Jake Oettinger has been the NHL's best goalie in October. But we've written that sentence before. What @seanshapiro wants to know is what's stopping Oettinger from replicating this form over the rest of the season. If he can, he's winning the Vezina: dmagazine.com/sports/2026/10…

A year ago, El Califa de León brought its tacos to Dallas, creating a storm of influencer hype, five-hour-long lines, and crushing disappointment. The pop-up was a disaster, leaving guests feeling scammed after they were served basic tacos and Costco packaged desserts at sky-high prices. The Mexico City-based taquería blamed a local partner for being unable to meet their standards.⁠ ⁠ Well, now El Califa de León has taken its traveling show to Manhattan, where New York City diners can now pay $19 per taco. So far, New York isn't thrilled with the value on offer. After the Big Apple has exported so many disappointing chain restaurants southward, it’s nice to finally turn the tables. We remember all the gory details from last year's Dallas pop-up, and quote a variety of New York food writers and reviewers. dmagazine.com/micropost/cali…

The Stars' goalie is off to another hot start. That isn't new. But if he carries that play over a full season, the results—for player and team alike—might be. dmagazine.com/sports/2026/10…

We do not foresee the Mavericks being very good this season, at least from a results standpoint. Nearly two years removed from the Luka Doncic trade, they remain in transit, still shuttling between Doncic’s era and Cooper Flagg’s. Most of the holdovers don’t fit Flagg’s future. Most of the newcomers can’t help him in the present. These are not the ingredients of a winning basketball team.⁠ ⁠ None of this should dissuade you from watching. In fact, the Mavericks have given us more cause to pay attention. We are about to watch this franchise understand itself in real time. dmagazine.com/sports/2026/10…
