[Report] Senators fire Paul Maclean


Recommended Posts

I remember a 5-10 second shot last night of MacLean talking to Karlsson and Karlsson just looked completely fed up. I wonder if the owners decided there was too much of a disconnect between their captain/best player and coach.

first thing that came to my mind as well

Bad move, but was pretty much inevitable. To me Bryan Murray is to blame for the Senators' fall since going to the finals. Muckler already lost Chara for nothing, and Murray let Heatley and Spezza go for basically nothing substantial. Michalek have been a serviceable top 6, at most. Questionnable picks, bad trade.

MacLean was doomed either way. With the owner not willing to let go of his puppet Murray, the blame had to be put on someone and Murray to save his ass had no choice. If Murray was canned then, the new GM would probably have hired his coach anyways.

Murray is not the GM anymore, he is dying from stage 4 colon cancer.
