Hartley first to get axe, and who is next ?

After only two weeks in to the NHL season,a first coaching casualty has occurred. Bob Hartley was fired as coach of the Atlanta Thrashers. It became obvious that this was going to happen,especially after the quick exit from the playoffs and the slow start.Waddell instead in taking a part of the responsibility for the debacle,simply threw Hartley under the bus and saved himself, but for how long ? This is the second time that Hartley has been fired, the first came after winning the Stanley cup in 2001 with Colorado.

On to the all expected question, ‘’who is next’’ plenty of candidates to choose from as the vulchers roam the skies.Paul Maurice’s name is buzzing out there in rumour land. Maybe Waddell and Ferguson can change jobs with each other, be better than getting fired, don’t you think? on the other hand why waste the ink,they will both be canned before Christmas anyways. in case your counting kids,sixty-eight shopping days til Christmas.
