Assistant coach Ron Low was also fired Wednesday, a day after the team was shut out for the second consecutive game.
With just 18 games left in a season, it is a scary time to be shaking things up but I guess when you think it’s your only chance to make the playoffs, it makes sense. Still, I wouldn’t want to be in that situation as a player…
