Gotta wonder if Bettman’s threats of “severe punishment” to teams who didn’t report misconduct prompted the Stars to shove Montgomery out the door. Details should be interesting

I’m told the NHL was aware of the situation with Jim Montgomery even before Gary Bettman met the media here last night to announce the league’s 4-point plan, but that Montgomery’s dismissal does not fall under the auspices of that plan. Not related to it apparently.
