Just arrived in Toronto for tonight's game at Buffalo against the Sabres (no, I didn't flunk geography at Syracuse, it's all about finding a flight to Ottawa tomorrow) and came across this item.
Truly bizarre. All coaches know they're ultimately hired to be fired but the worst-case scenario is usually mid-season, not mid-game.
