these choices. Schluck, please claim your gift basket!

Here is Mark's pick – the Mason Marchment goal against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

And Wes brings in another big-brain play from the same game.

You know the pass is coming. You just have to know what to do with it. Here at Stargazing, that's what we're all about. Join us, won't you?
