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.
