OTTAWA-- The Senators, having been ''blanked'' in 2 consecutives games (5-0: vs TOR, 4-0: vs BOS), relieved head coach John Paddock and assistant coach Ron Low from their coaching duties today. Paddock seemed like a brilliant coach at the beginning of the season, as the Sens had a 16-3-0 record after 19 games and seemed like they would win the East easily. Unfortunately, things haven't been that easy for them since, as they've gone 20-19-6 in their last 45 games and are now ranked 2nd in the East.
Even though fired, the Senators Organization would like to retain them both, and have submitted to Paddock a "mainly scouting" position, that he will consider over the next few weeks.
General Manager Bryan Murray will step behind the bench, and try to lead his team to the Stanley Cup Finals like he did last season. He will continue to perform his duties as General Manager. He had a 100-46-18 record during his 1st coaching gig with the Senators, from 2005 to 2007.
