00:00The stars chopped Peter DeBoer this morning.
00:03Of course, a week after they lost to Edmonton in the conference finals.
00:08Again, Dallas losing in the conference final for the third year in a row.
00:12And DeBoer's good at losing in the conference final.
00:14He's done it a lot in all of his stops.
00:17You knew, Dave, when he did that to Ottinger after the game,
00:21and then the reports started coming out, the players,
00:23and there's some veteran leadership in that locker room.
00:26They were not going to be thrilled with what he did.
00:29And especially with him only having one year left on his deal.
00:33Chopped. Finished.
00:39Things didn't end well in Dallas.
00:41Again, you get to the Western Conference finals.
00:45I mean, you saw what happened for the Knicks and Tibbs, right?
00:49He got to the Eastern Conference finals.
00:51Gone.
00:53I'm really not surprised, okay?
00:56I'm not.
00:57But today, like today, you know, game two of the Stanley Cup finals,
01:05and you announce it today.
01:06So, obviously, there were either meetings again where they just said,
01:10you know what, we're done.
01:12We're done.
01:12I love Ottinger.
01:16I really do.
01:17You just got to get over the hump.
01:18And until you get over the hump, somebody got to go, got to be the coach,
01:22is what it is.
01:24Dallas is still going to be one of the top four favorites for Stanley Cup next year.
01:29Mike, I didn't look yet.
01:30I know they're probably the top five without even looking.
01:35They always are.
01:36So, I don't know who they're going to get.
01:38But, you know, there's been coaching carousel changes.
01:41Boston just hired a coach.
01:42The Penguins just hired a coach.
01:44You know, a lot of young guys are getting coaching opportunities in the NHL.
01:48I don't know where DeBoer, if he ends up back in the league next season.
01:51Yeah, I don't know if they'll go kind of do what the Penguins did,
01:56which was the cheap route, the cheap, fresh-faced route.
02:00That's what the Penguins did.
02:02That's what the Bruins kind of did, too.
02:03Sturm never been a head coach anywhere, and he gets a job.
02:06I don't think because of how that team is built that that's a route that Dallas
02:10is going to take.
02:11You know, I think that Dallas will look at some of the maybe some flashier names
02:16that have been put out there, and we'll see.
02:19But they still have a strong team, and you're right.
02:21They will be one of the four favorites no matter what it is going into next year.
