    Cant wait to hear the actual deets on this.

    DAL GM Jim Nill announced that Jim Montgomery has been dismissed as head coach. Assistant Rick Bowness will assume the role of interim head coach. Nill: "This decision was made due to unprofessional conduct inconsistent with the core values and beliefs of the Stars & the NHL"

    I know this had been rumored for a while but was it really necessary? They had a bad start and since then have bounced back...

    Interesting. When the Stars were terrible they rode it out with him, and now that they've turned it around they fire him?

    Something about to come out about his past?

    Radulov had some dirt on him and released it. No doubt in my mind.

    Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with performance. Pretty sure they uncovered another #metoo bombshell and decided to get ahead of it.

    Hmmm. I wonder what the heck Montgomery did. Maybe he just had a disagreement with Nill and it got out of hand.

    Last night, at the Board of Governors meeting, we asked if there were any investigations underway for abuse/racial comments that we were not aware of. The answer was no. Whatever happened with Jim Montgomery in Dallas, it does not fall under that umbrella.

    I'm starting to believe that this is the new way to fire a coach and not pay him the balance of his contract, using a morality clause.

    I also find it curious that the coach can be fired for alleged unprofessional behaviour, but the CEO... well, do as I say, not as I do, right?:

    "They are f—ing horse-s—, I don’t know how else to put it,” Lites said, via The Athletic. “The team was ok. But (Tyler) Seguin and (Jamie) Benn were terrible.”

    Yeah, that sounds pretty professional....

    They could have simply been lying to the media too.

    Sounds like a night out with Charlie Sheen is the likely culprit

    Dallas has been so shaky this season... that even a sliver of possible moral question on Montgomery is enough to oust him.
    It's just a major distraction for hockey teams to be focused on ANYTHING NOT hockey centric.

    Culture & Money are the two driving forces for Free Agents looking to choose their next destination... and culture is gaining.
    GMs are VERY aware of this, especially with respect to adding pieces in the off-season and re-signing players.
    The good players... if offered $7m/year from a place with great culture vs. $7.5m from a place with bad culture... they're going with the good culture.

    I, personally, would not take an extra 20% salary raise to work at a shitty employer (even if I'm told I can do same tasks as now).
