CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Dave Beeston called it a "tough day for the Pittsburgh Penguins."
Beeston, the co-head of Fenway Sports Management and Penguins alternate governor, held a press conference Friday at the Lemieux Complex alongside Penguins president of business operations Kevin Acklin following the firings of general manager Ron Hextall, assistant general manager Chris Pryor, and president of hockey operations Brian Burke.
Beeston said that all of Fenway Sports Group was in agreement that it was "time for a change" in regard to the Penguins' front office, but acknowledged that doing so was still a difficult decision.
