What I'm hearing about Penguins coaching search's final stages

1 week ago | nytimes.com | Josh Yohe

PITTSBURGH - We are nearing the end of the Pittsburgh Penguins' search for their next head coach. Kyle Dubas is conducting in-person interviews with candidates this week in Pittsburgh. There is a chance a new coach will be named by the end of this week. Dubas told The Athletic earlier this month that he would like to have his new coach in place by June 1, which is Sunday. So, who will it be? Only Dubas knows. He is largely conducting this search on his own.
Penguins' new coach will get Sidney Crosby

Of the 32 NHL head-coaching jobs, many are worse than what the Pittsburgh Penguins offer these days. The Penguins' new hire will get to coach Sidney Crosby, be paid handsomely and receive plenty of patience from management. They will do so in one of America's great sports towns with an outstanding practice facility and home arena. But that doesn't mean the new coach, whom we'll likely know by week's end, will have it easy. The convoluted nature of this job isn't for everyone.

Team Canada was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the World Championship in stunning fashion on Thursday thanks to a dramatic, 2-1 comeback victory for Denmark. Canada, led by the duo of NHL superstars Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon, had rolled through the tournament up until this point, suffering only a shootout loss to Finland while easily handling the field. The Canadians, however, shockingly met their match in the quarterfinals.
'It's been perfect'

STOCKHOLM - About 30 minutes after Team Canada practiced at Hovet Arena, Sidney Crosby stood in the right circle before methodically skating toward the net and firing a shot. The goaltender denied it with a sprawling save, then aimed his glove directly toward Crosby's face and grinned. After a 21-year NHL career, Marc-André Fleury is going out on his terms, saying goodbye with his favorite captain by his side.
Inside Kyle Dubas' quiet, unusual search for next Penguins coach

STOCKHOLM - Team Canada's practice was concluding on Friday at the World Championship in Sweden when the team's general manager, Kyle Dubas, sprinted toward the exit of the Hovet Arena. He needed to return to his hotel room. "Zoom meeting, 4 o'clock," he yelled. "Gotta run. See you tomorrow."Dubas is pulling double duty: strengthening his relationship with Team Canada while tending to the present and future of his Pittsburgh Penguins by searching for their next coach.
What Nathan MacKinnon can learn from Sidney Crosby, Marc-Andre Fleury in Sweden

STOCKHOLM - Plenty of big names and future Hall of Famers are participating in the World Championship this month. But there is only one Team Canada. Three names stand out on its roster - the three players who receive the loudest cheers from the hockey fans in Sweden. Sidney Crosby. Marc-Andre Fleury. Nathan MacKinnon. The living legend. The Hall of Fame goalie with the personality to match. The superstar in his peak years. It's impossible to take your eyes off them.
What I'm hearing about the Penguins' coaching search, offseason plans

3 weeks ago | nytimes.com | Josh Yohe

STOCKHOLM - Kyle Dubas is a busy man these days. The Pittsburgh Penguins president and general manager is also Canada's GM at the ongoing World Championship in Sweden. Dubas is pulling double duty, guiding Canada in the tournament while conducting Penguins coaching interviews from Stockholm. I sense that the Penguins probably won't have a new coach until late this month for two reasons: the logistics of Dubas being in Sweden, and Dubas not entering the process with one coach in mind.
'I am not a manager'

STOCKHOLM - By the time Sidney Crosby walked off the Avicii Arena ice Tuesday night, he'd scored a spectacular goal in Canada's elementary 5-0 victory against France at the World Championship and extended his national team record to an unfathomable 51-6-1 mark. All that winning in Sweden, where Canada is now 3-0 in the tournament, does not erase the memories of the past three seasons in Pittsburgh. It also doesn't ease Crosby's frustration.
