Pete DeBoer Fired

  1. This is what had to happen after Game 5. Unacceptable coaching cost them that series

  2. He deserves to be after those embarrassing comments he made about Otter. Never seen someone who’s supposed to be the leader do such a poor job of taking accountability.

  3. Unforced error Pete.

    One has to think he wanted this to happen…….or he really is so arrogant and not in control of his emotions.

  4. Felt like it was him or Ott, and that’s a no brainer choice to make between the two of them

  5. Surprised it took this long. Thing is, I dont see who would hire him after this. Even if he was upset with behind the scenes stuff or wanted out or whatever reason, what players want a coach that will absolutely bury them publicly and put all blame on goalie and double down in post-game pressers, etc?

  6. As a Stars fan, I’m relieved. Jim made the right call here. Lots more for the org to navigate this off season, but this is a good start.

  7. As a Hawks fan is there any chance we can fire our coach that hasn’t coached a game yet and hire him?

  8. Good. After us I was shocked Vegas picked him up, and then even more shocked Dallas did.

    I get WHY he did what he did. It’s a losing series, losing game, you are trying to look for anything to shake these guys up. As soon as they scored after the swap you might as well just bring Otter back in the 2nd.

    Feel bad for Dallas. You gotta imagine going into that game morale was tough, and then in the very beginning to have your coach show such lack of confidence. This is the team, you win or lose with what you have.

    Coachs job is to help get your players to get the most out of themselves and on that measure I just never jived with him.

  9. As a CBJ fan, I wasn’t a fan of DeBoer for blaming all the teams problems on Ott (who I am a fan of).

    Guy is delusional

  10. Good, now stay out of the West, please…

    Edit: no, fuck that. Go to the KHL. He could still beat us in a SCF.

  11. I think he’s a very good coach, but what he said about otter after he pulled him in the first fucking period is shameful

  12. Seems like it was either him or Otter and they sure as hell weren’t letting their star tendie leave

  13. After what he did to Otter?  Launch him into the sun.

    I have no skin in the game with Dallas but god damn that was some BS and you expect more from a HC.  Hell that would have been bad coming from an intern.

  14. DeBoer earned that on his own, in no way Otter would play for that man again

  15. I just hope this means that the Jason Robertson trade rumors were just a smokescreen for this decision.  

  16. DeBoer is a really good coach. I mean… 6 trips to the WCF in 8 years is an incredible run of consistency and he did it with 3 different teams.

    But throwing your players under the bus like he did to Otter is going to get you fired pretty quickly

  17. He’ll go somewhere else and lose in the finals his first year then consistently lose in the playoffs.
