The Dallas Stars take a 2–1 series lead with a dominant 5–2 win over the Winnipeg Jets in Game 3. Ryan breaks down the action from just outside American Airlines Center as Chris and Ryan unpack Jake Oettinger’s brick wall performance, Mikko Rantanen’s continued playoff takeover, and a controversial good-goal call after an extended review. They also highlight clutch contributions from Thomas Harley, Wyatt Johnston, and unexpected hero Alex Petrovic. Plus, the boys rant about Marchment’s near-miss with discipline, evaluate Jamie Benn’s impact, and celebrate the Stars’ elite special teams.

The Jets put on a clinic and the Stars flatlined in Game 2. Ryan and James recap a frustrating 4–0 loss in Winnipeg where Connor Hellebuyck returned to elite form and the Dallas offense vanished. They break down the lack of depth scoring, undisciplined penalties, and whether it's time to worry about Jamie Benn’s declining play. Is the Stars’ goaltending advantage slipping? Why hasn’t anyone scored outside of Rantanen and Johnston? Can Robertson keep trending upward? The brothers don’t hold back in this postgame therapy session—and they’re looking ahead to Game 3 in Dallas with cautious hope. Plus, a quick shoutout to the moms for Mother's Day.

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?
