Game 6 was absolute madness—and not in a good way. The Dallas Stars fell 7–4 in the most chaotic playoff game we’ve seen in years.

Ryan, Chris, and James try to make sense of a game that made no sense: own goals, fluky bounces, dominant top-line play, and Otter doing everything he could to steal the win.

We talk:
• Why the Stars’ depth disappeared at the worst time
• How Duchene’s invisibility act continues
• Rantanen and Hintz turning into superhumans
• And why Game 7 will define this team

All of that, plus: the Biggest Winner and Biggest Loser of the night (yes, Sam Steel... we see you).

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? Ryan, Chris, and James break down all things Stars-Avalanche, including:

– The surprising play of Dallas’ blue line
– Jake Oettinger’s villain energy and playoff form
– Avalanche chemistry problems (MacKinnon barking, Makar quiet, depth disappearing)
– Who’s actually showing up for the Stars? (Wyatt Johnston vs. Duchene, anyone?)

Plus, the guys take a trip around the NHL:

– Are the Leafs actually about to blow a 3–0 lead?
– Panthers take Tampa to the woodshed
– Connor Hellebuyck: elite at home, haunted on the road
– The Wild suddenly don’t look that wild after all

Who’s trending, who’s unraveling, and who’s got that clutch gene?

Game 5 was a statement. 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.
