That would be 4 coaches out of the 4 teams that started their season in Europe as Tom Renney was let go by the Rangers today. It looked like starting the season in Europe didn't slow down the Rangers any after a red-hot start but after 10 losses in the past 12 games, Renney was fired after only a couple of weeks after Michel Therrien of the Pittsburgh Penguins was fired. The other two teams that started in Europe, the Lightning and of course the Senators all fired their coaches earlier in the year as well.
It looks like a lot of the teams that got off to quick starts are starting to fall apart. While I know exactly how that feels after somehow surviving the 2007 - 2008 season with the Senators and certainly would not wish that on anybody...I sort of find it hilarious when it's the Rangers. Sorry, I'm petty like that.
I know I've been very quiet lately but the Senators have actually been quite busy trading Dean McAmmond and a first-round draft pick they received from the Tampa Bay Lightning via the San Jose Sharks to the New York Islanders for Mike Comrie and Chris Campoli. Yes, Comrie is now back with the Senators. The more pressing issue for me though is losing McAmmond. I miss McAmmond for largely sentimental reasons. I know he wasn't really contributing to the team at all and was most likely not in the future plans but I thought he was a good team guy and a personal favourite of mine. Here's hoping maybe he'll get another role in the organization should he decide to hang them up.
Bryan Murray says that more deals are to come. The playoffs are clearly out of the question for this year so I guess this means we'll be collecting draft picks.
