Blue Jackets General Manager Don Waddell decided that he had finally seen enough. As the team continued to slog through their season, he fired his head coach and one of his assistants on Monday.
After guiding the club through unimaginable circumstances last season, Dean Evason lost all of his earned good will as Waddell continued to search for answers. But it seemed like no matter what the GM did, the team's on-ice product was not improving.
Things were really bad over the last week, when many in the fanbase-myself included-noticed that the team seemed to be going through the motions.
