Mike maybe a Canuck coach. Oh things could get better. Owen Powersoe and Ryan Mcleod could endup here. Qinn Hughes might be in Buffallo. Willander??.
Damn. I thought FSN would never let Mike go. Wonder what factors led to this. I guess its time to tank in earnest.
Pittsburgh wanted Harry Potter so bad as your GM, you got your wish. Dubas is a terrible GM, he left the cupboards bare up here in Toronto. Sullivan is a great coach, Dubas is the reason why the Pens are terrible now
Bad goaltending, bad defensemen. Is that a coaching problem? No it’s a GM problem.
