No Dallas stars fan is surprised, Hintz has been our best player the past 2 seasons. The speed, the shot, the defensive skill Hintz has.. he’s finally getting the recognition he so longed deserved. Hintz is better than Robertson IMO
As a Blues fan Hintz caught my eye back in 2019. I was really caught off guard by him and then I realized he was a fucking rookie. Dude is insane. Really good on both sides.
I have thought he has been one of the most underrated players in the league. Canes fan here
Robertson is an amazing player, but from what I've seen he lacks Hintz's ability to create opportunities out of nowhere. Rob is a better regular season player, but in the playoffs where chances are scarce Hintz can shine brighter.
Hintz is an all around better player than Robertson for sure and Robertson has not looked great this playoffs. I'm hoping it's just nerves and he shakes it off against Vegas because him, Hintz, and Pavelski are unstoppable when they're all on their game.
been watching him since 16/17 and he was special already then. Shined in the Finnish Liiga
We Stars fans have known about Roope all along. Glad the rest of the league is catching up.
TRUE
He might still be the most underrated player in the nhl
One thing that’s been funny to me watching him these playoffs is how anytime Roope gets a breakaway at home the AAC goes nuts. Stars fans just know what’s coming next - laser of a shot to the back of the net. You’re right that the rest of the league is just catching on.
I knew he was a monster 2 years ago when he had a slow start and someone dropped him in my fantasy league. I grabbed him and he went off. To chirp everyone else who wanted him (but tried to pay less on waivers) I renamed my team to “Basically Hintz” as he carried my team for weeks.
Let's be honest, he's 26, a bit of a late bloomer... But a solid Finn takes time to develop
Hintz is great at reading, and intercepting opposing teams plays.
As a Finnish/American who has lived in the DFW area his whole life, watching Miro and Roope this year has brought me so much hometown and heritage pride. Go Dallas!

What's a Finnish/American?
@@MrSuperbfan Finnish guy with finnish roots born and raised in America? Just like African American, Asian American etc. Where is ur common sense?
@@pekkaleIt depends how far back the roots go, if either of your parents are Finnish, yeah fair enough, you could call yourself a Finnish-American but if they are further than that, you aren't Finnish anymore. I've seen too many Americans call themselves something American when both of their parents are born and raised in America. And that seems to be a mainly American thing
Roope Hintz is one of the many reasons why the Stars are my pick to win the cup. Heiskanen, Hintz, Oettinger, Robertson, Pavelski and more. The Stars have so much talent it’s insane. As a Flames fan, I saw a glimpse of this team’s potential last year, now we are seeing that potential fully realized.
I'd have to agree. They have even more depth this year, Robertson Breaking out, top six guys aren't ice cold, they're defense is incredible, and I've always liked Hintz but he seems to have found another level this year. I don't have my finger on the pulse in the west, I live in the east now and I can only handle so much mediocre and pain inducing hockey being a Sens fan and a Flames fan lol
Don't forget Been and Seguin
@@father042 yeah those were the top guys I was referring to, I just couldn't remember Seguin lol Benn and uh... The other guy lol. I know they had trouble scoring for a couple seasons
Dadonov is proving to be a good acquisition as well.
@@sakalaathletics Yeah... I had written him off last year already, but he really found his place at Dallas, great for him and ofc the team 🙂
Hintz has been Dallas' best kept secret for a few seasons now. But I'm glad he's finally getting the recognition he deserves. His speed is unbelievable, I'd wager he's the fastest, if not top 5 skaters in the league.
Lemme tell ya, no Stars fan is surprised. 😏
As a Seattle fan he was trouble all series. It was a hell of a series, and I’m excited to watch him play, hoping they beat VGK
Great series! Congrats on a good post season. You guys have a very physical hard nose team!
Respect to Seattle and Stars, teams very respectful of each other unlike the 1st round with Avs and Wild. Easy to cheer for both teams, hope this hockey friendship continues
@@homerehkemper7447 Love the Kraken as a Stars fan.
If it wasn't for Roope Hintz, Joe Pavelski and Jake Oettinger, we might not have beaten your Cracken. Y'all are a great up and coming and even scary team. I'm glad we made it out alive and yes, Roope (pronounced like Rope-A), has been our and the leagues MVP so far in the playoffs. Let's do this again next year ok? GO STARS
@@SSDirk1976 The "roo" is actually pronunced as you say "raw" in English, with a silent "w". "pe" is like that "pe" you would say in eg "pedal".
As a wild fan, we witnessed him fry us
finally my boy Hintz getting some love
he's been this good since 2 years ago haha
In my book Heiskanen is the MVP for the Stars at this point. Over 30 min ice time in game 7, makes it look easy! Also got a pretty nasty wrister to the face, missed no game.
