Not Good Enough, Not Healthy Enough, Dallas Stars Season Ends Much Too Soon | DLLS Stars Podcast

About this episode

The episode discusses the Dallas Stars' early elimination from the playoffs and reflects on the season's challenges and injuries.

The Dallas Stars saw their season come to an end last night in their Game 6 loss to the Minnesota Wild at Grand Casino Arena, as they were eliminated from the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs. It’s a blunt reminder of just how difficult it is to win a playoff series, as the Stars have won six series over the last four post season campaigns (2023-2026). Today, we start to digest the end of the season by breaking down some post Game 6 reaction from head coach Glen Gulutzan and several players and we will begin to dive a little deeper on a lot of hard questions facing the organization as they now turn their collective attention to the 2026-27 season. We take a bigger look at the injuries suffered all season, not just during the playoffs. Plus, now that the Stars are out, who do we root for in the rest of the playoffs this year?
