Looks like Calgary was the annual winner of the 'Let Buffalo turn your season around sweepstakes!'.

I mean, coaching change.

Stars fire head coach Jim Montgomery ‘due to unprofessional conduct’

"Unprofessional conduct"

Hmmmmm

 

[tsujimoto74]

"The Dallas Stars expect all of our employees to act with integrity and exhibit professional behavior while working for and representing our organization. This decision was made due to unprofessional conduct inconsistent with the core values and beliefs of the Dallas Stars and the National Hockey League."


It'll be interesting to see what exactly happened that led to this. Especially curious whether it relates to an incident that happened a while ago that the Stars weren't planning on doing anything about until the league decided to start kicking some of the old boys out of the old boys' club, or whether it's something the players just brought to management's attention.

What a hell?

 

[Sabreality]

I'm guessing it has something to do with Radulovs benching, who in turn had Russian intelligence stir up some dirt against Monty

 

[Jim Bob]

The speculation is going to fly with this one.

I wonder if it was more of a normal HR thing?

 

[Chainshot]

I await the details, if ever.

Well, if it's not related to the league cracking down on player abuse, then yeah, that opens up a whole new can of worms. A legal/criminal issue that hasn't become public yet? A personal issue (e.g., substance abuse)? Something else? What a strange situation.

It's not us.

 

[Beerz]

Probably a Russian asset.

It's the time of year where someone gets overserved at the company holiday party and does something so stupid that they get fired.

Maybe it was something like that...

 

[Club]

Coaches dropping like flies. But for good reason.

 

[Fjordy]

Damn russophobes.

I mean.....if it's not impending-Code-of-Conduct related and not abuse-related and the Stars "had no choice"..................pretty much all that's left is something personal. And for a straight-up firing and not a suspension? Gotta be something quite serious, IMO. I have my thoughts/suspicions.

Just look at what happened here a few years back.

Me too. Out of respect for not starting rumors I won’t say. The vagueness is only going to spread rumors..it’s probably going go get out soon anyways.

 

[Buffaloed]

I don't believe there is any mention of livestock in the 4-point plan

Yeah, I have a hunch it's one of 2 things.......and it's going to be made public within the next couple of days.

No criminal investigation? Well now hmmmmmmmm. What on earth would warrant an insta-fire as opposed to a suspension?
