Nobody in their right mind would have fired the coach one year after hiring when the team improved as much as it did in the standing, made the playoffs, and only got swept because the goalie was a tire fire.

Really?
I dont see that. You could see the underlying issues.
You know how people always say that getting rid of the coach is the easy answer? Its easier to get rid of 1 guy than to change your entire roster?
Yet we acquired new defencemen, jettisoned both goaltenders and replaced them, ironically with goaltenders who played better, brought up new forwards and yet achieved worse results.
You blame the goalie for the Anaheim series? I blame the guy that didnt see that the goalie was the problem until it was too late.