Roope is hot but Miro is the big dog!
Heiskanen is not a sexy pick because he's toned down his offensive involvement a bit from the regular season. But league leading TOI and getting the toughest matchups, he's an actual dream.
Finnish supremacy in these playoffs ! TORILLE!
100% agreed! I remember when the Blackhawks won in 2015 and Keith was getting about 30 minutes a game. That was a huge deal then. Miro’s been underrated, but I get why since Hintz has been a monster offensively.
@@hockeyaddict7007 I highly doubt that, but if we get to see Heiskanen and Hintz Jr's its great either way
i'm biased but he's quite possibly been the the most underrated player in this year's playoffs. Logging 30+ minutes on a nightly basis and consistently showcasing some of the best shutdown-defensive skills, breakout ability, and O-zone puck-movement that the league has to offer right now. Unfortunately those things get very little recognition since they aren't quite as sexy as goal-scoring, but he deserves so much more recognition imo
Kinda sucks seeing my guys on the butt end of these highlights, but this certainly helps me appreciate how it happened. Great insight and analysis that really helps a new hockey fan like me start to understand the deeper aspects of the game. Hats off to Dallas for playing great hockey with an incredibly talented team. Super proud of the boys for making it all the way to Round 2 Game 7. Super excited for the off-season, free agents gonna want to sign here now that we've shown we mean business!
Stars fan here, and the Kraken have nothing to be ashamed of. Ya'll played your hearts out and were a force to be reckoned with. I can't wait to see how ya'll grow next year!
Yea much respect to the Kraken, I think we had the better talent overall. But nothing to take away from the Kraken, hats off and the future is bright
Roope is a beast! I'm so happy he plays for the stars! His speed and agility are insane.
The only downside of Hintz, is that I DIDN'T PICK HIM IN MY PLAYOFF POOL DAMMIT ! Dallas basically made me win my season pool, I don't know why wasn't sure about them in the playoff haha
Roope hasn't had a healthy playoff run until this year. There's always been some injury.
These videos just keep getting better and better
Roope Hintz is that guy
People still calling him ruupe. Game commentators have learned to say it right this year.
Me to american/canadian: How you say letter "O"?
They: "Oh"
Me: Say Roope.
They: Ruupe.
:D
I get americans having a hard time understanding that since they dont have a long o sound in english but "haiskanen" really shouldve stopped by now. It's literally the same as "hey" its not that hard.
@@are3287 There's a guy playing defense for the Idaho Steelheads (which is the Dallas ECHL affiliate) named Cody Haiskanen. I doubt he'll ever make it to the NHL, but imagine how badly that would confuse people.
@@are3287 Actually there is a long O sound, it's just spelled "aw"
North Americans were clowning on Pierre when he was pronouncing "Rantanen" correctly with the rolling r-sound. So I wouldn't expect the majority to get it right like... ever.
Jim Nill loves the Sergei Federov model of player.
Roope is Federov’s size and speed version 2.0
Not RU-PAY hintz. ROW-PAY hintz. You’re welcome 🤘🏽
Hintz and Heiskanen are very underrated.
Finnish players are always underrated in NHL. They are superstars in ours country.
Underrated
Idk how yall are just now hearing about roope, he's been tearing it up for a few years now
because the National Media doesn't cover Stars hockey nearly as much as they cover other markets. The Canadian and East Coast bias is still very prevalent with the national media. Hence why Johnston was snubbed for the Calder this season.
And if they talk about Stars it's all about Robo. Never european guys, they have to make x2 the points to get mentioned 😂
Plz don't choke Dallas. Win it for Pavelski. Plz. I'm begging you.
The best way to win a hockey game is to have all player working hard on the ice and not resting in the penalty box.
As a stars fan we want it so badly.
Not happening sorry
hintz is a total monster, an absolute product of modern hockey... I remember him at the MSJ (2016) together with aho, pulju and laine, mikko, kapanen, he played 3 lines and he was great even then, it was so sick year,, I'm nothing like that with Canada he didn't see so much talent in the first three formations...
This was a great video! I’m a fan of the Stars, so I watch often, but the details such as offensive systems and positioning are something I don’t pay attention to. I loved this.
Dallas has so much going on for them that I hope they win against VGK. One thing that has barely gotten mentioned anywhere is the Lindell-Hakanpää pair. Close to the end of regular season they were easily the "best" defensive pair in the league. Their defensive stats were thourgh the roof.
They've had some rough games in the playoffs, but I think Lindell is very underrated. Every team wants a guy like him.
