The Dallas Stars stumbled into the postseason and potentially lost forward Jason Robertson in the process.
Robert Tiffin of Stars Thoughts joined host Gavin Spittle on the latest Spits & Suds podcast to discuss Dallas' struggles, specifically their defensive lapses.
They discuss why Dallas needs better goaltending from Jake Oettinger and, potentially, Casey DeSmith, if they want to make a deep playoff run, but the defense in front of them is even more imperative.
The guys then discuss Robertson leaving the regular season finale with a lower-body injury, his potential absence from the series, and what the lines would look like without him in the lineup.
And finally, Robert and Gavin discuss the threat Nathan MacKinnon poses to the Stars and how Dallas can work to cover him in the series. Plus, how do the Stars match up with Colorado?
