As the Penguins lurch toward their second straight non-playoff season, it’s fair to say long-time coach Mike Sullivan is beginning to feel the heat. Indeed, media outlets that have traditionally been supportive of Sully are beginning to take a hard look at his performance behind the bench. Both Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now and Hooks Orpik of Pensburgh have written excellent articles on the subject of late, well-worth the read.
My personal take?
I think the Pens should’ve made a clean sweep and replaced Sullivan when they fired GM Ron Hextall and POHO Brian Burke last summer.