As a stars fan, I knew roope was special in 2019 when he had a filthy short side goal against Buffalo in the regular season. He was just a raw gifted hockey player, who has improved every year since his rookie season. I thought he became our best player two seasons ago. As long as he stays healthy, I believe he will become our captain after Jamie and continue to be our best player for years to come. He also plays with so much passion, you can see it in every goal he scores.
The Stars development system is seriously under-rated.
This is an excellent breakdown on the skills of Hintz. Wicked video. Top NHL CZcamsr no doubts.
Thanks for making this video. Roope is so aesthetically pleasing to watch, even if he does literally nothing but skate. Also, respectfully, Miro's last name is pronounced Hey-skanen. Cheers!
THANK YOU !!! For finally putting some Stars Content out there... Your Hockey IQ is Super awesome!
I love these daily videos
I love Hintz, his only issue is that he is a little injury prone. Otherwise, one of the most underrated forwards in the NHL
I hope he can keep it going. We've never had a Finn win the Conn-Smythe and I really want to see him get it. Vegas will be the toughest team to do this against so far.
That was a great breakdown.
The NHL Playoff MVP that NO ONE OUTSIDE OF TEXAS expected.
I’m just glad media is starting to put some respect on Dallas stars and actually talking about us now
Stars going all the way
Excellent video and analysis. In addition to what you mentionned, Hintz has an excellent balance and when you combine that with his size, speed and strength it is very difficult to get the puck away from him. He can quickly change the location from which he is taking the shot making him a menace for goalkeepers. Reminds me of Sergei Fedorov (Fjodorov) in the 90s who just blasted through defenders.
Thanks for your insights
Well analyzed... He appears sometimes like a flash, but never thought all those details.
Ok I’m a kraken fan and had season tickets to every home game…the Dallas series was exciting..give the stars credit for playing well in game 7,,,especially after seattle thrashed them with 4 goals in 4 shots in game 6…hints, heiskanen and Pavelski very good players..Ottinger was exceptional always in the game,,,when he stunk the game before and had to be pulled…
A key point here is the importance of the coach running a system that leverages their player's abilities, and a GM constructing a team to work for that system. If you only have a couple of fast players, it doesnt work. And if you add a couple fast players to a slow team running an aggressive forecheck, they won't excel like they would in a transition system. The teams that are left may not have the best talent but they have systems that are getting the most from the talent they have.
Roope is so awesome!
Keep it up Stars, stay out of the box, that's always been the key to success.
I love the coverage of this channel! I'd be curious to know how many NHL players have the sense to follow you!
Hintz is that DUDE!
His cap hit TODAY is 3.15 million… Wow
Beautiful little bridge contract. I'm so glad Nill extended him early in the season, and for a really good price. His contract mirrors Heiskanen's. Having them both in Dallas for several years should be a big part of the core.
He explained my exact playing style but the hands are still in the making
Great vid...this season will put Dallas once and for all in the elite rank.
“Rupee” 😂
RAWpe
HAI YAI YAI YAAAAH
Dallas got all the underrated players, Robertson, Hintz, Wedgewood
Blackwood?
blackwood is on the devils its wedgewood
Heiskanen has been ridiculous
robertson is good, but nowhere near on the level of hintz
@@TallisLizzy I accidentally said Blackwood
One thing to add is his energy saving skating ability
Leafs fan here, the jab was well deserved
Only time can tell
Lots of Finns going into that playoff performer and/or under-appreciated talent category. Quite happy about that.
Hintz is the latest but of course for years Barkov was a monster who was largely unknown to the wider hockey public, and similar story with Aho. And playoff guys there was that Kiviranta hat trick (he hasn't repeated anything like that since of course) and Lehkonen is a known playoff guy.
I think Hintz is one of the more underrated players at the moment but he is definitely getting his name out there more now and hopefully will break out as far as name recognition soon too, although I think mostly the players don't care about that much as long as they are winning.
Oh and as for winning the Conn Smythe, I mean if the stars win the cup yes. But thats a big if there. I think the list shown in no particular order of Eichel, Aho, Hintz, and Tkachuk is right (for now, with goalies always being open to steal the spot) at this given moment, and any one of those guys can/should win it if their team goes on to win the cup and they continue to perform.
Just happy to have two Finns up there.
Hintz should get way more attention in the Selke voting. He doesn't kill penalties just because he's a shorthanded scoring threat. He's just an excellent all around player.
I've seen a lot of guys kill it during the regular and absolutely fail in the postseason. If it wasn't for Hintz we definitely don't win this series, we just didn't get much from Robertson or Benn really, we will definitely need them this series.
His style reminds me of Kuznetsov when he’s playing well (which isn’t often). It makes sense though that Dallas has built a system to utilize Roope but the capitals absolutely haven’t done that for Kuzy.
