Panthers Fire MacLean

Two seasons after leading the Florida Panthers to the Stanley Cup finals, Doug MacLean took the fall Monday for a franchise that has struggled to a 7-12-4 mark this season.

Team President Bill Torrey fired MacLean and replaced him with General Manager Bryan Murray, who will hold both positions the rest of the season.

“Is it fair to point the finger at one person? No. It’s not fair,” Torrey said. “But life is not fair. This business is not fair.”
