The Pittsburgh Penguins made a big announcement on Friday, announcing the firing of Todd Reirden. Hunter and Pat start the show by breaking down the firing and how the Penguins had no choice but to do this. They analyze how badly the power play was (yet again) and discuss how this could make some of the core a bit uncomfortable, (which is good!). After that, they discuss how this should put the “rift” rumors between Sullivan and Dubas to bed. They then look at who could replace Reirden on the bench, including Jay Woodcroft. Hunter details what he was great at during his time in Edmonton and how he coached up a really good power play before he got let go. Pat then gives another option for who the Penguins could bring in before they end the show with some playoff talk.

I dont' petition for people to lose their jobs, but this one absolutely had to happen it was not working with Todd Reirden. He may have been good here his first stint with Blysma, but it was not good the second go around here. This change had to happen.
Prayers answered! Now hire Jagr
Jay Woodcroft would be atop my list also. Like you said, bad goaltending got him let go in Edmonton, but I always liked him as a head coach.
what about coach quill
Hopefully Vancouver vs.Canes ,former Penguins all in Cup Final!
did bro really just say that Mike Sullivan isn't stubborn???
Sullivan should go next. Failings of Reirden are his failings too
…we're… free..? ..we're free..?? WE'RE FREE!!! FREEDOM!! FREEDOM!!!!!
I can't help but feel like Dubas is gonna hire Sheldon Keefe in some capacity, be it to coach Wilkes or as Reirden's replacement. Anything short of making the finals is probably gonna get Keefe fired, and I feel like Dubas is just waiting for that moment lol.
I want Michel Therrien. He turned an Eddie Olzyck bottom dwelling team into a Cup contender overnight. He'd light a fire under the team's butt and have Sully on his toes.
Whoever they hire, they better have a track record of a good powerplay.
God… I really hope that Monopoly Go is paying you guys a bunch because I am tired of that ad.
Good luck in your future endeavors reirden. Whoever they hire I just hope they can improve the powerplay. If demko remains out, oilers are going to destroy the canucks imo. Jake is another reason to root for the canes. I do want that 1st rd pick as well
What are your thoughts on Dave Hakstol, formerly the Seattle Kraken's head coach? I was surprised that Ron Francis fired him, in just the third year of the franchise's history, especially after making the playoffs last year. I wonder if he had some issues with Francis.
