The Dallas Stars are heading back to the playoffs, and Dallas Express Sports Network used the occasion to take the show on the road to Urban Italia just outside the American Airlines Center for a full playoff preview.
Joined by longtime Stars analyst Bruce LeVine, the episode dives into what makes the Stanley Cup Playoffs so brutal, why defense and physicality matter so much for Dallas, and how much Jake Oettinger’s experience could shape the Stars’ run.
The show also looks at the Stars’ season, the grind of the Western Conference, memorable moments in franchise history, and the energy surrounding playoff hockey in Dallas. Nellie Sciutto also joins from Urban Italia for a conversation with executive chef Carla Pellegrino about the restaurant, food, and why Dallas stood out to her.
Watch the full episode below for the Stars playoff preview, Stars history, and more from Urban Italia.
