WHAT? A Positive Article from Cook?! Now THAT'S Refreshing!

Today, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette includes the article, "Therrien's new deal refreshing," by Ron Cook.

It touches on the fact that no Penguins coach in the past 41 years has ever started and finished four consecutive seasons.

Cook is "betting" on Michel Therrien breaking this Penguins record.

"I'm halfway there," Therrien said late last season, grinning.

It's not much of a bet since Therrien's extension will take him into the 2010-2011 season and makes it more than likely that he'll accomplish starting / finishing four consecutive seasons as the Penguins head coach.

FINALLY, Ron Cook - I'm SO proud of you (that wasn't so bad, was it?!)!!
