Former Dallas ties drew Muller to Blues
/The St. Louis Post-Dispatch recalls that new Blues assistant coach Kirk Muller finished his playing career in Dallas when Doug Armstrong was the GM and Ken Hitchcock was the coach.
“Once I talked to Doug, I really didn’t pursue anything else,” Muller said. “I’m familiar with them from the Dallas days. I just know that they’re hardworking guys and the team really patterns off their work habits. I love the style and the type of team they’ve put together.”
Muller has an appreciation for Hitchcock’s coaching abilities.
“A big reason I came was my respect for him,” Muller said. “He’s such a great coach. I always said when I was in Dallas, one thing he does is he prepares his teams well. So that’s going to be a lot of fun.”
