Dan Muse hired as Penguins head coach

The Penguins are in a bit of an odd situation: the organization has no depth, it can’t count on several quality prospects… and with Crosby, Letang, Malkin and Karlsson in place, that complicates things a bit.

And I find it hard to believe that hiring a guy with no NHL head coaching experience is really going to help get things back on track.

All in all, Muse was named head coach of the Penguins because Sidney Crosby agreed to it.

Kyle Dubas has to do everything in his power to keep #87 happy, and Crosby certainly had his say in the search for the new coach over there.

It should also be remembered that in Pittsburgh, the names of Mitch Love, DJ Smith and Jay Woodcroft had been mooted for the vacant head-coaching position.

And if Muse beat out these guys for the job, it’s surely because the Penguins see something interesting in him.

But then again, the fact that he has no head coaching experience mixed with the fact that it’s do or die for the Penguins… it does seem a little odd.

Can’t wait to see what happens!

Overtime

– I feel sad for him.

– Of note:

– It’s normal!

– Devin Shore is heading to Europe.

– Wow…
