I have no interest in Shero. He pulled off a few good trades which helped him win a cup, but his team was a massive playoff failure for years and he never addressed it. He had success because he inherited a team with Crosby and Malkin, who are arguably the two best players in the world since he took over the Penguins.

His first move was to take Jordan Staal ahead of Jonathan Toews. Remember how everyone drooled over the notion of Crosby, Malkin and Staal. Just think if it was Crosby, Malkin and Toews.

This year he had the opportunity to pick up Kesler, who could easily have been the difference for them, yet he couldn't muster the stones to pull the trigger.

Does all this sound familiar???

I love how that whining little bit©h of a captain gets off Scott free. His career playoff numbers are pretty weak. He was pathetic at the Olympics even though Canada weakened their team to take his semi retarded line mate.
Hate to say it but if Crosby was from Russia or Sweden he'd never hear the end of it

Crushed ice or rocks?

Once I'm at that point, it really doesn't really to be honest with you.

Don't forget his awful showing at the 2010 Olympics.

Don't agree with Stewart much on the blogs I've read, and his reasoning doesn't usually make sense to me so I've stopped reading.
