Penguins 2009/Blues 2019 incoming?
Amazing news. Couldn't handle another Fester presser after a blowout loss. Even if we suck and continue to bottom out, the games SHOULD be more exciting.

Not sure I want a huge improvement in the standings at this point, but if he can get the team to play with some intensity and balls, that'd be nice.
FINALLY!!! Hate to see someone get fired but this was long overdue!
I still would prefer to get a good draft pick, but as I said the other day, I was starting to get worried Lalonde was starting to infect the young kids, so I'm on board.

Exactly. Certain things are inherently subjective and debatable (which system a coach uses, line pairings, situational deployment, etc.). But responding to adversity by doing a deer in headlights impression the vast majority of the time is objectively inexcusable.
I have no idea whether McLellan will be successful. But if he actively tries to course correct when things go pear-shaped, that alone is an improvement.

Second coach Yzerman has fired.
There shouldn't be a third for most GMs before it's their turn.

Interesting choice, especially how his last stop in LA went. First read to me is that this is Steve still riding the "defense, defense, defense" train. Glad it's someone with experience, but we'll see just how much this translates to wins. I'd at least hope for more competitive games, even if the roster itself continues to struggle on any given night.
Expect roster moves this weekend?

Well had to make the move. Despite never being completely sold on Lalonde and being very frustrated of late, I do really like him and was hoping he would somehow turn it around and it would work out for him. Wishing him the best in the future.

From the McClellan aspect... Should we be at all excited?
At first I was like, "OK cool they did something about Lalonde" and now it's like, "Meh. Ok."

Wasn't he catching flak for 1-3-1 in LA?
