Description

At some point in Western Conference Final Game 3, the Dallas Stars quit playing like a team and started playing like individuals. It would have been easy to give up on them when adversity struck early in Game 4...and yet here we are, with Game 5 on the horizon.

Wes and Mark took a moment to disassemble the Voltron of disaster that culminated in Tuesday night's breakdown, and what the Victory Green Gang must to do to avoid a gentleman's sweep as the series returns to Las Vegas. In this episode:

• why the Stars have caught more pipes than nets against the Golden Knights,
• why we need to talk about Jake Oettinger,
• why Jamie Benn's shocking lapse in judgment may have felt inevitable,
• the importance of trust, or the lack of it,
• the reappearance of Regular-Season Robo, and the prospect of Dallas' best scorer beginning to score in bunches again,
• what this postseason will mean for Roope Hintz, no matter the final result,
• the long, long odds against a meaningful comeback,
• and the signs of hope – however small – that we might at least get a Game 6.

It's time to ask yourself what you believe. It's time...for Stargazing. Brought to you by our good friends at the Green Team, Greening Law, P.C.
