See Ya Wouldnt Want to be Ya

Well i guess we knew this was coming. Michel Therrien was fired today during an abysmal season. I for one am not one to blame coaching for poor play by millionaire players, but there comes a time when players tune out the abrasive style sooner or later. The Pens lost a ton of a talent this past off season but many of the core players returned. With the likes of Satan and Fedotenko signed to replace Hossa and Malone you had to be thinking this season was going to fall short of expectations, unless you are like me and had your head buried in the sand. I truly thought that Crosby, Malkin, Staal, and Fleury would be enough to carry this team but clearly i was wrong. Malone was a huge loss considering that no one on this team will step in front of the goal and set the screens or just get in there and bang around. Fuck Hossa too, he is the reason we are in this situation, not just because he signed with Detroit but because he held the franchise hostage while other good talent signed elsewhere that could have been Penguins had he just said im probably going else where. Therrien was doomed from the start this season, anything less than a deep playoff run would be considered a failure. It was just too much to ask for considering the talent that got away from this team. Of course he didnt help his cause with the constant line changing, the revolving Assistant Captain logo, or the "we tried very hard" attitude. So long Michel you wont be jobless for too long, its just too bad you cant take that piece of shit Whitney with you.
