Doom & Gloom or Everything’s Fine? What’s Wrong With the Stars | Episode 7-031 | January 21st, 2026
Are the Dallas Stars spiraling — or is the panic completely overblown?
Ryan and Chris tackle the biggest question surrounding the Stars right now: Is this team still a Stanley Cup contender, or are recent struggles exposing real flaws? With the fanbase split between optimism and frustration, the guys unpack what’s actually happening beneath the surface.
Topics include:
- Why the Stars’ slump feels different than previous seasons
- Coaching philosophy changes and their impact on consistency
- Motivation vs. “locked-in” play during the regular season
- Secondary scoring issues and five-on-five concerns
- Lessons from the Boston win
- Trade deadline speculation and realistic roster upgrades
- Jason Robertson’s future and why Artemi Panarin rumors are complicated
It’s a grounded, honest conversation meant to pull Stars fans back from the ledge — or at least explain why the ledge feels so close.
