We should look into the angle about playing a team with a new coach for the Canes next game. Gotta love when the coach gets canned for the players not doing their jobs.
The Carolina Hurricanes have fired coach Paul Maurice, ESPN The Magazine's EJ Hradek has learned.
The team has called a news conference for 4 p.m. ET.
Maurice, the second-youngest and longest-tenured coach in the NHL, was in his ninth season with the Hurricanes. He is the club's all-time leader in regular season (268) and playoff (17) wins and regular season (674) and playoff (35) games coached. Maurice led the Hurricanes to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2002, where they lost in five games to the Detroit Red Wings.
The Hurricanes, who just completed a 1-2-0-1 road trip, are 8-12-8-2 this season. They currently are in fourth place in the Southeast Division and are 13th in the Eastern Conference.
