Ducks fire Bruce Boudreau

Bruce Boudreau has suffered his last heartbreak in Anaheim.

The Ducks announced Friday, two days after their fourth consecutive loss in a Game 7 on home ice, that they relieved Boudreau of his head coaching duties.

Boudreau's time in Anaheim ends with four consecutive division titles, along with 208 wins to 104 losses, and another 40 in either overtime or the shootout. But for all his regular-season success, which includes another 200 wins in five seasons as the Washington Capitals' head coach, Boudreau hasn't been able to guide his ultra-talented teams to a Stanley Cup Final.

His success, though, which includes organizing both the league's top power play and penalty kill, and also his ability to completely reshape the Ducks' scheme on the fly this season, will ensure he's not out of the game for very long.

Fans and pundits alike are already linking him to the vacant Ottawa Senators job.
