Julien takes the fall in Chicago
Stars fire coach, Hartley to take over

Jan. 18, 2024 -- With the Chicago Stars in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time, management decided it was time for a change from the man who brought them their three prior postseason appearances.

Claude Julien was let go today by the Stars, replaced by Bob Hartley.

Chicago has been mired in last place in the tight Eastern Conference, and currently find themselves 11 points out of a playoff spot.

The team has dealt with injuries, most notably the scary neck injury to Tony Tanti followed by the loss of captain Bobby Orr, but management determined the Stars had been playing subpar before those injuries and they weren't going to be used as an excuse.

For his part, Julien took the high road, thanking Chicago for his time and saying he "didn't live up to expectations."

Seattle's surge comes to a halt

Remember that talk about the Seattle Storm's hot streak and a possible playoff push?

Maybe put that on ice for a while.

The Storm went 4-9-1 in January, closing with a five-game losing streak, to fall 10 points out in the playoff race, were leapfrogged by Los Angeles to push them into fifth in the conference and now the rumors have begun to swirl that coach Bruce Boudreau may be shown the door if Seattle fails to make the postseason.

"I don't worry about rumors," Boudreau said. "All I'm worried about is my team righting the ship and playing like we're capable of.

Los Angeles went 9-5-1 in January, with three of those losses coming to San Diego, the team the Royals - and Storm - are chasing for the third and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Mike Bossy had 9 goals and 11 assists on the month for the Royals and his line with Craig Janney and Patrick Kane seems to be building some chemistry. The Royals have also been lifted by Dominik Hasek, who put up a .928 save percentage for the month.
