Pat Quinn fired from the Maple Leafs

In a widely speculated move it seems the Toronto Maple Leafs have fired their longtime coach Pat Quinn. There is a press conference scheduled at 1pm today. Pat held the GM position with the Leafs for a number of years too. This is the first year the Leafs have missed the playoffs in what feels like forever and somebody had to pay for it and for the moment that person is Pat Quinn. This wasn't a surprising move since the Leafs already have an experience NHL head coach working for their minor league club the Marlies, that coach is Paul Maurice.
