Starcastic Remarks-The Only Dallas Stars Fan-Led Podcast

Ryan and Chris hand out final grades for every Dallas Stars forward in the 2024–25 season — and let's just say some of these report cards got messy. From Mikko Rantanen's playoff heroics to Matt Duchene's postseason disappearance, the guys break down who showed up, who didn't, and what it all means heading into 2025–26. Other hot topics: Is Jason Robertson really worth $12M per year? Why Rope Hintz and Wyatt Johnston still haven't unlocked their full potential Jim Nill's cleanup of the Dumba deal — smart move or expensive mistake? Stars' insane 2025–26 schedule breakdown The Sam Steel Top 6 experiment (???) Plus, Granlund nostalgia, Jamie Benn's regression, and a brief Stars Fan Stories shoutout.

Recorded June 26th, 2025 In this episode of Stars Fan Stories, Ryan sits down with Matthew Franke, a lifelong Dallas Stars fan whose love for the team began with NHL video games and took shape through unforgettable moments—from minor league brawls in Corpus Christi to playoff highs and heartbreaks at the AAC. Matthew recounts: His first Stars game and why Mike Modano was the GOAT Watching playoff hockey with non-hockey friends His Game 7 experience vs. the Kraken Why Mark Stone tops his irrational hatred list And the time he met Otter, Robo, Wyatt Johnston, Marty Turco, and Mike Modano This episode is full of laughs, memories, and raw fan emotion. Whether you've been a Stars fan since the '99 Cup or just hopped on during the Hintz era, this one's for you.

Ryan and James tackle two glaring holes in the Dallas Stars' current lineup: the second line left wing and the number four defenseman. With departures like Marchment and Dadonov, the Stars face major questions going into next season. Can internal options, among others, like Wyatt Johnston, Mavrik Bourque, Sam Steel, and Nils Lundkvist step up? Or are we asking too much? We also debate if Thomas Harley could command a bigger contract than Miro Heiskanen, and we touch on Gavin McKenna's shocking $700K NIL deal with Penn State—and what that means for the future of college and junior hockey development. All that and more, including some spicy optimism and cautious skepticism. Subscribe, rate us 5 stars, and join us every week for more unfiltered Stars talk.

Recorded June 27, 2025 Tee Haynes isn't your typical Dallas Stars fan. Born in Australia, living in Vancouver, and never having set foot in Texas, Tee somehow became a diehard Stars supporter thanks to NHL ‘99 and one fateful trip to a hockey jersey shop. In this week's Stars Fan Stories, Ryan sits down with Tee to hear about his international hockey journey, his Olympic work in Vancouver, and what it's like being a Stars fan surrounded by Canucks. Tee opens up about: His favorite Stars from the Cup era and today What Jamie Benn means to him The Western Conference Final experience in Edmonton How Aussie grit meets Texas hockey loyalty

The Dallas Stars introduced Glen Gulutzan as their new head coach, and his press conference delivered a clear vision: collaboration, flexibility, and a ramp-up in physicality. Ryan and James break down Gulutzan's comments, what they reveal about the coaching staff, and how this shift might reshape the team's playoff readiness. Then they dive into NHL free agency news, from Mitch Marner's blockbuster move to Vegas to Florida's miracle re-signings and a handful of eyebrow-raising deals.

Game 6 is here, and the Stars are one win away from advancing—but the big mystery remains: Is Miro Heiskanen coming back, or is his injury worse than we thought?

The Dallas Stars dismantled the Colorado Avalanche 6–2 in their best performance of the series so far. Wyatt Johnston opened the scoring nine seconds in, Jake Oettinger stole the first period, and Mikko Rantanen and Roope Hintz finally broke through. In this episode, Ryan, Chris, and James react to: Johnston's two-goal breakout and captain-level leadership Oettinger's clutch performance under pressure The shutdown defensive effort (and a surprising nod to Petrovic) Why Cale Makar and the Avs' top pairing might be in their heads A brutally honest take on the refs and special teams Plus: Who's the biggest winner and biggest loser of the night? And should Blackwood or Wedgewood start Game 6? This is one of the most complete games we've seen from Dallas all postseason—and it might have just shifted the entire series.

The Dallas Stars drop their sixth straight game in a 6–4 loss to the Detroit Red Wings, and Ryan is officially spiraling. Chris, on the other hand, brings the “Who Cares?” energy, arguing this game was basically a preseason scrimmage with logos. In this episode, we break down another third-period collapse, wonder what the Stars are doing resting key players while Oettinger gets shelled, and debate whether this team is actually ready to face Colorado in Round 1. We also talk about lineup choices like Wyatt Johnston's new role, Colin Blackwell vs. Mavrik Bourque, and whether Dallas should even entertain the idea of an 11-7 lineup (spoiler: no).

