Waddell to Hartley: You're Fired!

The Atlanta Thrashers have have "dismissed Bob Hartley of his duties" today, that's wussy-speak for he was FIRED (or maybe Donald Trump has a copyright on that...) After starting the year 0-6, Thrashers management finally decided that enough was enough. General Manager Don Waddell will take the reigns on an interim basis. In my opinion, not like it matters, they were a little quick on the trigger with this decision. The Thrashers have a lot of assets, and could turn it around with just a few tactical adjustments. A name already being thrown in as a possible replacement, is Pat Burns. It would be nice to see him behind the bench again after defeating that scary bout of cancer, but I don't think he's the right fit for the Thrashers.
