What on earth is going on?
Despite making the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, the New York Knicks decided to fire their head coach Tom Thibodeau recently, and for some reason, the Dallas Stars are surprisingly making the same move.

The Stars made the announcement Friday morning that they fired their head coach Pete DeBoer despite the skipper getting the franchise to the Western Conference Finals for three consecutive seasons.
“After careful consideration, we believe that a new voice is needed in our locker room to push us closer to our goal of winning the Stanley Cup,” said General Manager Jim Nill in an official statement. “We’d like to thank Pete for everything that he has helped our organization achieve over the past three seasons and wish him nothing but the best moving forward.”

Apparently, the firing stems from Dallas players not being happy with DeBoer and how he dealt with the series against the Edmonton Oilers, both during and afterwards. The Stars lost to the Oilers in five games.
Noise out of Dallas re: Pete DeBoer. Per multiple sources, players are not pleased with how he handled several situations during the WCF, along with post Gm5 & exit media remarks. Told players voiced concerns during internal exit interviews. DeBoer has 1yr left on his contract.
