DLLS Dallas Stars Podcast

Check out Fran Duffy’s 2026 Diehard Draft Guide! https://alldlls.com/draftguide26/ Are the Dallas Stars built differently this year or are the same concerns creeping back in? The crew dives into the balance between physicality, intensity, and discipline, and how last season’s “too soft” narrative may have impacted this team’s identity. From playoff lessons to coaching adjustments, the Stars are trying to find the right mix, not too passive, not too reckless. With recent struggles triggering fan PTSD from last year’s late-season dip, the question becomes: have the Stars finally developed that switch they can flip when it matters most? Plus, Dallas beat writer Mike Heika weighs in, offering insight into the team’s mindset, coaching adjustments, and how accountability is already showing up on the ice with players like Jason Robertson responding.

Check out Fran Duffy’s 2026 Diehard Draft Guide! https://alldlls.com/draftguide26/ Now THAT was more like the Dallas Stars hockey we’ve grown accustomed to this season! Returning to American Airlines Centers after a four-game East Coast road trip and a stretch with just one win in their last seven (1-4-2), the Stars brought back the emotion and intensity into their game against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night that head coach Glen Gulutzan had challenged his group to rediscover after a lackluster two weeks of play. We have a special guest in-studio today, as our friend Mike Heika, senior writer for Dallas Stars-dot-com, joins us to talk about this challenge and response. We’ll also look at Jake Oettinger’s play this season, especially since the Olympic break. Then we’ll dive into Jim Nill’s contract extension, Rich Peverley’s promotion to assistant general manager and AGM Scott White being linked to the Nashville Predators GM search. We’ll finish things off with a look at the up-to-date NHL playoff races in both conferences.

Check out Fran Duffy’s 2026 Diehard Draft Guide! https://alldlls.com/draftguide26/ Jake Oettinger stopped all 22 shots he faced to earn his third shutout of the season as the Dallas Stars blanked the Winnipeg Jets 3-0 on Thursday night at American Airlines Center. With the win, the Stars earned a four-game sweep of the regular season series with the Jets, the second time Dallas has done that (2015-16, 2025-26) since the Jets relocated from Atlanta. Arttu Hyry and Adam Erne each had two-point nights (1 goal, 1 assist) and Matt Duchene scored a power play goal.

Check out Fran Duffy’s 2026 Diehard Draft Guide! https://alldlls.com/draftguide26/ The Dallas Stars limped home, literally, from a four-game Eastern Conference road trip where they went 1-2-1 and lost four players due to injury (Sam Steel, Nathan Bastian, Michael Bunting & Tyler Myers). While the Stars had a legitimate chance to win each of the four games, they were up against teams that were playing with a much higher level of urgency due to their respective playoff race standings and Dallas seemed to have trouble matching that intensity. So, that leads us to the topic that, other than needing time for some injured players to recover, it seems like the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs cannot get here fast enough. Also on today’s show, we look at Jake Oettinger’s & Casey DeSmith’s performance in games on the second night of a back-to-back, along with a hilarious flashback clip from last Sunday’s DLLS Stars Pregame Show. Plus, we’ll talk Jim Nill’s contract extension, Toronto fires GM Brad Treliving, Vegas fires head coach Bruce Cassidy and hires John Tortorella and if we have any time left, Alex Ovechkin breaks even more records and is chasing another Wayne Gretzky record.
