Pat Quinn just got canned today in what was a "necessary" move according to Maple Leaf GM John Ferguson. The media absolutely ripped Fergie apart at the press conference, and it seems my whole hypothesis regarding the Leafs' season is starting to hold true: bomb out, miss the playoffs, fire Quinn, bring up Paul Maurice from the Marlies (AHL associates), and hope for the best.
Ferguson has balls to fire Quinn and to point the finger at him for failure this season, a season in which Ferguson clearly stated to the press, "We are not a contender this year." Quinn's second in wins as head coach for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and he's also coach for Team Canada. I see no means for dismissal. I just think it's a load of shit, and as far as I know, the Leafs have failed for the past 40 years, nevermind just this past season. Douchebags.
