They skate into the Bruins’ zone, it gets swatted away, they chase, bring it back, and repeat. Do they realize they have an extra man?

I’d imagine a players-only meeting creates a little tension with the coaching staff as well.

Just curious, but if a head coach goes, do his assistant coaches go as well, sort of coaching package? Or is individual?

I’m not sure. I think it’s a matter of who all gets fired.

They often put the assistant in until the end of the season or until they find a midseason replacement. That’s what Atlanta did last season, and something many teams have done in the past.

Not too tired for my inner tiger tonight Frank… : ) Is in a slump, yes, but what bugs me most is when people say it is because he is too focused on being the face of the NHL. It is not like he said ‘I will only play in the NHL if I get all the attention and marketing and image’ no he did not, and after the lock-out he did get hockey fans watching agian.

I’m one of those people saying that. Sure, his rookie year the Pens were horrible so I guess it didn’t matter much. But I think there is a lot of stress on the Pens to repeat and surpass last season’s performance so perhaps they just want the players to focus on hockey. I’m one of those people for sure.

fernandez was exceptional. fedotenko’s goal was in transition. Had they shot more in transition they may have tied it up. Once they settled down in offensive zone they always seemed to be looking for that extra pass
