Do the Stars have what it takes to go all the way? That’s the question I’m trying to answer in my latest piece. Link in the thread!

No Bunting or Steel for the next week-ish so here’s your extra forward

A huge loss for DLLS; Sean is one of the best in the business. If you’re somehow following me and aren’t already familiar with his work, go ahead and subscribe to his Substack! You’ll be doing yourself a favor.

None of us on the DLLS Stars Podcast are happy with this decision. Sean brought a wonderful element to our show and he will be greatly missed. As they say: “the show must go on” and it will… but Sean unequivocally made it better. Hopefully, this is just temporary.

This is such a devastating blow to both Stars fans and just sports media in general. If you have the chance, go subscribe to Sean’s Substack because it’s always a good read (even if it makes you angrier when the stars are playing like 💩) @seanshapiro?r=1tk20a&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=stories&shareImageVariant=image" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@seanshapiro?r…

Toronto Maple Leafs will be eliminated from playoff contention tonight with a regulation loss at ANA and an #Isles point vs PIT. #MNWild (idle) can also clinch a playoff spot tonight with a #SJSharks regulation loss vs STL + #VegasBorn loss vs VAN in any fashion.

Dallas recalling Cameron Hughes from AHL Texas ensure they'll have 12 forwards for Tuesday's game in Boston against the Bruins--which is also the team for which Hughes's prior two career NHL games were played.

My run at DLLS is over. I had a blast in the last 18 months helping build the DLLS Stars show and I'm going to miss it. Here's some transparency on why, sports media, and why I still love this field. shapshotshockey.com/p/on-the-end-o…

I will never understand people that wanna expand the playoffs No we do not need the Seattle Kraken and Winnipeg Jets duking it out in game #85 to decide who gets swept by Colorado

Low-event hockey can make writing hard, but here goes. Talking Hyry's first NHL goal, Dallas's injury trouble, and some concerns I have with the club's recent stretch! open.substack.com/pub/zachspanha…

About as low event hockey as you can get. It all ends with a rather nothing bid from Zegras that goes off of Miro's stick and through DeSmith's five hole. Stars skate away with a point to hit triple digits again. Thoughts coming soon!

The points are shared and it's off to 3-on-3 overtime tied up at 1-1. Dallas has secured a 100-point campaign for the 4th straight season and the 13th time since moving to Texas. #TexasHockey

Ersson absolutely robbed Wyatt Johnston. Incredible puck movement to capitalize on the Flyers' failed clear.

Couldn't ask for a better power-play opportunity than this!

Very impressed with Denver Barkey's game tonight. Not often that a player on the other team relatively unknown to me stands out like he has today.

Hang it on the mantle! Congrats, Arttu 🤠

Need someone in the Stars organization (Dallas or Texas) to start playing the R2D2 scream when Hyry scores...

ARTTUUUUUUUUUUUU

This is probably the most PDO-panicked coaching change in NHL history.

Since the Olympic break, Vegas rank 3rd in 5v5 xGoal share, shot share, and shot attempt share. They've also allowed the fewest shots against per 60 and the 3rd-fewest xGoals against. They are last in shooting % (6.8%), second-last in save % (86.9%) and last in PDO (93.7)

Myers back out there now with Bichsel.
