07:45 AM ET 11.17 | The Stars have been talking a lot lately about mistrust and finger-pointing, as they struggle to find their game again. Some players said there should be more talking while others said it has to stop and be replaced by action. But coach Dave Tippett said the level of any locker-room friction has been greatly exaggerated. "A lot of stuff gets overblown in the media, that's the way society is right now. If anything, it makes us closer because they see the [stuff] that's being said," Tippett said. "Everybody likes to see a car wreck, but a lot of times it's just a fender bender. It's been way overblown."

With the salary cap, there is going to be a lot of turnover on rosters. That means players will have to develop chemistry and some teams will take longer than others. Maybe Avery needs to take them to a fashion show.

Sure sign that the coach is gone. As a political junkie, I know the first clue to believing a story is to wait for the denials

Kind of like Chief Wiggam from the Simpsons..."move along people, nothin to see here."

What else was the coach to say.....if you have dissension among the ranks it sure doesn't need to hit the headlines and, thus, the magnifying glass.

There is nothing that brings out talk of dissention in the ranks like playing poorly. I dont think Avery can do that much damage this early. No matter how much of an a***ole he is.

Bringing Avery into the dressing room has "Tippetted" the scales in Dave's demise.

To help the Simpsons reference, and to provide the irony, I have to guess that while this interview was be done there was a fight in the locker room right over Tippett's shoulder. Tippett: "No, there's no truth to these specious rumors." Background:"Arrrrghhhh, he bit my ear!" Tippett: "This interview's over."

"Plato was a bore."- Nietzsche. "Nietzsche was stupid and abnormal"- Tolstoy. But those guys were idiots compared to Mel Brooks.

I'm a stars fan and I think for this team to win, Turco needs to step up his game, big time. And next the defense, but i'm cutting them some slack, besides Zubov and Sydor(woah!), they're young and just need time to gel together
