The month of Firings?

Let the Firings Begin

The Boston Bruins gave Dave Lewis his walking papers this week after only one season of coaching the Bruins and also according to the Toronto Sun, the Ottawa Senators have fired general manager John Muckler. I guess Muckler will no longer be trying to sign Brian Lee eh?

My first question to the Bruins is why did they wait so long to fire Lewis, especially with the draft coming up? Now in an contrast of the two situations: John Muckler takes his team to the Stanley Cup finals and still gets fired while Dave Lewis for the most part was inaffective the whole season as the coach of the Boston Bruins going 1-10-1 down the stretch, that is only three points out of a possible 24 points.


Muckler Gone
Muckler wouldn't discuss the issue with the paper, directing all inquiries to Senators owner Eugene Melnyk.

"I haven't been told anything," Muckler told the Sun when asked about potential changes.

But two senior NHL executives told Sun Media they believe Melnyk gave Muckler his walking papers on Friday.
