Dallas Stars surge into the Olympic break, powered by Glenn Gulutzan’s calm leadership and revitalized depth scoring. Is this the recipe for a Stanley Cup return?

Can Jim Nill find the right bargain to strengthen the blue line and secure postseason success? Insights on Olympic hockey, USA vs. Canada rivalries, and Stars’ international representation round out the discussion.
