Hey all. With so much negativity surrounding our Penguins these days as we stagger down the homestretch, I thought I’d reach for a positive. Here goes:
There’s probably a pretty good chance Penguins GM Ron Hextall will lose his job this summer. Even if our Penguins manage to squeak into the postseason for a 17th consecutive season, they’ve fallen far short of expectations. Doubly so when you consider how well our core group has played.
Much of the shortfall can be tied to Hextall’s failed attempts to build a strong supporting cast around Sidney Crosby & Company.
