So here we are.....who will b the first coach fired???? BOUDREAU---TOURIGNY---QUINN.....would bet on BOUDREAU....
Gaby good question. I am going to say NO on Tourigny because Arizona is in tank mode and their expectations aren't high and in fact are very low.
Although coaches have been fired in October in the past 5 years, I personally think it's a bit early. I would wait another few weeks to see what happens. However Quinn and Bourdreau are feeling the heat and might even be feeling or sensing the blades of the axe on their necks. Between those two, Quinn is the less accomplished coach and I never really understood why the Rangers hired him or why the Sharks did. Teams think he is a good developmental coach who can work with younger players as he was a college coach in the NCAA. Boudreau has a much more developed resume as NHL head coach.
Although Columbus isn't off to a terrible start, I am a little disappointed by their play so far as well.
Will be interested to see who gets fired first. My prediction is we will have our first firings before November 15. So Quinn and Boudreau really need to get their teams jump started if they wish to remain employed.
