Just An Opinion After Another Penguin Loss
On November 11, 2015, our Pittsburgh Penguins lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets. It was the 16th game of that season. After that loss, the team’s record was 10-6-0. Mike Johnston was the Coach of that team.
All through the end of the previous season and through the first part of that 2015-2016 I was beating the drum for a change in Coaching. Everyone whined that I was crazy. Johnston was a good Coach. “And besides who would the team get to replace him?” they demanded.
Just a short 12 games later, the 28th game of the that season, on December 11, 2015, Jim Rutherford pulled the trigger and Johnston was fired. The team’s record at that point was 15-10-3.
