Any time a team falls short of expectations, you’re bound to hear rumblings about a coaching change. It’s no different for our Penguins.
For a third-straight postseason we’ve gone out in the opening round. We’ve lost our last four playoff series and 15 of our last 20 postseason games.
This season’s shortfall was especially disappointing because it felt like the team had more to give. Which begs the question.
Is it time for a coaching change?
To digress, Mike Sullivan is almost universally regarded as an excellent coach. Not only did he do a marvelous job of keeping an injury-plagued team afloat (over 300 man-games lost) but he led us to a division title in arguably the toughest and most competitive division in the league.
