Craig Hartsburg was fired as head coach of the Ottawa Senators on Sunday night, only 48 games into his first season behind the team's bench.
The final straw for Hartsburg was Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Washington Capitals.
"We just weren't making any progress," General Manager Bryan Murray said during Monday's news conference. "We're struggling to keep up.
"I think when we started this year, we all believed this group would be a good team. We had fairly high expectations. We also believed that we would rebound from a shaky start. We kept hoping there would be some change in our performance, which didn't seem to be taking place."

No surprise really. I think Murray has to go though. He's left this team with no puck moving D-men, no starting goalie and only one line that can score.... it's not the coaches fault at this point.

Kinda surprised, Murray was insturmental in bulding the wings organization especially bringing the Russian 5 together. Oh well maybe his time has come and gone. Sens have to keep going on an organizational change. Its a long road ahead.