Always thought he was good, seemed similar to Aho who I love but man I did not expect this. He’s really found the next level
His new contract is a steal!
And he is going to be a future selke winner.
As a Stars seasons ticket holder I remember his rookie year and when we first saw him rushing up the left wing. I knew right then and there he was going to be a total stud. And now he is. 💪💪💪
Quite frankly, based on his OVERALL game (offense and defense) I am having a hard time thinking of another player in the NHL who is better than Roope right now.
And yes, if the Stars skate the cup, #24 will more than likely scoop the Conn Smyth! 🔥🔥🔥
Me and my good friend were talking about the eventual Stanley Cup Finalists. Told my friend a Dallas fan, these guys will likely make SCF. He told me this is one of the players to watch out for. I didn’t believe him. Wow.
Oiler fan thought so too
Not surprised at all, Hintz has been doing this! You can't stop the fastest skater in the league when he gets going!
Roope Hintz starting to look like Pavel Bure in his prime.
Roope has been doing this for his entire career and I’m glad he’s getting his due. Stars in 6
He is produces that speed quite easily and "economically".
He can maintain his speed 60+ minutes. That's quite rare.
Unknown because people don't pay attention to the Stars but he's a great player. Heck you don't even know how to say his name. 😂 Oh lawd then you said Heiskanen wrong too.
Great vid! The name is actually pronounced Roh'pe.
I reckon Mr and Mrs Hintz had a lot more to do with the creation of a potential NHL playoff MVP than the Stars did, but what do I know about human reproduction.
Seriously though, credit to Jim Nill for finally hiring a head coach that doesnt suck - for a change.
Rick Boweness - forces the players to fit into a moulde of what Boweness thinks is the perfect image of a Defense Bot. Wants to win 1-0 games. Strangles the life out of his players. Career losing record as a head coach by a large margin, for a reason. Believes in defending 100% of the time.
Pete DeBoer - analyzes players strengths and tailors plans to playstyles to maximise team success. Allows players offensive freedom while ensuring players accountability defensively. Believes the key to winning games is attacking 100% of the time. "If the opponent can't get out of their zone they can't score goals,"
I laughed my butt off when the Jets hired Boweness. I thought "Somebody in Winnipeg isn't very smart. They're going to suck when it comes crunch time." and the Jets fulfilled my prediction.
Boweness is money in the bank when you're betting on epic failure..
would like to see Dallas take the cup, real CLASS ACT
Well, for the Stars it's either him, Pavelski or Heiskanen atleast. It all depends on how the last series pan out, and of course if we win, but it's one of those three for sure.
Hintz has been great . The stars are going to be hard to beat
Dadonov and Domi! The two former habs are, combined, ahead of Hintz in scoring.
Almost nobody talks about him even in Finland. Steve Dangle thought he was french.
HIP HIP ROOPE!
Go Stars Go
How about those steelheads! Good organization!
Great video. One note, it's pronounced ROH-pay...not ROO-pay.
he also has a deadly shot to
People who has seen him play this season are not suprised
Dude better get that X-factor next NHL release
These videos are cool but also like mad libs where you could change the name and find highlights that fit
What does “+4500” mean?
Future superstar for sure. Now everybody knows him….next year everybody notice him…Auston must watch his back , he is better allready
Plays in the wilderness if he was in a bigger market he would be a star
Hintz is tremendously underrated. If he was on a line with other monster players he'd be a 100pt player every year
His linemate had over 100 pts this season.
What did the Leafs do vs the Panthers
Saw the same Minnesota goal like ten times. 😟🇫🇮
Dallas was my pick to win the Cup way before the playoffs.
Would love to see Pavelski get a cup.
He reminds me of Fedorov
If the Stars win it Roope would be my pick. Miro Meiskanen would also be in the conversation. Without Miro, Stars probably aren't making a deep run. Let's also not forget about Pavelski, if he continues to put up numbers he has to be another contender as well.
he's another nathan makinnon mold
ifk created future mvp player on nhl
hintz/robertson/pavelski line is elite but if anyone's a conn smythe winner for the stars it's miro
Less gooo
Hintz is everything McDavid wishes he was. Elite player on a cup contender.
i didnt know theres a canadian version of auston mathews
If only they could get Robo to do what he did in the regular season, this line is as deadly as they come with Pavs on the other side.
Robertson's subpar skating is definitely a big part of why he hasn't been as effective in the playoffs. Bet he makes an improvement on it in offseason.
Where was Bobrovsky?
Or has his stock dropped so drastically because he was forced to defeat Toronto?
Can someone explain this in normal odds? What is +4500
Nvm google said it was 46
