New Dallas coach Jim Montgomery brings a high-energy offense to the team. “We are going to be a puck-possession team and we are going to try to make plays everywhere on the ice,” Montgomery told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “When we don’t have the puck, we are going to pressure you so we can get it back and make more plays.”
