The 2023-24 Dallas Stars are sitting on top of the world – or at least the Western Conference. Although you might be forgiven for not knowing it, because it seems hardly anybody wants to talk about a team with three (or four) scoring lines.

That leaves a select few, including Wes and Mark, to find the discussion points in this particularly well-balanced version of the Victory Green Gang. And this week, they get a timely assist from Taylor Baird, NHL.com contributor and our own longtime editor-in-chief. In this episode:

• a big win in British Columbia – and a taste of the Stanley Cup fight on the horizon,


• the return of Playoffs Jake Oettinger,


• the long tail of the Bennaissance,


• and so very much more.

The President's Trophy: a gift or a curse? (Bearing in mind that the last time the Stars won it, they also won the Cup.) Tell us in the comments, or DM us @WesALawrence or @KETibbetts over on the Default Font From The ’90s app. (We’re still there, usually.)

And please don’t forget to rate, review and share. We love you all, and we’ll love you even better during the playoffs.
