After Thursday’s ignoble defeat at the hands of some portion of the Colorado Avalanche, the Dallas Stars and Company took to the ice Friday for a practice as the team awaits word of the next round of cuts from training camp.
In the midst of this anticipation, Ken Hitchock had a couple of surprising quotes about some players through two preseason games:
Hitch says Roope Hintz has played way into consideration for making team. Also Oleksiak has impressed, could earn spot on right side

My immediate reaction to this is that Hitch is a veteran coach who doesn’t just say things without a reason.
