Salary Cap: Salary Cap 2015: Opinions are like Kunitz on the 1st line - Maybe you shouldn't

I don't necessarily disagree. Fleury was the single biggest reason the Pens had a shot in those games. But Johnston didn't sit idle, either; he put the team into a trapping scheme and it did what it's supposed to. When you're that outmatched, you worry about preventing goals first and scoring goals second.

If absolutely nothing else... I won't contend that he did more coaching in one playoffs than Disco did in many-years-worth of playoffs. But frankly I think that's setting the bar a little low.

One way or the other... after the New Year, the terrible trades, the injuries, the cap nonsense and a plain' ol lack of horses... it was a lost cause, regardless.
