Ducks accept blame for Boudreau firing after playoff ouster (Yahoo Sports)

Boudreau's players understand that his firing could be the start of significant changes for a team that has won four consecutive Pacific Division titles, but squandered 3-2 series leads and lost Game 7 at home in four straight postseasons. The Ducks cleared out their lockers at Honda Center on Saturday morning, one day after Boudreau was fired after nearly five seasons as head coach. General manager Bob Murray spent much of his press conference savaging the roster for a poor start that forced the Ducks into desperation from December on, and for dropping the first two games at home in their first-round series against the Nashville Predators.
