First-year Dallas Stars coach Jim Montgomery called out the franchise for a ”culture of mediocrity,” led a feedback-sharing session with players and briefly benched one of his top-scoring forwards. While they will never say Lites' somewhat shocking comments about his highest-profile and most expensive players have anything to do with it, the Stars clearly are eager to escape a rut of missing the playoffs in eight of the past 10 seasons.
