Tuesday October 5th, a great day for the Penguins! Birthday of Mario Lemieux, anniversary of Sidney Crosby’s first NHL game. And now, the day the team announced they would fire Jack Johnson into the sun. (Well, not really, they’ll just pay him $7 million dollars over the next six years to now play for them, which seems like a better deal).
There’s much more to talk about the unqualified and totally predictable disaster that was the Jack Johnson signing to an over-blown contract to play a role well above his abilities and the subsequent pain it caused the team when Johnson was the worst player on the roster for the last two years.
