Stars Shake Off the Meh: Mikko Takes Over in 4–1 Win vs Kings | Episode 7-023 | December 15th, 2025

Описание: The Stars didn’t dominate—but Mikko Rantanen made sure they didn’t lose.

The Dallas Stars snap a brief skid with a 4–1 win over the Kings, and Ryan and James break down a game that somehow felt feel-good and meh at the same time. From a sluggish start to a dominant third period, Dallas finally looked like itself when it mattered most.

We dive into Mikko Rantanen being a full-blown cheat code, Matt Duchene’s growing impact since returning, Oskar Back’s Pavelski-style net-front finish, and a quietly excellent night from Casey DeSmith. Plus, we unpack questionable penalties, slow puck movement, perimeter-heavy offense, and why the Stars may simply be fighting through some league-wide fatigue.

Segments include Biggest Winner / Biggest Loser, lineup experiments, and why the third period told the real story—even more than the final score.
