The NY Ranges were horrible, so much so they fired the head coach. Head coaches are only as good as their staff. So with that said why would the Pens hire a coach from a failing team. This will turn out to be a horrible hire, just like most of Dubas’ other moves. Karlsson being the most glaring . It’s going to be a long painful season. Sorry Sid, you deserve better.
What a joke of a hire. Lets start calling Dubas……Dufas.
