That was nearly a decade and two general managers ago. I don’t know if the same could be said of present Penguins GM Ron Hextall. Indeed, he’s come under increasing heat for the team’s wobbly performance this season.
I don’t envy him. Haven’t from the day he was hired to replace Jim Rutherford at the Pens’ helm nearly two years ago to the day. It was roughly akin to being named emperor of Rome just as the empire was set to crumble, or captain of the RMS Titanic just after the luxury liner sideswiped the iceberg.
