I can kind of see the writing on the wall here with this hiring. I don't think the Pens brass were too pleased with the outcome in the playoffs, and some were saying that Dan Bylsma was on his way out as head coach. That didn't happen, but even I can see this is just a backup plan to lock up Martin in case the Pens get off to a slow start, and Bylsma has to be let go during the regular season.

Oh NO! Another Jacques Martin sighting if the Pens thought they had it bad before hire Mr. no emotion behind the bench...I've been in hockey for a long time and I can say this you need aggressive excited coaches behind the bench ..not robots to get the team fired up....don't believe me watch and see what happens to a contending team (Pens)if they hire Martin for coach.....
