Dallas Stars fire coach Pete DeBoer
'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,' longtime general manager Jim Nill said. Advertisement The Oilers won four consecutive games in the series after the Stars had a five-goal outburst in the third period of Game 1 to win by that same 6-3 score. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Dallas became the first team to reach the conference finals three seasons in a row without winning at least one Cup title under the playoff format that began in 1994. The Stars didn't even give themselves a chance to play for one. DeBoer, who turns 57 this month, had a 149-68-29 record in regular-season games and 29-27 in the playoffs with the Stars, whose 113 points during the 2023-24 season were just one off the franchise record set by their only Stanley Cup-winning team in 1998-99. He is 662-447-152 overall in 17 seasons with Dallas, New Jersey, Florida, Vegas, and San Jose, plus 97-82 in 10 postseason appearances. Advertisement Stars owner Tom Gaglardi said the day after the season finale that DeBoer was a seasoned coach, top three to top five in the league, and that he didn't see firing DeBoer being on anyone's agenda. Something certainly changed since then with DeBoer, who had one season remaining on his contract. This was the sixth time in seven seasons, with three different teams, that DeBoer took a team to the brink of the Stanley Cup Final. That included the NHL semifinals during the 2021 season with Vegas when there were no conference-based playoffs because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Stars last went to the Stanley Cup Final in 2020, the playoff held in the bubble in Canada because of the pandemic. They won the West final that year in five games over DeBoer-coached Vegas. Dallas was led by Rick Bowness, who replaced the fired Jim Montgomery during the season. DeBoer was hired after the Stars moved on from Bowness.

'Forget about the past': Fans weigh in on criticism of Wayne Gretzky over Trump ties
EDMONTON — It wasn't long ago that some Canadians were up in arms about hockey legend Wayne Gretzky's ties to U.S. President Donald Trump's administration. But as the Edmonton Oilers skate their way through the Stanley Cup final, hockey fans say it's time to let bygones be bygones. Advertisement "I don't think it matters," said Craig Hiscock, a longtime Oilers fan, as he posed Wednesday for a photo with a statue of Gretzky outside Rogers Place in Edmonton ahead of Game 1. "Let's forget about the past. What he did here was a lot for the city, a lot for hockey." The statue was vandalized in March and smeared with what appeared to be and strongly smelled like feces. On Wednesday, a hip-high metal fence was up around the bronze figure. An online petition started in February calling for a new name for Wayne Gretzky Drive also has about 14,000 signatures. Gretzky, the Ontario-born hockey star who led the Oilers to four Stanley Cup victories in the 1980s, recently drew the ire of Canadians for his public support of Trump, who has repeatedly expressed his desire for Canada to join the U.S and become its 51st state. Advertisement The Great One was photographed with Trump several times at the president's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. In January, Gretzky and his wife, Janet, attended Trump's inauguration in Washington. Frustrations grew after he appeared as honorary captain for Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off final with the United States. Video footage showed him giving the U.S. team a thumbs-up as he walked to the ice. Gretzky also congratulated Dallas Stars players in their locker room last month, after they advanced to the Western Conference final. The Oilers eliminated the Stars in five games and now have one win against the Florida Panthers in the Cup final. Game 2 is Friday night. Advertisement Brian Foulken, who became a fan during the Gretzky era and collects Oilers merchandise, said Gretzky's accomplishments, including multiple scoring records that stand to this day, still resonate with people. As for the criticism, Foulken said people are going to have their own opinions. "At the end of the day, (Gretzky) played here for a long time. The diehard Oilers (fans), we love him,' he said outside the arena before Game 1. "He's an amazing player." Foulken added that current Oilers captain Connor McDavid is inching closer to Gretzky-level greatness. Darren Rogers, a Gretzky fan since the Oilers' inception into the NHL in 1979, said Gretzky's leadership led the team to win multiple Stanley Cups. Advertisement Politics aside, that accomplishment should matter more to people in the grand scheme of things, Rogers said. Gretzky was in Edmonton for Wednesday's game. And as storied as Gretzky is to the Oilers franchise, he appeared to still be catching up to this new generation's fan base. On an American sports network, he sat side by side with commentators, as they discussed the Oilers' new tradition of playing the pop song "Pink Pony Club." Players have been tight-lipped about the significance of the Chappell Roan hit, typically heard after the team plays "La Bamba" by Los Lobos following a win. Advertisement "Pink Pony — is that a band or is that a song?" the 64-year-old Gretzky asked TNT Sports co-host Paul Bissonnette following the Oilers' 4-3 overtime victory in Game 1. "(Roan) sings a song, 'Pink Pony Club,' and it's famous. It's on the radio," Bissonnette answered. "It's the new generation, Wayne," he added. Gretzky appeared disappointed to learn Roan isn't Canadian, but still seemed eager to check out the song. "I gotta get that (as) my ringtone," Gretzky said.

4 free agents the Panthers should consider signing before mandatory minicamp
4 free agents the Panthers should consider signing before mandatory minicamp In what was perhaps the least surprising (and to some, the most exasperating) development of the 2025 offseason, 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers finally agreed to join the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday. The four-time Most Valuable Player, after months of "uncertainty," is now headed to the AFC North for the upcoming campaign—giving Pittsburgh the starting quarterback they've long needed to secure. So if the Steelers were able to fill a glaring need this late into the spring, can other teams also find themselves some effective remedies at this point? And can the Carolina Panthers, in particular, add the cherry on top of what's been a successful past few months? Well, they just might. Here are four remaining free agents the Panthers should consider signing before the start of next week's mandatory minicamp: CB Mike Hilton Last month's release of outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney, the team's leading sack-getter in 2024, was a strong indicator that the Panthers are invested in their youth movement. In essence, they moved out the 32-year-old to move in the likes of 26-year-old Pat Jones II and their pair of Day 2 draft picks, Nic Scourton and Princely Umanmielen. They may have the same train of thought at nickelback—where 2024 fifth-rounder Chau Smith-Wade, and perhaps even 2025 fourth-rounder Lathan Ransom, will get the opportunity to seize the position. But if they want a more proven presence on the inside, Hilton is as reliable as they come from the slot. CB Asante Samuel Jr. Carolina's prospects at outside cornerback aren't exactly great either. The unit isn't deep behind Pro Bowler Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson, with Shemar Bartholomew and Akayleb Evans currently penciled in as the next line of defense. Samuel, 25, started in 47 of his 50 career games for the Los Angeles Chargers between 2021 and 2024. His playmaking ability, which has helped produce six interceptions and 37 passes defensed, could even give Jackson some competition as Horn's running mate. S Julian Blackmon Many Panthers fans have been waiting on their team to sign Blackmon for quite some time now. They got a little teaser back in March, when he was brought in for a visit, and haven't really heard anything on the 26-year-old since. While Tre'von Moehrig does have the chops to play both strong and free safety, Carolina may benefit from having a bonafide playmaker to pair with their big free-agent signing. Blackmon, who notched seven interceptions over the last two seasons, could (and maybe should) be that guy. S Justin Simmons Like Blackmon, Simmons presents a solid solution to the backend of the Panthers defense. Outside of Moehrig, Carolina's safety room consists of Ransom, Demani Richardson, Nick Scott and three undrafted rookies—so mixing in an established veteran would probably be a wise move. Simmons, a four-time second-team All-Pro and two-time Pro Bowler, even spent a season with Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero back in Denver.
