WINNIPEG – The Winnipeg Jets have fired coach Claude Noel and hired Paul Maurice as his replacement.

Winnipeg is 19-23-5 and has lost five games in a row to fall 10 points back of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Noel, hired after the Atlanta Thrashers moved to Winnipeg before the 2011-12 season, went 80-79-18.

Assistant Perry Pearn was also fired.

Only the city of Winnipeg and the province of Manitoba could find the sewer room so quickly in what every other province and state would treat like a palatial mansion. That province is cursed!
