Claim: After losing the first five games of the 1931–32 regular season, the Toronto Maple Leafs, whose colours are navy blue and white, fired head coach Art Duncan and replaced him with Dick Irvin, who had an 8–3–2 record in his first month behind the bench.
Evidence: Toronto started the season off slowly, going win-less in their first five games, which cost head coach Art Duncan his job. He was replaced by former Chicago Black Hawks head coach Dick Irvin. The hiring of Irvin would pay off immediately, as the Leafs got hot and had an 8–3–2 record in his first month behind the bench.
