The underachieving teams that were supposed to be good usually fire their coaches in like november/december/january.

It is delightful that we are even having this discussion.
Lou Lamoriello of New Jersey fired Claude Julien with 3 games left in the season and in first place. They went on to win the cup that year.

Sorry, won the cup the next season.
