On Wednesday, the Maple Leafs announced that they have fired head coach Paul "Chairman Mo" Maurice. They have also relieved his long-time assistant Randy Ladouceur. Maruice had one year remaining on his contract, but had coached the Leafs to two consecutive losing seasons and the last two of three straight playoff-less seasons in Toronto. This lack of success is unacceptable in Toronto, and I'm pretty surprised that he lasted this long. Frankly, I'm surprised that they hired him in the first place.
Maurice was the head coach of the Whaler/Canes team between 1995 and 2003. When he was fired in December of 2003, he was the longest tenured coach in the NHL, and one of the youngest. Randy Ladouceur had been with him every step of the way.
Maurice had his job on the line in 2002, but the boys put together a miracle run to the Stanley Cup Finals, saving the Sault Ste Marie native's job. The following year, the Canes were the worst team in hockey and the natives were restless. They stumbled out of the gates again in 2003-04, and Maurice was quickly fired after starting the season 8-12-8-2.
He didn't coach at all during the lockout, then lucked into a head coaching job with the Toronto Marlies for the 2005-06 season. He parlayed that into a job with the Leafs, but it didn't go well.
Maurice is remembered around here for the bag skate he put the boys through at the tail end of "the season from hell" (2002-03). The tactic had worked the previous season, but that time, it didn't. There was a bit of a rebellion, a mutiny headed up by Jeff O'Neill. The two got in a highly publicized shouting match, and neither the player or the coach were the same afterwards. Most importantly, the coach had lost his control of the room.
Interim general manager Cliff Fletcher has stated that the point of firing Maurice and Ladouceur is that it will give an incoming GM the freedom to put his own coaches into place.
There are a few people around here who think that Jim Rutherford is in line for that GM position and that it would make sense for associate head coach Kevin McCarthy to go with. I'm not buying that, and I certainly won't be selling it.
Dave Nonis needs a job. Loads of other people are qualified and available for the
GM position in Toronto. I don't have any clue who will be Maurice's successor.

Canes beat Leafs in OT
On Thursday night, the Maple Leafs came in and suffered the same fate as last time they visited Raleigh. Carolina took advantage of an overtime power play to win the game 3-2.
Jiri (internet porn star) Tlusty got the Leafs on the board at 3:20 of the first. Mats Sundin made a nifty drop pass to Tlusty, who banged it it off the post. Hal Gill got the secondary assist.
At 13:19 of the second, Timmay Gleason fired a shot from the right point that somehow found its way in the net. It caromed off a couple of players, and there was some review to see if it had been re-directed with a high stick. The final ruling was that it had last hit Leafs defenseman Ian White. Scott Walker andSergei Samsonov Ray Whitney got the assists.
At 3:29 of the third, there was another controversial play. Again involving a Tim Gleason shot. He took a shot through heavy traffic from the high slot. Walker had collided with Leafs goaltender Vesa Toskala, but there was no interference call made. Walker tipped the puck in, and they again reviewed for a high stick, but again, it came back as a goal, which was consistent with the call on the ice. Gleason and Bret Hedican got the assists. This would later be fodder for a Chairman Mo tirade.
It looked like the Leafs had tied it when Jason Blake was involoved in a tight play on the goal line. The call on-ice was that the puck never crossed the line. Replays were not conclusive enough to overturn the call, but it sure looked like it might have crossed the line, then been brought back by Ward. This would later be fodder for a Chairman Mo tirade.
In the waning seconds of the game, the Leafs' captain notched an overtime-forcing goal. Darcy Tucker took a shot from an impossible angle below the right circle. He was doing exactly what you're supposed to do in that situation. He fired it at the net and hoped for the best. Sundin was there, and the shot went off his skate and in. Again, there was a review to see if it had been kicked in, but the goal was rightfully allowed to stand.
2:34 into the bonus frame, Nik Antropov was whistled for hooking Cory Stillman. Really, it was more like a slash, but either way, it was a stick foul. This would later be fodder for a Chairman Mo tirade.
At 3:20, Ray Whitney found Rod Brind'Amour alone in the slot, and Brindy potted the game winner from there. Cory Stillman got the second helper.
Artropov lost his marbles at this point. He came out of the penalty box, launched his stick at the referees and stomped off to the locker room. He was slapped with two game misconduct penalties. The "abuse of officials" carries a mandatory three game suspension.
The official three stars were Walker (third), Gleason (second) and Brind'Amour (first), but I can't quite do it like that. The RBH three stars:
THIRD STAR Mats Sundin, TOR --- 1 goal, 1 assist
SECOND STAR Rod Brind'Amour, CAR --- GWG
FIRST STAR Tim Gleason, CAR --- 1 goal, 1 assist, +2, 4 blocked shots, 4 hits

