Howdy folks, it's nice to be back.
The early part of the season wasn't the time to have these interactions, as the negativity would've likely killed us all. However, we're riding a nice wave of virya (Buddhist term commonly translated as "energy", "diligence," or "enthusiasm"), so let's commune in the comfortable victory green cocoon that is Starsland.
Onto your questions:

Do you think Tyler Seguin or Jake Oettinger] could be the catalyst to this team playing well and being more aggressive? His play has been amazing and it's gotta give the team some confidence knowing that one mistake won't end up in the back of their net. -- @Justinschmidt88
Mike Heika: I think he's been a big part of what's happening. When you look at the Edmonton game, the defense was probably the biggest part of the story. When you look at the Colorado game, Oettinger's play in the third period was spectacular. So it's how everything mixes together. I think the early goals have helped a lot, and the stronger defensive play by the forwards has been a big factor. Having Oettinger being as solid as he's been could really be the biggest building block for the recent streak.
What do you think is the plan this year for goalies if Oettinger keeps the strong game? Will Anton Khudobin or Braden Holtby get moved? [Ben Bishopis a Senior Staff Writer for DallasStars.com and has covered the Stars since 1994. Follow him on Twitter @MikeHeika, and listen to his podcast.*
