An evil thought occurs: Suppose, for some reason, the Blues fall flat in '16-17 and wind up getting rid of most of the coaching staff before the season ends. Could it turn out that Yeo is the first guy ever fired after a negative number of games as head coach?
Chicago once fired a coach after two games – Godfrey Matheson, 1933. Will that record be surpassed?
OK, none of this is at all likely. It's just such an unusual process, I can't help being silly with it.

Maurice Richard also only lasted 2 games as a head coach, but he resigned instead of being fired. Couldn't handle the stress of it.
