Pens are expected to officially announce the firing of their head coach Ed Olczyk and his staff. Not surprising given they've lost 8 of their last 9.
A big issue right now with the team though is that Le Clair and Recchi are supposedly trying to do the coaching instead of listening to what they're told. Dunno how long that **** can go with ANY coach and a team actually wins, but whatever. I like to think this'll fix things but I doubt it...
Also talk of the Pens getting their arena is up one week, down the next... One dickhole writer in Pittsburgh is saying that the lock issue of the Slots license going to Lemieux's group isn't going to happen because the used condom that owns the "Station Square" complex in Pittsburgh contributed tot he governor's campaign... However I like to hope somehow that the deal's going to still work out in favor of Lemieux, especially since uptown NEEDS the slots license more than Station Square does which is already a hotspot for nightlife... Uptown's too close to the Hill District and as such it's not got much to attract people to it... A Casino though would do that.
I wish we had gambling ont he water here, Pittsburgh would benefit so much from gambling revenue that way and it'd be a major draw for our city, but alas that seems unlikely to happen ever. The Slots thing had people getting all up in arms.
