Therrien fired, should have been Shero...

The Pens have done the unthinkable!

They fired Michel Therrien to try and salvage their season. Personally, I don't think it was the right decision. You fire a coach that is 135-105-32 in 272 games, and he brougt you to the Stanley Cup finals last season!

Therrien did a pretty good job with the assets that Shero gave him this season, even if he lost his two main defensemen.

May I have to remember you that Shero lost all of these players in the last year:

• Colby Armstrong
• Erik Christensen
• Ryan Malone
• Marian Hossa
• Angelo Esposito
  

And he replaced them for guys like:

• Ruslan Fedotenko
• Miroslav Satan
  
• Chris Minard
  
• Bill Thomas
  

Add to this the poor season that Staal is having and a coach's got more problem than he can handle.

Not to mention that since picking Staal in the draft pick, the Penguins didn't do a very good job in the draft (mostly trading away draft picks).

Mario should have taken a stand and fire Shero for the poor work that he's done in the past 12 months.

I got a funny feeling Therrien will be back in the NHL next year and at some point he'll have a sweet revenge on the Pens.
