Mike Johnston death watch - Update - Fired, replaced by Mike Sullivan

[jstewismybastardson]

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.

iirc, in the cesspool, when he was supposedly "in the running" for the pens gm job after shero got fired he sounded positive about the team and his personal prospects of getting hitred ... then when it was established that he wasnt getting the job, lucky pierre went all ... " i dont like the way THAT ORGANIZATION treated my buddy ray "

Yep. I think I recall hearing him on the radio in town and he went off about how Shero's firing went down. I could be misremembering, but I know he was irate and it was hilarious how quickly his tune changed.

Rumor is someone just asked Marc Crawford if he likes fries and slaw on his sandwiches.

Well it is over. Mike Sullivan is the new coach.

When the GM is making public comments about lack of playing time for certain players, you know it's only a matter of time before the hammer falls.

And almost everyone on Twitter is pissed CBJ hired Tortorella...

 

[thedddd]

Oh yeah and with Martin floating around all the time didn't help. The fact Rob Scuderi plays at all is reason to fire a coach.

 

[esls79]

Should have hired Randy Cunneyworth instead

I guess Willie Desjardins made the right choice.

It's actually a deadlock at 5-5 (Gentile forgot about Olczyk).

Came back to fix it, but time to edit had expired.

For a second, I thought Pittsburgh had hired one of the Vancouver green guys jstew

Not like I have a hat in this race are not but I like this move...........














Because it's shows no WHL head coaches will be immediately promoted to the NHL for a while. No matter how successful they are as a coach

I am not on Twitter.


Oh...

Yep, he and Tocchet stayed. And I have no idea why. Well, Tocchet because he obviously has something on Mario. Has to. Martin I guess to be the defensive guy. I'll always find it weird when they keep assistants from an old regime. How do you expect that to go? But then again, not like a new coach mid-season has time to call up his buddies.
