The Toronto Maple Leafs have made their move. Both Head coach Paul Maurice and Assistant coach Randy Ladouceur were fired this morning.

Firing coaches won't get you into playoffs.

It might if they can get the right people to take over those positions.

Maurice (and JFJ) should not have been hired in the first place and Quinn should not have been fired.

The Leafs are cleaning house totally. I like Maurice as a coach, but it is better to just completely start over. They will need to get rid of any of the their old/overpaid veterans they can. And just start with young guys, new management, and a new coach. This is one of the least talented teams in the NHL, and have no future with most of their players.
