Four Dallas Stars scored last night! Unfortunately, two of them were playing for the Los Angeles Kings. That left Our Team with one point, another loss, and a lot to contemplate.

We here at Stargazing acknowledge our fault in this, mainly by making this season's Doom Cast so much longer than...well, every other cast we've done so far. In this episode, Wes and Mark pull back a little. There's plenty to like in the Stars' latest run of play (breakouts, neutral zone coverage, the power play), as well as plenty that still needs work (two words: penalty kill). We cover all of it in the time it'll take you to complete your afternoon commute. Probably. Maybe.

Do we need to end the "Esa Lindell is the Alex Ovechkin of Dylan Sambergs" talking point? We're Stargazing, and we're thinking about it. What's your take? Tell us at Defending Big D.

And please give us a rate, review or share wherever you listen. Welcome to the podcast. We love you.
