    Essentially, the league realized it was about 25% down in hits from the past few seasons, so it used it's third party company to review every game and recount. 

     

    Uh I want a job like that! Where do I sign up my services??

  2. Looks like there is a strong feeling from some reporters close to the Pens (DK Sports) that Hextall and very likely Burke will be fired tomorrow. Will see, but as a fan that’s been to 15+ games this season, hearing multiple Fire Hextall chants during games, that it’s time for a big change in management and direction for this team. It’s a shame as they completely wasted a year when Crosby and Malkin played every game.

    In essence you are correct, but the trade to Toronto was due to the fact he wasn’t going to be protected and they wanted a return asset.

     

    Very true, and he not only protected the old pilon named Jeff Carter, but signed the old pilon to a two year deal with a no movement clause. That and the

    absolute WORST trade dealing move to acquire Grandlund at two more years at $5.0M, along with a boatload of other poor roster moves (trading Marino, signing McGinn to a long-term deal, sending him to the minors and then moving McGinn Cap to acquire another old slow pilon defenseman Kulikov, then also signing Kapenan to a two-year deal then waiving him, signing old slow defenseman Rutta. to a mulit year deal...etc. If he and Burke are still employed by the weekend there are going to be ALOT of pissed off Pens fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. Actually McCann was traded to Toronto, another bad trade and Seattle claimed McCann from Toronto, and protected Carter and Blueger and the Pens actually lost Brandon Tanev in the Seattle expansion draft. 
     

    Should have never traded McCann to Toronto and protected McCann and Tanev and exposed Blueger and Carter. 
     

    If Hextall and Burke are still employed by the weekend, the the new owners, the Fenway Group are very absentee owners who only care about the Red Sox and their soccer team
