First of all I would like to congratulate Disco Dan Bylsma for being the recipient of the Jack Adams Award, or Coach of the Year. He is the first coach in franchise history to win the award with the Pens. That's right, Scotty Bowman and Herb Brooks are coaches in our franchises history, and Bylsm...

A few weeks ago Sidney Crosby spoke out about the slump of Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fluery. Crosby told the media that Fluery needed to regain confidence on the ice. At the time, Pens coach Dan Bylsma flopped between the strong starting 33-year old Brent Johnson and the playoff tested but slow starting veteran in Fluery.
