Covering the Dallas Stars, SMU & college sports for @DallasNews. @MedillSchool alum. Say hi: [email protected]. It’s pronounced uh-sih-muh-KAHP-uh-lis.
- Pete DeBoer asked about being Canadian and being pulled in two directions when the Stars face Canadian teams: “Right now, I’m Finnish.” 😂
- Pete DeBoer on the Bendar impersonator: “Let’s put it this way: I’d rather have a doppelgänger than some of the situations I’ve been put in with people behind the bench. You can look up the internet to see that.”Jared Bednar coaching while Bared Jednar crushes a cold one behind the bench 😭
00:00 - Only caught the tail end in this clip, but the SMU student section started a “Fire Nico” chant. Mavs GM Nico Harrison is sitting in the section right next to them.
00:00 - I’m always blown away by the charitable efforts of Stars fans, and today is no different. Dallas fans have been making $55 donations for Jets No. 55 Mark Scheifele following his father’s passing last night to a few charities Mark supports. Bigger than hockey 💚
- Never forget when Chris Tanev was traded to Dallas and chose No. 3 because 8 was retired and said it’s because 3 is half of eight, not in value but because a 3 is literally an 8 cut in half.📩 We've got numbers!
- They are trying to power wash the Nico Harrison profanity outside the Dirk statue. It’s not really working.
00:00 - Stars captain Jamie Benn the last to leave the ice tonight.
00:00 - They just did a celebrity spotlight at AT&T Stadium. Every celebrity got cheers except... Jerry Jones Loud boos in Jerry's World.
- The next generation is joining the “Fire Nico” movement.
00:00 - Matt Duchene was asked about the Jared Bednar impersonator and gave a 10/10 response. “Not in society anymore” absolutely took us out 😭
00:07Jared Bednar coaching while Bared Jednar crushes a cold one behind the bench 😭 - Mikko Rantanen said he felt Dallas was a better fit for him long term than Carolina and that the large group of Finns played a big role in him choosing to sign with the Stars.
- Just witnessed someone trying to book a flight at American Airlines Center. Security guard turns them away and goes “this is not the airport.” 🫠
- Roope Hintz is wearing the gold helmet at practice today. That’s an honor Finnish teams give to their leading scorer. A nice gesture for the Tampere native playing in his hometown this week.
