ESPN has an article with Stars CEO ripping Benn and Seguin for not living up to their contracts/ expectations. Why is he going public with that shit?  It just seems odd as hell, unless he's a bitch.

Wanna know what's odder?  The article closes with Benn and Seguin both quoted saying they haven't lived up to expectations.  In any other league, this shit would be all melodramatic and catfight-ish.  Count this as reason 4563728 why hockey is better.

Oh there's a ton of drama it's just on the inside. Hockey rarely leaks the problems from within. 

Lites said both of them have desire but they think it's easy. That tells me they're seeing those two not put in the work and not set the example/demand more work from everyone else. They're sick of it and Lites decided it would be better for him to make the call out to motivate them rather than the first year coach who's still trying to get buy in. 

I don't know if Benn and Segin don't respect Monty and that's why they're apparently loafing around but it may have been premature letting hitch go. He was the usual demanding hitch but the organization caved to bitching players instead of telling them to toughen up. Segin's pending negotiation may have had a lot to do with that even though on the surface  he should love Hitch as last season was about the best he's looked.

5-1 halfway through the 3rd against Det. 
Benn and Seguin combined for 1 point. Granted we would be bitching about depth scoring if they had scored all the points.
Benn plays better when he's pissed off.

No Hitch was not the answer. Look at Spezza this season vs last season. Also Hanzal was 100% a Hitch request. It's the giant center he loves and it was a dumb fucking acquisition at the time and it's being proven to be a dumb acquisition now.
