Thank god. I'm good with keeping Vellucci but it was inexcusable to see that Rierden wasn't fired immediately.

 

[BillyOcean]

A cockroach would get fired before Sullivan.

 

[ThosePuckingPenguins]

Glad they’re not being that insane and bringing Reirden back. Could go either way on Vellucci. Wouldn’t hate seeing him go too just to clear some things out and put some sort of pressure on Sullivan but considering he’s in charge of the PK and forwards, I can’t say I’ve hated how he’s done either.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Good f***ing riddance. Now fire Sully.

I'm sure Sullivan is feeling the heat....of his BBQ grill as he has zero cares in the world.

 

[Giskard]

Yeah, keep fixing other problems, before fixing THE problem on the bench ..

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Praise the lord finally

If nothing else this is a (belated) warning shot for Sullivan. If they still suck next year, it's all on him.

 

[SomeDude]

Sully throwing his assistants under the bus every time a GM realizes the Pens coaching sucks.

 

[SEALBound]

Way overdue. Way, WAY overdue. There is no celebration here because this is something that needed to happen 5 months ago.

A stern look with "about damn time" is what they get.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I just hope they bring in someone who actually has a track record of developing a strong powerplay. But knowing this team, they'll just hire David Quinn because he's friends with Sullivan and he'll be in charge of the powerplay.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Well never like celebrating people getting fired however he was not good at his job.

can Sully be next?

 

[DesertedPenguin]

So, Dubas won the power struggle. That's a good sign. Now, just need to make the right hire.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Sullivan next please

 

[BrookswasHere44]

Just so I'm clear, Todd did PP AND defense?

Also I didn't know you could trade coaches

 

[66-30-33]

Ok but now fire Sully.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Meh, cosmetic change. Unless they fire the guy in charge, it won't change a lot, IMO.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Dont let the door hit you on the ass on the way out Todd, I don't want ass-prints all over my new door!- Dooby Dooby Dubas probably.

First time hearing you can trade coaches, I guess Sully for Keefe LOL!

 

[Empoleon8771]

The Penguins trading Sullivan for a high draft pick would be hilariously awesome

Sullivan for Keefe.

 

[BusinessGoose]

These assholes waited until a Friday to fire him

f***ing bitches

 

[Empoleon8771]

Sullivan for Keefe.

Nah it would probably be like Sullivan to New Jersey for a 2nd or something like that.