In their historic* first loss to the Utah Hockey Club (*for Utah, not Dallas), Ryan and Chris break down what happens when your penalty kill forgets to show up — and so does your defense. With Esa Lindell, Thomas Harley, and Jake Oettinger all resting up for the postseason, the Stars treated this game like the second preseason it truly was. We dive into Matt Dumba somehow being the best defenseman on the ice (yes, really), Brendan Smith scoring a feel-good goal, and Jamie Benn continuing his cursed pursuit of #400. Plus: thoughts on Liam Bischel's nerves, Petrovic's audition, and why the penalty kill was MIA. The Avalanche are locked in for Round 1. Landeskog is lurking. Sagan and Miro might return. Oh, and the flu is sweeping the locker room... great timing, boys. So if you're wondering whether the Stars are ready for the playoffs — well — join us as we try to find out.

From blog post deep dives to advanced stat breakdowns, we tackle what's actually going wrong and whether it can be fixed in time for a deep run.

In one of the most jaw-dropping collapses in NHL history, the Dallas Stars blew a 3-goal lead in the final minute of regulation to the Vancouver Canucks — and somehow managed to lose 6–5 in overtime. The Stars had a 99.9% chance to win according to Moneypuck. And they still lost. Chris, James, and Ryan are here to process the disaster in real time — and Ryan might need therapy after this one. We break down the third-period meltdown, the leadership vacuum, Pete DeBoer's postgame reaction, and Jamie Benn's baffling comments. Was this the most embarrassing loss in franchise history? Probably.

The Dallas Stars lose 3–2 in overtime to the Minnesota Wild, and honestly… no one should be surprised. In this episode of Starcastic Remarks, Ryan dives into the mess that was Sunday's game: a lifeless third period, an OT collapse, and the continuation of a frustrating trend that's been brewing for weeks. The Wild came out looking like a team desperate to make the playoffs. The Stars? Like they were desperate for a nap. Despite an early goal from Jason Robertson and a game-tying point shot from Thomas Harley, Dallas was outskated, outworked, and frankly outclassed—again. And with the playoffs around the corner, the warning lights are blinking red. Ryan unpacks the lazy penalties (including Robo's forehead-slapper), the complete lack of urgency, and why Dallas fans have every right to be concerned heading into the postseason.

Despite a surprise hat trick from Evgenii Dadonov and another lights-out performance from Casey DeSmith, defensive blunders turned the third period into a self-inflicted implosion. We dive into:

In this episode, Chris and James break down Dallas' explosive 5–1 win over Nashville, fueled by actual effort, filthy passing plays, and yet another casually dominant performance from Jake Oettinger. We cover: The nightmare first period (featuring an invisible power play!)

The Dallas Stars finally looked like, well… the Dallas Stars again. In this episode, we break down their 3–0 shutout over the Minnesota Wild, featuring a chef's kiss performance from Jake Oettinger, who stopped all 32 shots and officially re-entered his “Otter Space” era. Mikko Rantanen took a puck to the face and got tougher, Wyatt Johnston channeled his inner Pavelski on the power play, and the new forward lines clicked better than a YouTube subscribe button. We dive into the surprise success of the Marchment–Robo swap, rave about special teams, and give flowers to Esa Lindell, Matt Dumba, and Leon Bichsel—our newly knighted “Wall of Meat.” Also: penalty chaos, expected goals that make zero sense, and a brief existential crisis about face-puck montages.Is this just a one-off win or a true momentum shift?

In this solo episode of Starcastic Remarks, Ryan breaks down the Dallas Stars' chaotic 3–2 overtime win over the Philadelphia Flyers — a game that extended the Stars' point streak to four, yet felt anything but reassuring. Despite early goals from defensemen Harley and Lindell, the team's continued struggles with defensive zone exits, turnovers, and overall puck management raised more questions than answers. Ryan highlights the key moments, from Harley's unlikely two-goal night (including the OT winner) to Jake Oettinger's steady goaltending performance that kept Dallas in the fight. He also calls out the defensive structure — or lack thereof — that's been plaguing the team since Miro Heiskanen's injury, and offers some spirited takes on what's really holding the Stars back as the playoffs approach. With passionate listener call-ins, sharp analysis, and just enough fan frustration to keep things interesting, this episode balances optimism with accountability — a must-listen for diehards and newcomers alike.
