Pat Quinn has been fired as head coach of our Toronto Maple Leafs. He went 300-222-52 with 26 shootout and overtime losses as Leafs coach, twice leading Toronto to the Eastern Conference final, losing to Buffalo in 1998-99 and Carolina 2001-02.
I sincerely believe every head coach has an expiration date. Eight years is more than enough. I've been calling for the axing of Quinn for a while, considering it a necessary step in gutting the pig.
It's time for Paul Maurice to step into the hot seat so the healing can begin. It's clear who won this power struggle.
