Hainsey and Maatta are so bad they make Ian Cole look good

Like I never thought I'd see the day I'd watch the Penguins thinking "wait, who is that out there... oh, whew, it's Cole, I feel better now."

I can't wait for the copycat teams to try to ride their way to the cup without a defense like... Dallas...or Edmonton?

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

On the plus side, we're looking pretty good to get a Game 7 of the SCF, which is the greatest thing in the entire world

Tocchet. IIRC, he was the only member of Johnston's coaching staff who stayed on.

I wonder if the 3rd period will be longer than 3 minutes? Cause if not then the Pens can't score 3 goals.

No, Martin was on Johnston's coaching staff too. It was widely rumored he refused to take the HC job before it went to Sullivan, dunno if that was ever really confirmed though.

Tocchet is of course Mario Lemieux's golfing buddy, so he is going nowhere so long as Lemieux is a team owner.

Unlike the last couple of rounds, the Pens are now playing against A Good Coach and I kinda fear he has finally realized that the Penguins are helpless if you just relentlessly attack their defensemen and are willing to accept the risk of the Pens getting an odd man rush the other way.

Tocchet has obviously suffered too many concussions. I'm pretty sure no coach would be better than whatever he attempts to instill.
So bald. So anemic.

Like literally whenever you see Ron Hainsey is on the ice if you immediately go Full Leeroy Jenkins you are probably going to score.

One vast improvement through miracle coach hiring per team, sorry.
