Trying to Make Sense

If I told you that the Pens would fire their coach on Sunday and follow that up with a loss to the worst team in the NHL on Monday would you have believed me? I am sitting at home watching the debacle that was the Penguins game earlier today. Did you ever watch a movie or a game of any sport and no matter how many times you watched it you hoped for a different ending? That is exactly what i caught myself doing tonight. Joey MacDonald was like 11-23 this season before this game, he looked like Martin fucking Brodeur. There were many many many quality scoring chances Jordan Staal comes to mind, or how bout Sykora wide open in front. It is what it is this year, the coach was not the problem, its lack of talent. I mean seriously how much thought went into the firing of Therrien? They fired him with less than 24 hours before an away game with no practice time for the new regime. I am not a rocket scientist but this does not seem like a recipe for success. One rumor i read today was that the Pens had a big time trade worked out until the other player involved said he would not play for Therrien. If that is true then i understand why they did it, if its untrue then it was a knee jerk reaction to an unforgivable loss in Toronto. The guy had a winning record led them to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in 16 years and had them within 2 wins of the cup. Who knows maybe this jobber coach, whatever his fucking name is, who only scored 19 goals in 429 games will be the next Scotty Bowman. Im beating a dead horse. Fuck it im out.
