Sorry, won the cup the next season.

It was Ftorek, not Julien I think. It was Larry Robinson who took over.
A couple years later Ftorek was fired by the Bruins in a similar fashion - late in the season with a good record.
EDIT: Lou did fire Julien almost the same way, but that was in 07. He hired Sutter the next season but he never got out of the first round and was fired two years later.
