Can Dan Muse save the Penguins? A daunting to-do list for Game 3 vs. Flyers

PHILADELPHIA — You’re Dan Muse. You aren’t supposed to be here, and neither is your team.You were brought here to develop young talent, not to figure your way out of a jam in a playoff series less than one year on the job. Your detractors called you a “bridge coach” when you were hired. But you’re probably a Lindy Ruff miracle season away from winning the Jack Adams Award in your first year behind the bench. Almost every button you’ve pushed all season has worked. The Pittsburgh Penguins have largely reached the playoffs because of you, your positive energy, your fresh ideas and your ability to build an identity based on the roster you were given.Advertisement
