The Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday announced that coach Guy Boucher had relieved of his duties.
The decision came hours after the Lightning lost 5-3 to the Ottawa Senators, dropping them to 13-17-1, 14th in the Eastern Conference, five points out of a playoff spot.
"Guy has poured his heart and soul into the Lightning organization for these past three years and we appreciate all the work he has done," Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman said in a statement released by the team. "But ultimately I am not satisfied with the direction we are heading and I believe making a change today is in the best interest of our franchise."
Among the rumored replacements are former Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff, who Yzerman hired as an assistant coach for Canada's 2010 Olympic team, and Jon Cooper, who won an American Hockey League championship with the Norfolk Admirals, Lightning's affiliate last season, and has their affiliate this season, the Syracuse Crunch, atop the league standings.
The team announced assistant coaches Martin Raymond and Dan Lacroix would share the coaching duties for the Lightning's game Sunday at the Winnipeg Jets.
The Lightning advanced to the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals in Boucher's first season, but missed the playoffs last season. In three seasons, his record is 97-78-20.

Nice job by the reporter - one missing word in that first sentence and it sounds like he peed.

Wow that didn't take very long, I remember how badly I wanted him to replace Martin in Montreal.
