lol…that’s probably what Werner is thinking…
“The case for firing Sullivan is much stronger than the case for keeping him. In fact, in nearly any other market, he would have been gone by now. At the least, he’d be coaching for his job over the next couple of games. Can you imagine if the Penguins lose at home to Anaheim (Thursday) and Montreal (Saturday) and fall to 3-9-1 with an eight-game losing streak?
How do you keep him at that point?
That would normally be a rhetorical question, but I’m betting Fenway Sports Group chairman Tom Werner wouldn’t consider it as such. Less than a month ago, Werner forcefully defended Sullivan, saying, “We think that he’s one of the two or three best coaches in hockey.”
Sullivan also has two years left, after this season, on his contract. My guess is that even a 20-game losing streak wouldn’t make Werner budge.”
