Lost four straight Game 7s at home; no timetable for replacement
ANAHEIM -- Bruce Boudreau
was fired as coach of the Anaheim Ducks on Friday, two days after losing
a fourth straight Stanley Cup Playoff Game 7 at home.
"Bruce was a good coach. Won a lot of hockey games, won four division titles, and he's a very passionate hockey guy," Anaheim general manager Bob Murray said at Honda Center. "But the bottom line for me was that I did not feel that going forward and making the playoffs again, it would not be a good situation."
Under
Boudreau, the Ducks won the Pacific Division four times but were
eliminated in a Game 7 each season, including 2-1 by the Nashville
Predators in the Western Conference First Round on Wednesday."Bruce was a good coach. Won a lot of hockey games, won four division titles, and he's a very passionate hockey guy," Anaheim general manager Bob Murray said at Honda Center. "But the bottom line for me was that I did not feel that going forward and making the playoffs again, it would not be a good situation."
