Greg Gilbert was fired as the Adirondack Phantoms' coach Monday night and replaced by John Paddock on an interim basis.

Adirondack (2-10-1), the Flyers' top farm team, has the worst record in the 30-team AHL and is 0-8-1 in its last nine games.

General manager Paul Holmgren called the dismissal "a hard thing to do. He [had] a very young team in terms of years in pro hockey . . . but it just got to the point where we needed to do something to stop the bleeding."
