Cujo Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=281469Discuss!-DanTippet probably didn't deserve the ax, but will definitely land another quality job soon. It's too bad Edmonton jumped the gun and settled on Pat "The Wreckingball" Quinn.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 No down years allowed with the Stars, huh. Didn't Hitchcock get axed for a 91-point playoff miss? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanB06 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 "Tippett" has two T's, fellas. I can't let an ex-Whaler great's name get misspelled like that.

dfwabel Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Slow Start +Sean Avery Fiasco+Miss the Playoffs+Change of GMCoaching ChangeCombined, they equaled doom for him. Marc Crawford is somewhat of a kneejerk decision, but coaching changes in the NHL are generally kneejerk. There are others who are not working who have had better (or more recent success) then McFly. He is only 43-40 in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 No down years allowed with the Stars, huh. Didn't Hitchcock get axed for a 91-point playoff miss?There's a lot to live up to, what with the Mavericks and Cowboys in town to compete with.And there could be a lot worse choices than Crawford. Not saying he's the end-all, but as long as he's kept away from GM duties, he should succeed in Dallas (if he's the one).

oddball Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Marc Crawford is a horrible coach. He's clueless. He has no system, the players won't respect him at all. Oh and don't give me that crap about he won a Stanley Cup. Patrick Roy won the Stanley Cup, Crawford was just riding his coat tails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans love him in Dallas, so he'd be a good sell.But if they wanted Guy, why no have him as the GM, hire Joe Joe Nieuwendyk as Asst GM, then get a coach? If Guy wanted to coach the team, then that should be his call. I am not sure that less than 3 years of front office experience is good enough in the Pacific Division (then again Hull was "the Ambassador of Fun" prior to Doug Armstrong's firing).

oddball Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Here's my take. Dallas was a good team. They were a good team under Hitchcock and a good team under Tippet. They just got full of themselves and thought they were better than they were in signing Avery. What I mean is that they had players who knew their roles and knew where they belonged. Then you bring in a loose cannon like Avery, who is just like Ray Emery and T.O. and Chad Johnson, and you kill that team chemistry. It becomes a team +1 and that is not a team at all. That one player can kill a team. You bring in a cancer and it's a coach killer. I don't understand why people think they can change these selfish players. You can't.

ninersdd Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Before the disastorous season this year, the Stars under Tippett never were lower then 6th in goals against. And he had a lot of things working against him this year like Avery, and long injuries to Morrow, Zubov, and Richards. I just don't get it right now.

oddball Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Nobody who knows anything about hockey understands this move. I think on ESPN, it was brought up that this just might be a power move by Nieuwendyk. It makes no sense at all. I understand the team is getting older, but holy cow, Tippet is a fine coach.
