Welcome to Starcastic Scribbles, my ongoing therapy session disguised as a Dallas Stars blog post series for the 2025-2026 season. After every game, I jot down my sarcastic, emotional, and hopefully insightful thoughts from the chaos that unfolds on…
If you caught our recent live episode from June 10th (Will Jason Robertson Be Traded?) you know this was one of the most passionate, loaded, and frankly eye-opening conversations we’ve had on the podcast in a while. And if you didn’…
Stars fans — brace yourselves. There’s a bold offseason plan on the table that could completely reshape this team… but it comes with one massive ‘what if.’ The catch? It only happens if Jason Robertson is traded. Yes, …
"I was shocked." That was the first thing I thought and the first thing I said when Jim Nill stepped up to the mic and announced that Pete DeBoer had been fired as head coach of the Dallas Stars. Yes, I’d been critical. Yes, I’d called …
I’m sitting here staring at the screen, trying to make sense of what I just watched. But if I’m being honest, I’ve got nothing left to hold onto. The Dallas Stars are down 3-1 in this series against the Edmonton Oilers, and after t…
I’m writing this because, honestly, I really want to respond to every Oilers fan on X (formerly Twitter) who’s out here gatekeeping the sport, calling Roope Hintz “soft” or a “diver,” and acting like hockey belong…
Dallas Should Ditch the Moose Moniker for Mikko Mikko Rantanen has lit the city of Dallas, the state of Texas, and the entire NHL on fire. He has 14 points in the Stars’ last four games. That includes back-to-back hat tricks in Game 7 …
There are bad games. There are embarrassing games. And then there’s what happened on April 8th, 2025, against the Vancouver Canucks. The Dallas Stars gave up three goals in the final minute to lose in overtime, 6–5, in a game that will …
This weekend's back-to-back left much to be desired, but is it predictive of failure come playoff time? That was an incredibly disappointing weekend, and since I did not get a chance to voice my displeasure via my standard medium, you are b…
The Dallas Stars continued their impressive run with a dramatic 2-1 shootout victory over the Montreal Canadiens, extending their winning streak to seven games. In a game that showcased resilience, skill, and depth, the Stars emerged victorious desp…
Image: Credit to Dan Hickling In my last blog post, I went into detail about why I think Ryan O'Reilly would be a perfect fit for the Dallas Stars. Now, we're going to dive into what a potential trade between Dallas and Nashville could or would loo…
Ryan O’Reilly has built his career on consistency, leadership, and an elite two-way game. For the Dallas Stars, a team poised for a deep playoff run and in need of a player to fill the void left by Joe Pavelski, O’Reilly could be the mis…
To say that the Dallas Stars are facing challenges on the power play this season is an extreme understatement. At the time I'm writing this at 1:07 AM on December 21st, they have the 32nd ranked powerplay at home (a.k.a. the absolute worst h…
It is absolutely a done deal. No question in my mind. Per multiple sources, the Coyotes have been informed that relocation to Salt Lake City is real.Now hearing it could actually be announced on April 17; the date of the Coyotes’ fi…
The title of this blog post is a bit misleading, because Nils Lundkvist is not the ONLY reason Chris Tanev became a Dallas Star. However, I don't believe the Stars would have gone out and acquired Chris Tanev if Lundkvist had taken the next step. I …
Lots of thought went into this one. Jani Hakanpaa blocked a slap shot in the 2nd period on a 5 on 3 penalty kill against the Edmonton Oilers, played the rest of the second period, but did not return to the game as Dallas played down a defen…
At the beginning of the third period in the game against the Colorado Avalanche, Miro Heiskanen collided with Scott Wedgewood in an attempt to make a defensive play. Watching the play in real time, both players got up and seemed to be okay. Then, th…
My major takeaways are back! The Stars pull off a shootout win over the St. Louis Blues by a final score of 2-1. I'm going to try to be more consistent with them this season. No matter how tired I am! Let's get right into it! Takeaway #1 - Hintz No…
With the most talented 'Yotes players still in Australia for the NHL Global Series, I knew that the Stars weren't going to put there best roster out there. Plus it's the first preseason game. But I was still not expecting the complete 7-0 schlacking…
Just a couple of thoughts as this week gets started and we get closer to the start of the school year and most importantly, closer to the start of the NHL regular season. Saad Yousuf of The Athletic recently tweeted (x-ed out? I don't know …
To be totally frank and honest with you, I was saddened last night because of the reaction we saw to the hit of Dumba on Pavs. I'm going to discuss the hit briefly, but I'm sick to my stomach watching social media discuss this whole incident. …
As I entered the stadium with a collared shirt rather than a victory green jersey, I could not help but feel a massive amount of imposter syndrome. We had already planned on going to the game and as a side thought decided to ask for m…
Been a while!! Life happens! Let's get into my MTs for this game. Not Capitalizing On Scoring Chances In 1st The Stars' lack of capitalizing on all of their chances they had in the 1st period is the biggest difference in tonight's game. Be…
This one is going to sting for a while. Literally a last second goal and then didn't control puck in overtime. Here's some of my takeaways! Just A Feeling I talked about this feeling on the after game review episode about the Stars leaning…
