2019-2020 - Around the League (All non-Stars NHL Talk here)

  • Thread starter Thread starter LT
  • Start date Start date

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

Fun kinda shocking fact: Jason Spezza's 12 points in 20 games this season is worse than his start last season, where he had 13 points in his first 20 games.

I remember he had some Stars fans fooled with that production through the first 20 games
 
Confidence is a strange thing. Once someone starts scoring it just can get going and going. Can be wierd like that.
 
The stuff dreams are made.

But when he has more goals then any one of our 7 mil plus guys then what??

Funny Benn and Seguin were laughing pretty hysterically at Val trying to pronounce his name during the Christmas skit many moons ago, now maybe old Saint Nichooshk gets the last Christmas laugh this year.

I doubt it . Whatever happened there seems like something that means there will be some time between NHL jobs for him. This isn't like Boudreau getting hired right away twice.

He'd be bombarded with questions about what in the world happened in Dallas until it gets out and i sincerely doubt he wants that to happen now.

Monty isn't getting another job until this mess becomes public. And it wouldn't surprise me if this is the end of his NHL coaching career. Either that, or the Stars are going to look really stupid.

I really want it to be the former, but the more details come out I'm thinking it will, unfortunately, be the latter. The current front office seems to be filled with certain type (Nill type). And anything resembling a personality is frowned upon.

Eh considering they didn't react to some other things like the Lites thing or some other questionable things i doubt that. I really don't think Nill wanted to fire Monty but felt like he had no choice. It seems to me to be something that would look really bad on the Stars if they didn't act in any way to it once it becomes public knowledge. We just don't know what exactly went on there behind the scenes.

I'm also not exactly trusting some of those "sources" . The guy who got posted as a source who worked on HNIC ages ago for a short period of time well lets just say he doesn't have a great reputation for anything more than beeing rumor mill and well reading through some of the other stuff he's posted on Twitter. Yeah i'm not buying what the dude is selling.

I agree , there’s a good chance he’s done .
 
Makes me think it might have been just the interview. One thing to be drunk in private, but he was representing team in public way heard by many thousands. Some might not think that's enough, but old school ways, being brought back with some new school thinking might say it is.

No it was not .

 
I can't believe anyone seriously thought that interview was even a partial influence, let alone be the cause. It boggles my mind further that a lot of people were compelled to bother Shapiro with it

Seeing a few fans talking about boycotting the Stars on twitter and talking about how bad the Stars handled it because they won't tell us why he was fired.

How stupid do you have to be? Clearly there is a reason it hasn't been released. Not even Monty is talking about it because he doesn't want it out there. Let the guy get his life/wife/kids/family in order before bringing this stuff up for millions to see.

It's the same kind of people who speculate wildly when tragic events happen and scream cover up when they won't get told everything instantly. Doesn't matter if there's reasons for that . There's allways people who feel like they allways need to know everything .

Twitter is fun. Saw Dowling was with Fedun today for practice and someone literally took that as him making a Brent Burns type transition to defense so he can get in the lineup more...they were completely serious

Also this is the non-Stars talk thread. Gets confusing cause they look nearly identical at first glance