Leafs front office, bench in turmoil; Rutherford, Francis not going anywhere
There certainly has been a lot of talk about the Maple Leafs. The team is struggling, and everyone is talking about replacing players, coach Paul Maurice and even general manager John Ferguson Jr. Although the writing is on the wall, MLSE President Richard Peddie denies reports that he is looking to replace Mo and JFJ.
Peddie admitted, with the benefit of hindsight, that it was a mistake to hire Ferguson in 2003. Neil Smith and Steve Tambellini were both leading candidates for the position, but MLSE went with the inexperienced Ferguson.
Certain bloggers and even some journalists are suggesting that Ron Francis is being considered for the job. There is also some speculation -again, by bloggers- that Hurricanes GM Jim Rutherford is in consideration.
Neither is going anywhere.
There's an awful lot of talk about a few other guys, who would all be "rookie GMs". Steve Yzerman and Mark Messier are a few names, but that just reeks of Garth Snow. Sure, these guys were much much better players than Garth Snow, but they were just players. I think those names are being thrown out just for fun.
Another name is John Muckler. Most recently, Muckler was the General Manager of the Senators between 2001 and 2007. Previous to that, he had twelve years of head coaching experience with the Rangers, the Sabres and the Oilers.
The other, more likely candidates, according to the article in the Toronto Star are:
As the losses pile up, I really wouldn't be surprised to see both Chairman Mo and JFJ lose their jobs.
My bet would be that Campbell takes the GM position and that former Thrashers bench boss Bob Hartley takes the head coach position.
If that comes to pass, we would all find new ways to hate "Clownshoes Campbell" and Hartley. It'll be fun.
Peddie admitted, with the benefit of hindsight, that it was a mistake to hire Ferguson in 2003. Neil Smith and Steve Tambellini were both leading candidates for the position, but MLSE went with the inexperienced Ferguson.
"To be honest, it was a mistake on my part for not fully understanding at the time what the job of being (the Leafs GM) in this market fully entailed. Let's face it. It probably was the wrong place for a rookie general manager to start. I mean, all GMs make mistakes, but they are not under the constant microscope and scrutiny that you have in Toronto, which is, in our opinion, the top hockey market there is.
"That is all hindsight now. John has had time to learn a lot since then."

The other, more likely candidates, according to the article in the Toronto Star are:
- legendary NHL coach Scotty Bowman, who has already said no.
- hockey analyst and former NHL goalie Glenn Healy. Healy had a 15 year career in the NHL with the Kings, Islanders, Rangers and Leafs. Since retiring in 2001, he's worked for CSC and TSN doing color commentary and analysis. Credentials as GM = none.
- NHL Vice President and Director of Hockey Operations Colin "Clownshoes" Campbell. Campbell has reportedly been approached about the position, and he has a way to get out of his NHL obligations to take a GM position. He was head coach of the Rangers for four seasons between 1994 and 1998. He was offered the GM position in Philadelphia in 2006, but he rejected it with hopes that the Toroto position would become available.
As the losses pile up, I really wouldn't be surprised to see both Chairman Mo and JFJ lose their jobs.
My bet would be that Campbell takes the GM position and that former Thrashers bench boss Bob Hartley takes the head coach position.

Canes eke out 2-1 win; Wesley joins elite group.
On Saturday, the Hurricanes defeated the visiting Kitties 2-1 on two goals by Rod Brind'Amour. Glen Wesley became just the 10th defenseman to play in 1,400 games. Most importantly was that Carolina snapped a two game losing streak, and earned a regulation win against a division opponent.
The game wasn't televised by Carolina or Florida. Even with Center Ice, I couldn't watch this game. So it was Chuckandtheletterk for me.
Surprisingly, it was Cam Ward rather than Johnny Crackers who started in nets. I figured since Cam worked last night and Grahame has played well against the Kitties, it would be #47. Maybe coach Laviolette lost faith in him after the 6-1 shelling in The City of Tampa the other night. After the embarrassing 6-1 and 2-0 losses to Tampa and Atlanta respectively, there were obviously no points streaks for any Hurricanes players.
There was, however, a streak of home games without a loss against the Kitties on the line. The last time Florida won in Raleigh was December 6, 2002. Chairman Mo was still here. Kevin Weekes was still here. Jeff O'Neill was still here. Even Arturs Irbe was still here. Sandis Ozolinsh had the game winning goal and Roberto Luongo was the winning goaltender in a 2-0 shutout. I was at that game, and it was miserable. It was just after a horrendous ice storm had paralyzed the state. I had no power or heat for nine days during the coldest winter we've had in some time. I had an out-of-town visitor staying with my in my frigid, powerless apartment. Her whole reason for visiting -- an Aimee Mann concert -- fell through because the interstate highways were shut down and we couldn't go. Nothing went right. That whole visit was a fiasco that's another story for another day.
Anyway, it had been a looooooong time since the Kitties has won a game in the RBC Center, and the home team intended to keep it that way.
Rod Brind'Amour made sure it stayed that way. He scored a power play goal at 9:52 of the first period and an even strength goal at 2:44 of the third. The second goal was waived off on the ice, and the indication was that it had been kicked in. Brindy demanded a video review, and the on-ice ruling was overturned.
Nathan Horton foiled Cam Ward's shutout bid at 13:59 of the third with a power play. Again, I had no visual, but Chuckandtheletterk described it as fluky. Apparently, he was below the goal line, threw one at the net and it went in off Glen "Mr. 1400" Wesley.
Late in the third, Carolina had to kill off a long 5-on-3 power play.
For some reason, Florida elected not to pull Vokoun until there were about 30 seconds left, and Carolina was unable to get an empty net goal for their Captain. As a matter of fact, Vokoun was only out of net for about 10 seconds before going back in.
Nic Wallin returned to the lineup, but for some reason, "Avi" Tanabe stayed in as a seventh defenseman. Also, for some strange reason, Jeff Hamilton had very limited ice time. Despite being a consistently good player, and the only one who showed up against Tampa, Hambone was limited to five shifts tonight for a grand total of 5:45 TOI. I'd much rather see Hambone double shifted than have Avi Tanabe as a seventh defenseman/forward.
I'll defer to the "official" three stars:
THIRD STAR Tim Gleason, CAR --- 5 hits, 3 blocked shots, 2 takeaways, 5 PIM
SECOND STAR Cam Ward, CAR --- 27 saves, win
FIRST STAR Rod Brind'Amour, CAR --- 2 goals, GWG
Carolina will have a few days off before hosting the Flyers on Wednesday.

