THIS JUST IN: Hartley Out, Waddell In?

Well, this is a sight Atlanta Thrashers fans and players won't see anymore:



Just after the noon hour today, various media sources declared that Atlanta Thrashers coach Bob Hartley was relieved of his services to the team. With an oh-and-six start, terrible offensive statistics for his team, and the unforgettable exit from last year's playoff appearance, apparently Hartley was the source of it all and the first to take a hike.

Is this really the right move? Or should there be other measures taken that will improve the team?

More clarity will be revealed when Mr. GM himself (and interim coach, too) steps up to the podium and addresses the media formally about this change of face and what the plans are for the immediate future. Press conference is coming up at 2PM.
