--Paul Maurice took news of his firing with his customary sense of humor. He was 76-66-22 as Leafs' coach, but missed the playoffs both seasons.

"I've had a month off, I'm ready (for another job)," he joked at a press conference on May 8. "(If he'd known there would be two years of grief) I'd still have taken this job. It's been a great experience. I'd do it again in a heartbeat."

But at a late-season meeting with interim general manager Cliff Fletcher, Maurice expressed a desire to be let go sooner than later if Fletcher decided on a change. The 41-year-old Maurice will seek another head coaching job or perhaps work in the media.

--Assistant coach Randy Ladouceur was let go along with Maurice, while Keith Acton was retained and Dallas Drake given the opportunity to take another role in the organization. Ladouceur was the only coach hired exclusively by Maurice.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"Good luck." -- Fired coach Paul Maurice, on any advice his has for his successor.

This is ridiculous. I am watching every other team improve (some overpaying yes) and watching the Leafs do just enough not too finish dead last in the league. This team is driving me nuts.

From all of the research oI've done and the very little I have seen of this guy, he is useless.

Why did we trade a somewhat promising defensemen and a second round pick for him

THE Maple Leafs ARE DRIVING ME ****ING NUTS

After todays announcement that the Leafs have signed Frogren from the Swedish Elite League, the Leafs now have 10 defencemen...  Cliffy appears to be stockpiling defensive types, recent aquisitions being Frogren (1 pt all last season), Finger, Schenn, all of whom are stay at homers...

1.  Kaberle

2.  Kubina

3.  McCabe

4.  Coliacov ...(more)

Seems to me that the Leafs have too much money invested in their defense already....

McCabe, Kubina, Kaberle, Coliacovo, White, Stralman....  Is Finger better than any of them?.... Maybe White....  But he should be one of the young players who should get some time....

Does this spell the end for someone?  Possibly McCabe?
