Breaking News: Eli Fired!

Ya that's right, Senators goaltending coach Eli Wilson has been let go by the club today. "Performance of the goaltenders in the organization had everything to do with it,” said Murray, reached at the team’s scouting meetings in Florida. “I think Eli was a hard worker and paid a lot attention to it, but for some reason, both at the NHL level and American league level, we felt that the goaltenders weren’t where we thought they were going to be and where they have shown they can be.”

This was a long time coming, as our goalies have been awful for years. Ironic that he was fired after the piece I wrote just before this but I'm glad to see changes coming. If you recall, Eli was brought in for Ray Emery and well, he's been gone awhile and for some mysterious reason, Eli stayed.

Thoughts on the move?

Is this where Murray start's firing personnel 1 by 1 until, hopefully, he gets fired himself.

Also, playing dodge ball, have we really sank to the Leafs level? I guess we have.
