Dan Bylsma replaces him, Tom Fitzgerald moves behind the bench.

Both of these guys aren't far removed from their playing days I believe...

No shit. I remember Dan Bylsma talking trash in the 2003 Finals about the Devils, and Tom Fitzgerald being my roommate's favourite Leaf. These guys have been discussed as players on OTP... so either we're getting old or this is a ridiculous youth movement amongst coaches!

The firing was a long time coming... the subsequent hiring shows that Shero didn't know where to look for a replacement. This begs the question... will Pat Quinn ever get another NHL job?

Good point and that may be why the Pens have made downright ridiculous choices when it comes to coaching since Mario took over. From Ivan Hlinka (an attempt to appease Jagr) to Eddie Olczyk to this. Therrien was a bad choice too, but how long before we see Mario pull a Wayne and try to right the ship himself?

But then again we shouldn't just throw the Pens under the bus. The NHL by and large has been awful about promoting head coaches who have next to no experience--I guess they figure they'll be fired anyway, may as well just put a contract that won't be too cost prohibitive.

Actually Murray probably should've hired guys like this for the Sens...it's not like what he's doing now is any better.
