Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby -- Linked Once More

On Saturday, the Pittsburgh Penguins fired head coach Mike Johnston and assistant coach Gary Agnew. Johnston, who was relieved with a 58-37-15 record as the Penguins' bench boss, was the fourth head coach in the Sidney Crosby era. Mike Sullivan, formerly of the AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, will take over as coach number five since Crosby's rookie season, a coach who brings 170 games of NHL head coaching experience with the Boston Bruins and Vancouver Canucks to the Pens... but that is not why we lead off a Washington Capitals blog with a discussion of Pittsburgh Penguin management decisions.
