I haven’t said much about the passing of Ray Shero, perhaps out of shock and needing a bit of time to process it. You can talk about the professional side, and there’s a lot to go with there.
Shero came to the Penguins in May 2006 at a critical time. The team had Sidney Crosby, who just put up 100+ points as an 18-year old. They would work on signing Evgeni Malkin. Marc-Andre Fleury was the rare high goalie draft pick and made it to the big league early. The pieces were there but not quite adding up.
