After leading the Atlanta Thrashers to their first Southeast Division title and first playoff birth in franchise history last year, coach Bob Hartley has been fired.
The Thrashers are 0-6-0 this year and have been outscored 27-9 in those contests.
Hartley was seen as the answer to the Thrashers inconsistent play when he was brought in to replace Curt Fraser in the middle of the 2003 season. Upon taking over the 8-20-4-1 squad Hartley led the Thrashers to a 20-14-5-1 record, narrowly missing the playoffs.
Last year’s team set a franchise record in wins after posting a 43-28-11 record but were bounced out of the first round of the playoffs when the New York Rangers swept them in four games.
General manager Don Waddell will be the interim coach until the team canfind a replacement.
