Stars in no hurry to fill vacant coaching position
FRISCO, Texas-- It's hard to judge Jim Nill as the Dallas Stars' General Manager seeing how he's only been on the job for just over two weeks, but considering that the 55-year-old career hockey man is taking his time and using an approach to finding a replacement for now-former head coach Glen Gulutzan, who along with top assistant Paul Jerrard was relieved of his duties...

Stars fire head coach Glen Gulutzan, will Horachek become a candidate again?
Moments ago, the hockey world learned that Glen Gulutzan, now-former head coach of the Dallas Stars, had been terminated from his job. As the ball was dropped, the first thing that comes to my mind is Nashville Predators Associate Coach Peter Horachek.

2013 Season Review: Defensemen and Goalies
Alex Goligoski
I mentioned before the season started that this (half) year was going to the critical year in Goose’s Stars’ career. He had been getting a lot of grief (a lot) because of the trade that sent James Neal away. Out of all the players on the team, he was the one who was going to have to step up the most.

Erik Cole came to Dallas as part of that much-maligned Michael Ryder trade about a month into the season. He was working as a second/third liner in Montreal and took that same role with Dallas, ostensibly replacing Brenden Morrow.
On the ice, Cole had some nice games here and there, but he really failed to impress in his short time with the Stars. He had a bunch...
