I’ve already received three texts from coaches in this cycle who would want the #Steelers job, given the rich history and ownership there. In the eyes of people reacting in real time, this job is right up there with the #Ravens as the cream of the crop.

Meanwhile, NFL talking heads:

If you want another defensive minded coach, I think Minter is the guy. Personally, I’d prefer an offensive coach.

Statement from Mike Tomlin:

Yeah, but see, it isn’t “recent playoff success he damned.” That’s been exactly the problem

Brayden Point is out week-to-week with a lower-body injury, head coach Jon Cooper announced.

Lmao. Shocking not to appreciate mediocre results. Win a playoff game again

😑

Kucherov is prob the absolute LAST player in the entire NHL I’d want Silovs 2 face on a penalty shot w/game on the line. That’s going 2b a goal 9 out of 10x. Might be a little simplistic, but the goaltending gap was the difference 2nite Bolts have Vasy. #Pens … clearly do not

Lmao

Forward Tristan Broz has been re-assigned to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (AHL).

It’s so funny to hear this. Kyle isn’t wrong that it’s time, but so many in the national media actually DON’T know and DIDN’T THINK it was time. I’ve heard a few now seemingly flip their prior tune since yesterday, but most at that level were aghast @ the notion Tomlin should go

The Pittsburgh Steelers first known head coach interview request is for Rams passing game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase, per source. Baltimore, Cleveland and Las Vegas also have requested interviews with him during this hiring cycle.

Dan, your team isn’t scoring any goals. This has been a big problem three games in a row. Please put Evgeni Malkin back in his regular position (& maybe stick Mantha and Brazeau back on his wings while you’re at it), and thanks

Make it a pair of Rams coordinators for the Steelers, who also have requested a head coach interview with LA’s defensive coordinator Chris Shula, per source.

Since November 1st, NYR rank 30th out of 32 teams by expected goals percentage, per Evolving-Hockey. A total calamity. This might be the worst Rangers team since 2004.

The Steelers have submitted an interview request for Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per source. Weaver, who faced the Steelers for years as a player and a coach for the Ravens, has a chance to become the next leader in Pittsburgh.

The Steelers requested an interview with Chargers DC Jesse Minter for their head coaching job, per source.

Steelers now have requested a head coach interview with Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, per sources. Flores is in Washington today, interviewing for the Commanders DC job. Steelers HC interview is expected next.

#NYR fans boo their team off the ice after the first period. The Rangers are down 4-0 to the Senators playing on the 2nd half of a back to back, they've been outshot 14-6 and it's actually uglier than the scoreboard would make it show.
