The goalie is the anchor of the team. They keep them afloat and they keep them steady. Texas has been very fortunate to have a very hard working and reliable goalie for the past few seasons. Anthony Dionne seems like he's been part of the team for as long as anyone can remember! Boots and Dionne have a great on and off ice relationship. Having both is important in the game of hockey because in friendship you develop trust which is something you need on the ice as well as off. Boots knows he can trust Dionne to make the stop if he doesn't get to the puck in time and that goes the other way as well. Dionne trusts Boots to block a lane or do his best to block a shot so he can cover a bigger area. Boots will always tap Dionne's pads after a huge save or apologize if he's on the ice for a goal even if he's not at fault. Together they are a team and together they play the full length of the ice. In between play and during breaks Dionne will always skate up to the bench to hear from his teammates as well as his back up Roman so they can cheer each other on as well. The game is a team effort and we're all in it together.
