BRING BACK THERRIEN

It’s a shame the Penguins can’t bring back Michel Therrien for a couple weeks. Most of the dressing room wouldn’t be overjoyed by the prospect. Brooks Orpik might be downright suicidal.

But this team needs a bad cop. A short, sharp dose of Therrien might be the only thing that can reel in the subpar flying circus the Pens have become, let alone imbue them with the solid two-way fundamentals that won the Stanley Cup last season and have all but disappeared now.

Want proof? Look at last night’s 7-4 loss to Philadelphia.
