Report: Leafs, in three-year playoff drought, fire Maurice

The Toronto Maple Leafs have fired coach Paul Maurice, TSN of Canada reported, citing unnamed sources.

Maurice, who had one year remaining on a three-year contract, failed to guide the Leafs to the playoffs in his two seasons. The Maple Leafs have missed the Stanley Cup playoffs in three consecutive seasons -- the first time that has happened since 1928.

Assistant coach Randy Ladouceur has also been let go, according to the report.
