  • Good Stuff

    Love the content and breakdown. He’s delusional like most stars fans as in he’s an Otter lover. Other than that he’s on point.

  • Best Stars Content

    The only podcast I consider a “must-listen.” I download every episode and find Gavin and his contributors to be the most up-to-date, informed, and enthusiastic source for Stars happenings and opinions. I love how professional and easy to listen to Gavin is as a host, but his personality still shines through with his obvious love of the Stars and the sport of hockey. Very glad I found this podcast and will continue to be a loyal listener. I especially enjoy the episodes that feature unexpected in... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NHL Draft Combine, Stanley Cup Game 2 Controversy, Insight On Dylan Larkin Wanting Out, USHL West Coast Expansion
Q: Two parts, start with why Larkin wants out of Detroit. And then second, interest from teams, because I think there's four years left on the contract as well.
Larkin's largely driven by frustration over leadership dynamics and team support, including a high-level misalignment with the GM, plus a sense that Detroit hasn't surrounded him with the right pieces to compete, which has fueled his trade request and interest from playoff-contending teams.
Andi Petrillo, Amazon Prime Monday Night Hockey & Thursday Coast2Coast
Q: I guess the question is, how do we get you back in America?
Andi explains that her Thursday Prime shows Coast2Coast are produced from the NHL Network Studio in Secaucus, New Jersey, and while many games are in Canada, there are opportunities to broadcast more in the United States, depending on rights and distribution.
Conference Finals Set After Montreal’s Overtime Game 7 Win
Q: What stood out about Montreal's performance in the playoffs?
Sean highlighted Jacob Dobish's resilience, the team's historic context with Montreal's last Cup win in the 1990s, and the powerful home-ice energy from the Bell Center as key factors in their surprising run.
Conference Finals Underway, Pavel Dorofeyev's Expiring Contract & Could The Stars Make A Play For Šimon Nemec?
Q: What makes Dorofeyev's playoff performance special and how should his contract be valued?
Dorofeyev's 37 goals and 64 points in the regular season, plus 10 points in the playoffs so far, position him as a high-value, rising star whose playoff performance bolsters his market value and makes a substantial raise likely, possibly in the seven to eight million per year range depending on cap dynamics.
Playoff Ratings Analysis
Q: Who do the ratings matter to, and in what ways do they influence teams and advertisers?
Sean explains that ratings affect advertising revenue and market value, which in turn influences team decisions, sponsorship interest, and how leagues structure contracts and promotions.
