According to Keith Barnes of the Tribune-Review and PittsburghSportsInsider.com, Head Coach Michel Therrien is playing Brooks Orpik on the 4th line tonight.

Is Therrien huffing spray paint? What the hell is going on? Yeah, I’m sure they planned on having the services of the “Next Ron Francis,” so they sent down Stone, Lannon, and Filewich. But seriously, why call up Nasreddine if you’ve already got a servicable d-man in Orpik? Why not keep up Stone of Filewich as an extra skater for situations like this?

Therrien seriously has to be doing some sort of wonderful drug, or drinking furnature varnish.

I think this is another reason why the Penguins and GM Ray Shero have to seriously consider looking for a coach at the end of the season.

This is just foolishness.
