When searching for a new coach, it was mentioned they wanted someone who could make in-game adjustments. Not seeing the in-game adjustments that result in changing the outcome of the game.

Coaches should have kept him off the ice for at least a few shifts till he calmed down a bit. Pretty clear he was gonna do something stupid if ya leave him out there.

Pens fans frequently complain about Letang, Malkin, and Neal for their retaliatory penalties, have to hold Downie to the same standard.

They do neither where Downie is concerned.

Adams couldn’t be lower. Getting trapped in your own end shift after shift takes its toll.

That is the role Downie chooses to play, he isn’t some victim, that type of treatment from other teams and the refs goes with the role. He is credited with drawing the most penalties on the Pens, which is impressive considering his ice time and that he doesn’t carry the puck.
