Dave Tippett got himself a new three-year deal as coach in Dallas not long ago, but his Stars are way too dim. Doug Armstrong lost his GM job when the Texans came out flat last year. Now it might be Tippett's turn. As of yesterday morning, the Stars had six wins. They followed five of those wins with losses in which they gave up a minimum five goals. And wait, it gets worse. Brenden Morrow was diagnosed Friday with a torn ACL that will need surgery. Out for six months.

Avery should be on the hot seat also. I think his body is on the ice but his mind is working on fashion designs for Vogue magazine.

Ted Nolan would have them playing over their heads in no time.

He takes them to the Conference Finals last year, something nobody expected, and now his job is on the line? If that's not an example of "What have you done for me lately", I don't know what is.

Didn't we have this exact same rumor a few days ago? Can't these morons come up with some new material?

Nolan should be coaching the Canucks.

Tippetts fine. I predicted this slow start at the beginning of the year. they are gonna suck for about 8 more games then they will "click". Mark my words.

Now we know! So, that's were all that smoke was coming from! Tippett's arse roasting on the hot seat, not friction in the dressing room!
