Shocking Twist: Stars Part Ways with DeBoer After Promising 3 Seasons – What’s Next for the Team?
Nill said after exit interviews were completed with the players and an internal assessment of the season was completed, it was determined a new voice in the locker room was necessary. He added that events that took place after Game 5 were a component of the decision, but it was not the one factor that tipped the scales regarding a coaching change.
However, Nill did not dismiss the idea a change was being considered prior to the Stars’ playoff exit.
“I have no problem with the pull [of Oettinger]. If you’re coaching and you just let two goals in, you have to change momentum,” Nill said. “I think everybody [had problems with the comments after]. I think even Pete was remorseful of it a little bit. I don’t think he handled that the way he wanted to. But you have to remember the duress, the pressure, everything going on with that [at that time].”
