Lest we forget, Therrien's leadership style and strategies, although often in question, played a large role in the Pens memorable playoff run last year. Fare thee well, Mr. Therrien...

Therrien Gets Pink Slip
In the latest chapter of the NHL's rags to riches to rags real life drama, the Penguins canned skipper Michel Therrien yesterday. In Therrien's brief tenure behind the Pens bench, he oversaw one of the NHL's greatest improvement projects followed by one of it's most abrupt declines. Regardless of the stream of excuses that can be offered for the Pens '08-09 slide, this roster is far too talent laden to be lurking around .500, flirting with an early summer vacation. Hopefully, this change is what the doctor has ordered for our ailing flightless birds. As I have said in earlier posts, Pittsburgh is just too small of a city to have two teams splitting media wrath in the springtime.

It is amazing that there is this much talent and their record is poo! In the 'Burgh, a lot of people are saying it is Shero's fault and that MT is the fall guy.
Shero is the one who let the "chemistry" guys leave in the off-season. Shero is the one who fell asleep at the wheel while Hossa walked. Shero is the one who couldn't find anyone to remotely replace Hossa.
Don't look for any big trades this year. I really think that the Pens are going to ride the season out and address their issues in the offseason. This is where Shero will earn his keep. Let's hope he knows what he is doing.
Agreed. Ryan Malone was a huge loss.
