Coach Pete DeBoer’s team is confident after beating Minnesota and Seattle in the first two rounds of the playoffs.The Stanley Cup was in the FOX 4 building on Friday. The Dallas Stars are trying to win it back for the first time since 1999."Unfortunately, he got fired. It's a tough business. But it was a gain for us. And we had a chance to hopefully maybe to sign him for our franchise and we did, and we've never looked back since," said Stars General Manager Jim Nill.
"It's the biggest thing I've noticed from Pete is the calming presence. You know, especially for young guys. The playoffs, it's ups and downs. You know, if you're down 2-1 you feel like our season might be over and he never once panicked. You know, he's believed in our group no matter what's happened. When it starts at the top like that with your head coach, it just trickles down to the whole group.
The Stars are inviting fans to watch the team’s road games on the big screens at the American Airlines Center.Tickets cost $5 and parking is free. Most concessions stands will be open.
