Pittsburgh Media Release,
The Pittsburgh Penguins have relieved President of Hockey Operations Brian Burke, General Manager Ron Hextall and Assistant General Manager, Chris Pryor of their duties, it was announced today by Fenway Sports Group.
John Henry and Tom Werner issued the following statement:
No word on whether or not the Pens fired Bettman?
Ha! Bettman is grief stricken and is firing Refs after the season who failed to support his Pens!
They should. He didn't help them sneak in the playoffs like he usually does. He will make up for it in Pittsburgh's draft positioning.
As soon as they hired Hextall and Burke, I knew the Pens would crumble.
ESPN should hire Hextall and team him up with his niece.
Have to think Burke will be back with Sportsnet.
Great...now we can see Burkie back on Hockey Night in Canada..Bring back Grapes. Should make a great tag team. Better than what they have now. (Sarcasm off) (OK, half off)