Chairman Mo puts Leafs through bag skate
Paul Maurice has been upset with the inconsistent play of his Maple Leafs, and he forced them to pay a heavy price.
After getting bitch-slapped by the Capitals 7-1 on Monday, the Leafs coach put his team through one of his legendary "bag skate" practices on Wednesday. No drills. No passing, no shooting. Just skating. And skating. And skating. And more skating. You know the scene in "Miracle" when Herb Brooks forces team USA to repeatedly do "herbies"? It's like that.
Bates Battaglia, who was in Carolina for a few years, suffered a couple "bag skates" under Maurice's watch.
In December 2001, the Hurricanes were struggling and were on the outside of the potential playoff bubble. After a few consecutive sloppy losses, a furious Maurice put his team through the rigorous "bag skate". After the session, the team snapped into place, went on a winning streak, won their division, and ultimately made a Cinderalla run all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals.
At the tail end of the 2002-03 season, with the Canes out of the playoffs, Maruice again put the boys through a "skating only" practice. Instead of being a wake-up call, it created more problems than there already were. After the bag skate, Carolina won just six of their last 26 games. Jeff O'Neill had a highly publicized shouting match with Chariman Mo that day, and he (O'Neill) was never the same after that. He went from being a hero, a fan favorite to being a chump on and off the ice and a pariah. Maurice never regained control of the team, and he lost his job here early in the 2003-04 season. O'Neill never regained his form, and was traded to the Leafs. Apparently, the two buried the hatchet last season, but O'Neill is nowhere to be found this year.
How will the Leafs respond?

Canes host a bunch of Canes castoffs Leafs tonight
Tonight at the RBC Center, the Canes will play host to the Leafs, and it will be a homecoming of sorts for many of the Leafs.
This will be the first time that Leafs Coach Paul Maurice has been back to Raleigh since being fired midway through the 2003-04 season. Maurice was the longest tenured coach in the League, and although he led his team to a fluke appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals in 2002, he wasn't doing well. His non-aggressive style of hoping for a 2-1 game every night landed his team in the League's basement in 2002-03 and they were headed that same way in 2003-04. After being replaced by Peter Laviolette, Maurice went to coach the AHL Toronto Marlies.
It was there that he got re-acquainted with one time Canes winger Bates Battaglia, who had a good season in 2002, but became more known for his clashes with Maurice and also for his party boy lifestyle in 2003. He was traded to Colorado for Radim Vrbata, then traded from Colorado to Washington for Steve Konowalchuk. Then he was let go. I mean really let go. He found himself down at the ECHL level. However, when Maurice was hired to coach the Marlies, he gave Battaglia a try-out, and he did well there. After a 67 (20/47) point season there last year, he has worked his way back up to the NHL level, thanks again to a chance given him by Maurice.
In the off-season, Battaglia still lives in Raleigh where he runs a really crappy bar called "Lucky B's". His father also lives in Raleigh, where he runs a restaurant or two.
Jeff O'Neill, who was once one of the star players for the Canes, fell from grace really quickly. He had a much publicized blow-up with Maurice after a bag skate, and his work ethic really started to go down hill fast in the 2003-04 season. He went from being a steady 60 point scorer to putting up 34 points that season, and he clearly wasn't putting forth any effort on the ice or in the weight room. During the lockout, he didn't play at all, choosing to get fat and drunk. He was arrested for his second DUI, and the team quickly lost their patience with him. Then tragedy struck. His brother was killed in a single car accident, and he expressed an interest in being traded to Toronto. The team obliged, making a draft day trade, essentially "letting him go". It was a perfect resolution to a sticky situation. The team wanted him out due to his poor play and poor conditioning. Aside from that, he wanted out for family reasons.
O'Neill has of course been back a couple of times last season. He was met with the same boos that he received even when he played here. I have no idea how Chairman Mo and Bates Battaglia will be greeted, but I can say that there's not a whole lot of love for either of those guys. We're happy for them that they both landed good jobs, but we still don't like them.
