[ah, you know ty very well. how hard is it to stay focused throughout everything he’s been through?] yeah, it’s … you know, there’s no one in here that deserves that more than him, and, you know — i live with him, so, i get to see … i’ve been through, you know, everything that he’s gone through this year, and, just, the way that he carries himself, and — you know, there’s no one that puts the team more in first than him and he works his butt off and never has a bad attitude and has just stayed ready for when he got his name called, and played great tonight and, you know, showed that he can step in and, and be a great piece to this team. so, you know, there’s not a lot of people that are gonna be happier for him than me, that’s for sure. 

[i was gonna say, the body language that he shows, just when he’s out there – first one on the ice – i mean, he does all the little things you’re supposed to do to show that you’re a big member of the team, even when he goes, whatever, six, eight games without playing.] exactly. and you’d never know … you know, some guys, you know, carry the way that they’re playing on the ice on their face and you’d never know with him. he’s just, you know — puts the team first, wants what’s best for the team, and, you know, he knows when his number’s called he’s gonna step up. and he’s done that. and, uh, like i said, just so happy for him. and there’s tons of guys in our organization who’re like that, you know, just — everyone wants to win, and you know, not everyone’s going to have the exact role that they want but, you know, if you win the championship at the end of the day it doesn’t matter. 

[just for color, here — you and ty share a house, a condo?] he lives at my house. me and my fiancée’s house, yeah. yep. [does he pay rent?]  uh, we’re still working through that (laughs) yeah. he’s, uh, he’s been on dish duty, so, that’s kinda how he’s paying for his rent right now. [let’s say, maybe give him a little break off — get a goal, you know, goal’s count.] yeah, for sure. for sure, yeah, exactly.  [and, just for color, what type of jersey does your brother wear?] he wears delly’s jersey. yeah, i know — second favorite player, yeah.

Stanley Cup Playoffs: DAL @ VGK (Round 1, Game 4) | April 29, 2024 - Roope Hintz 4-2 (eng)

starting to think that the love might always be there

ughhh razor on the new podman rush

"They won’t fully explain the flag that they carry around—that they all signed in training camp. They have a Stars flag and it’s pinned to the wall just inside the Stars dressing room at AAC, and it is taped to the wall in every dressing room on the road. 81 games now, of it. It says: a little less for a lot more.

What does it mean? They won’t tell, but I think you can probably get some semblance of an idea with the maxim. The underlying message is basically, to me, sacrifice your own needs and wants for the common good and the ultimate goal. And they all signed it. That is who they are. That is their identity."

All night long, Logan Thompson had an answer for you every time you had a good look. What was it like to watch him perform that way, and how did you guys finally solve him?

[what conversations have you had with logan, if any, ‘cause he’s obviously getting ready for his first NHL playoff experience.]   um, not a whole lot, yet. um, i think obviously maybe talk about it a little bit but i think he’s obviously — you know, he’s smart, he kinda … he knows, he’ll do a good job. but yeah, i think, um … i mean, he already kinda asked me about vegas a little bit just ‘cause he hasn’t — you know, he hasn’t played a lotta teams yet, and just kinda … kinda getting to know a little what they’re like. but, um … yeah, i mean, i’m sure we’ll have some conversations in the future still, still kinda pretty fresh with who we’re playing.

dallasstars Future so bright, they gotta put on shades. 😎

[miro was very noticeable, i don’t know if you guys noticed. but i mean, it just — like, i’ve watched him a lot and this seemed like one of his better games and just seems like it’s a good time to be doing that, for him.]   yeah. yeah, definitely noticeable, i mean … you know, the amount of times that, like, you think, um — you know, you're gonna get a two-on-one coming at you, or something — a big scoring chance and then he just makes a great defensive play. i think, uh, you know, that’s what makes him so good, like, ‘cause he could score with anyone, or, like, offensively he’s great, but you know, he’s not … he’s not trying to play forward, like, he’s so — so responsible defensively and just so well rounded. and, you know — really lucky to have him in front of me, that’s for sure.   [and i’ll say — that one shift, where he’s up there with i think jamie —]   yeah.   [in front of the net, and he’s the guy that comes back and breaks up a two-on-one.]   yeah, it’s crazy, like, he’s … got that extra — like, extra step that some guys — that i think, only god can give you that, i think, so he, uh, he has that, and he’s special.
