The Penguins goto the island tonight new coach and all to take on the hapless New York Islanders @ 2:00pm today. This is a should win game for the Penguins but so was the game against the Maple Leafs on Saturday. I don't know what to expect going into this game I'm still in shock over the firing of Michel Therrien. I don't believe this collapse is his fault there is more to blame than poor coaching in this one, such as GM Ray Shero having absolutely no back-up plan when Hossa didn't sign, Mike Yeo's shitty powerplay, or the inability for the team to play a full 60 minute game this season. Here a few stats on the Michel Therrien era:

Therrien's time
Penguins regular-season coaching record: 135-105-32
Penguins postseason coaching record: 15-10
Career highlights
Dec. 15, 2005 ¢â‚¬â€ Therrien replaces Eddie Olczyk as coach. Under his guidance, the Penguins go 14-29-8, but finish the season 22-46-14 overall and last in the Eastern Conference.
Dec. 29, 2006 ¢â‚¬â€ Penguins begin a 14-0-2 streak that propels them into the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since the 2000-01 season.
April 19, 2007 ¢â‚¬â€ Penguins lose their opening round Stanley Cup playoff series to Ottawa, 4-1.
April 6, 2008 ¢â‚¬â€ Therrien leads the Penguins to a 47-27-8 regular-season record and their first Atlantic Division title. It was the team's first division title of any kind since winning the Northeast Division under Kevin Constantine in the 1997-98 season.
June 4, 2008 ¢â‚¬â€ Penguins lose the Stanley Cup Finals, 4-2, to the Detroit Red Wings.
July 18, 2008 ¢â‚¬â€ The Penguins and general manager Ray Shero announce they agree to a three-year contract extension with Therrien to keep him as coach through the 2010-11 season at a salary approaching $1 million annually.
Feb. 15, 2009 ¢â‚¬â€ After a 27-25-5 start to the 2008-09 season, Therrien is fired and replaced on an interim basis by Dan Bylsma.
