A coach saying goodbye before he's officially fired is certainly rare, that's for sure. In Tiger Williams book, when he was with the Leafs, he wrote about Roger Nielsen having a feeling that he was coaching his last game with the Leafs in a game on the road against the Islanders (this is back in the day when Harold Ballard owned the Leafs). Sure enough, Nielsen was fired after a loss against the Isles.

Kelly Hrudey mentioned that he had to play a game knowing that he had already been traded.
Unsurprisingly, he played like shit.

And everything went good for the Leafs for years after they fired Roger.

/Bobby Clarke fired Nielsen for getting cancer. Somehow Ballard isn’t even the worst person to fire the guy lol

What really struck me is JT sitting there, alone, with no emotion on his face at the situation he pretty well created while the other players were elsewhere, together, waiting for Bruce to make his exit.

Has any signing in NHL history caused more damage to a franchise (besides Messier)?

Ask Columbus fans what they think of Adam Foote lol - I mean, you couldn't have bottled this any worse on purpose.
They could have brought in Dr Mark too :noidea: lol
