There is a palpable excitement around the Dallas Stars these days.
It shows in the non-verbal ways. Players smiling after completing 80-minute on-ice sessions — and then completing a full workout. Grins that come out when asked about the system new head coach Jim Montgomery is implementing. Playful comments towards media members in the hallway, such as Radek Faksa dunking on Sean Shapiro of The Athletic’s fashion game.
It’s also vocalized, too.
Nearly all of the players the media has spoken with at training camp have talked about how exciting this brand of hockey is going to be.
