New Dallas Stars coach Peter DeBoer 'getting excited again' a month removed from losing job with Vegas Golden Knights

DALLAS -- Peter DeBoer didn't really hesitate to jump right back into coaching with the Dallas Stars about a month after he was fired by the Vegas Golden Knights.

Now the 54-year-old is ready to try to spark the offense of the only playoff team to get outscored during the 2021-22 regular season.

"The Vegas one rattled me," DeBoer said during his introductory news conference Wednesday, sitting next to general manager Jim Nill with captain Jamie Benn in the audience.

"I think as a coach and a veteran coach that's gone through it before, you lick your wounds for a couple of days, you reflect on what you could have done differently," he said.
