Pens fire Sullivan

The Penguins have fired Mike Sullivan. What led up to this point? The words of Kyle Dubas made it sound like a firing – not a ‘parting of ways’ like they wanted. The guys wondered if Sullivan has something else lined up with either the Rangers or Bruins. Poni said Sullivan is one of the best coaches in this city in recent years, with the accolades as the best man behind the bench for the Penguins. After 2 Stanley Cups in roughly 10 years of coaching, Sullivan is moving on. Who is the bigger issue with the Penguins – the coach or the GM? It’s a discussion we tend to have with the baseball team in town. How much of a commitment was there to the Penguins from the head coach? The guys said it’s also fair to wonder what this means for Sidney Crosby and his future.
