Paul Maurice has finally been relieved of his duties as coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs. He probably will not get a fair assessment for his efforts in TO but he did quite well despite the limited supporting cast. He has a great deal to offer a team and I'm certain that he will land on his feet. He will certainly end up in a better place. I'm not sure if he will get a seat on the NHL coaching carousel this summer and end up in Florida or Atlanta for instance for the start of the 2008-09 season - there are too many Dale Hunters and Randy Cunneyworths out there at the moment - but perhaps he'll do the same as he did post Carolina. A bit of TV work, and eventually an AHL seat while he waits for his next shot.
If you see him, buy him a beer for me.
(Hmmm, I wonder if this was meant to coincide with the slow hockey news day for TSN and G&M.)
