Bruce Boudreau provided a candid reaction after being fired as head coach of the Minnesota Wild on Friday.
"It was funny because [general manager] Bill [Guerin] came in, and he shut the door, and as soon as he shut the door, I knew," Boudreau told Michael Russo of The Athletic. "You just know, right? And he says, 'I'm going to make a change,' and I instantly said, 'Are you firing me?!'—just like that. And he goes, 'Yes.' I said, 'Are you f--king kidding me?'"
Boudreau was in his fourth season with the Wild before being let go following a 27-23-7 start.
