Game 24 AfterThoughts: A Happy Thanksgiving for the best road team in the NHL www.starsthoughts.com/p/game-24-af...

Casey DeSmith starts in Seattle. Mikko Rantanen is back after doing his time in the clink. Colin Blackwell is the scratch, Nathan Bastian earned a spot to play again.

Is there any way to interpret Bill Guerin's comments other than "Yeah, I don't really think players like Jason Robertson can play in big-time tournaments, so we won't be taking him even if he scores 50 goals by January"?

Dallas did a lot of things right, while Edmonton was mostly present for a hockey game in which Jamie Benn finally got to 400 www.starsthoughts.com/p/game-23-af...

This is a planned play, I assume.

Tyler Seguin should get credit for half of this goal (assuming he called bank):

Zach Hyman disagreed with this holding call.

Lian Bichsel has submitted a polite request for Adam Henrique to Refrain from Doing That any more.

Dallas just refusing to shoot unless they get the best looks, and they got the best looks.

Did the Canucks move to Edmonton or something

Nate Bastian just running roughshod over the, uh, Edmonton Oilers. (This was a high stick and didn't count, but still.)

Jason Robertson setting up Heiskanen, and Hintz cleans up. Power play goal.

Jamie Benn #400

Per Mike Heika, the Stars are doing this tonight: Robertson-Hintz-Seguin Steel-Johnston-Benn Back-Hryckowian-Bourque Blackwell-Faksa-Bastian Lindell-Heiskanen Bichsel-Petrovic Kolyachonok-Capobianco Oettinger

Stars will wear the new ‘99 sweaters twelve times this year. First time this Friday.

Let's take a look at everything we know when it comes to the possibility and design of a new Dallas Stars alternate jersey (sweater) www.starsthoughts.com/p/a-few-thou...

This seems quite suggestive

Canada has some things just plain figured out.

Former Stars defenseman Brendan Smith signed a one-year contract in Columbus today. So good to see him get one more shot.

Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

Some thoughts on Mikko Rantanen, etc etc etc www.starsthoughts.com/p/some-thoug...

Brad Alberts is doing the eyes on Twitter. Stay tuned.

“Ithilien, the garden of Gondor now desolate kept still a dishevelled dryad loveliness.” This stuff has kind of ruined me for modern fantasy. Good heavens.

Rantanen indeed gets a one-game suspension from the DoPS.

AfterThoughts: Mikko Rantanen has had better weeks www.starsthoughts.com/p/game-22-af...

Rantanen gets five and a game for boarding on Coronato. Honestly, feels like Coronato pulled up a bit here, but the result was awful, with Coronato bleeding heavily.

all good, I guess

"Hey, could you take care of this real quick CATCH"

Ehh, sure, call a penalty I guess

Per Mike Heika (he's cool), the Stars' warmup lines look like this in Calgary: Robertson-Hintz-Seguin Steel-Johnston-Rantanen Back-Hryckowian-Bourque Benn-Faksa-Blackwell Lindell-Heiskanen Bichsel-Petrovic Kolyachonok-Capobianco DeSmith

Matt Duchene participated in the morning skate today in Calgary, but will not play tonight and continues to be "day-to-day." Here's Stars head coach Glen Gulutzan on Duchene's status: #TexasHockey | #Flames | #DALvsCGY

Per Mike Heika, Casey DeSmith is starting in goal tonight in Calgary, Alberta (it’s in Canada).

Thoughts on the goaltending so far this year, as well as the Stars' 5v5 offense not translating from the regular season to the playoffs www.starsthoughts.com/p/the-good-a...

By the way, the Dallas Stars Foundation is doing a pet calendar this year in partnership with Tyler and Kate Seguin's new charity, Operation Kindness. I have it on good authority that the pictures in this calendar are incredible. dallas-stars-foundation.square.site/product/cale...

Here's the NHL release on Rantanen's fine for embellishment:

Mikko Rantanen was fined $2,000 today for embellishment in game last night vs. Vancouver. This is second incident this season he's been flagged by league for embellishment, after also getting cited for dive vs Ottawa on Nov. 11

Game 21 AfterThoughts: So three guys named Jake, Mikko, and Colin walk into a British Columbia hockey rink www.starsthoughts.com/p/game-21-af...

Mikko Rantanen is really good.

we've all had days like this

sometimes it's like that

bonk

Jamie Benn might have broken like fifty mirrors over the summer or something

This graphic from Victory+ is pretty stunning.

Mike Heika says Benn is starting with Faksa and Blackwell again, with Steel up top. So if same as Tuesday, they'll start with: Steel-Johnston-Rantanen Robertson-Hintz-Seguin Bäck-Hryckowian-Bourque Benn-Faksa-Blackwell Lindell-Heiskanen Capobianco-Kolyachonok Bichsel-Petrovic Oettinger in goal

I can't decide if this is good or bad or just scary, but it is absolutely very funny, to me: The Avs generate the exact same amount of terrifying offense with Cale Makar as they do without him.

Ten years ago, Ralph and Razor called their last Stars game. Over the past week, they've found their way back to one another. Wonderful words from @tiffin.bsky.social on a reunion everyone has been hoping to see for quite some time. www.dmagazine.com/sports/2025/...

Through 20 games, this year's Stars team feels different, both from prior years and from other teams in Dallas. Let's talk about egos and thumos and Taylor Fedun. www.starsthoughts.com/p/some-thoug...
