Why was tom webster fired as the LA Kings coach in 1992?

Question

And then replaced with Barry Melrose. I was 13 at the time and don't recall a lot of the details. Was the fan base in general upset with this decision?

Answer 1

It was that whole Hockey in Hollywood Wayne to the Kings, NBC's poor attempt at fixing the sport time in the game a bunch of wacky stuff was going on in the league then. I Woman played Net for the Lightning in a Pre-season game. Pro's where aloud in the Olympics. Tons of Shenanigans!!!!

Answer 2

Tom Webster coached Los Angeles to its lone division title, in 1990-91, and despite last season's debacle, his three-year winning percentage of .554 is the best in the franchise's history. But from the way the Kings now talk about Webster, who was fired in an organization-wide shake-up last spring, you would think his tenure had been the worst. The players use words like unprepared, hypocritical, detached; they scoff openly about the way Webster would leave the bench for the runway or the dressing room in the third period of close games—to flee the pressure, the players say.
