Randy Carlyle: By the numbers
Leafs giving up too many shots
Randy Carlyle was hired on March 2, 2012 to turn the Toronto Maple Leafs around after Ron Wilson failed to bring the team to the playoffs.
Although Carlyle ended that playoff drought in the lockout-shortened 2013 season, many of the problems that plagued the team before he arrived still remained when his firing was announced Tuesday.
Here's a look at some key numbers:
188: Games Carlyle coached for the Leafs.
91-78-19: Carlyle's regular-season record with Toronto.
1,254: Margin by which the Leafs were outshot during Carlyle's tenure.
26.3: Percentage of faceoffs the Leafs have taken in the offensive zone over the past two seasons, worst in the NHL.
37.3: Percentage of faceoffs the Leafs have taken in the defensive zone over the past two seasons, worst in the NHL.
26: Leafs' NHL ranking in goals against this season (127).
2: Leafs' NHL ranking in goals scored this season (121).
6: Games at which Leaf fans have tossed jerseys on the ice.
7: Number of Leaf losses in their past nine games.
4: Number of coaches fired in the NHL this season (the others were Paul MacLean, Ottawa; Dallas Eakins, Edmonton; Peter DeBoer, New Jersey).
1: Crowd-salute controversy.
0: Captain changes under Carlyle. Dion Phaneuf still has the job.
