The National Hockey League’s regular season has come to an end and teams from around the league that failed to blossom into a playoff contender this season are now doing some major spring cleaning.
On Friday, we saw a number of high profile firings that ranged from executives to coaching staff and it would appear that the trend is set to continue over the course of the weekend.
The latest comes to us courtesy of Columbus Blue Jackets insider Aaron Portzline, who reported on Saturday morning that 2 members of the Blue Jackets coaching staff had been given their walking papers. According to Portzline’s report, both head coach Brad Larsen and goaltending coach Manny Legace were informed that they would no longer be with the team moving forward. Legace, a former NHL goaltender in his own right, simply did not have his contract renewed whereas Larsen was fired from his role.
