If that happened all the behind the scenes footage would become the #1 rated reality show of all time.

Nah, just the Avs. Seriously though, people keep bringing up Jacques because he's associated with the team, and acting like it's a good idea. WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING? What's the biggest complaint that you have with the team this year, random Pens fan? No scoring? Yeah. Jacques Martin should fix that.

Ferraro said in the cesspool a couple weeks back that this is essentially Martins team already ... that the system Johnston came up with in training camp is a "Jacques Martin design" lol

When a team can add a coach that has 613 NHL wins they should do it. I think its a great fit!

I...don't *want* to believe him, but this is honestly a different system than Johnston ran last year. Soooooo...well....

I loved the system last year, too. And I think it would jive with the team this year, though I understand the hesitance given the rawness of the defense.

Lucky Pierre was on the cesspool yesterday and was highly critical of some of the moves Jim Rutherford has made as GM (especially regarding the defense corps).

he's not the most unbiased when it comes to pitt though ... they fired his kids godfather and he probably thought he was getting their gm job lol

Yes, that's very true. Kind of like Craig Button and the Flames (lol)

That was the funniest shit. It was as if Mario & Sid said "Let's fuck with Pierre and leak that we're considering him for GM."

Although I gotta say I wish it happened, since were he to have gotten the job he likely would've traded for Dion instead of The Phil.

Hw would have somehow had to do it twice though.

Yeah, I put zero into anything he says about the Pens. It's actually funny hearing him speak about them now and comparing it to how he spoke of them before Shero was fired and he was ignored.

Apparently last night NBCSN and Milbury wasted their time looking at clips where there was impassioned speaking from Sid/Phil/Letang. It's a freaking sport. That happens. They were literally showing a five second clip of talking and making it seem like the world was ending.
