In general, calling for a firing seven games into the season is an overreaction. Season's are long, they ebb and flow, there are positive and negative streaks which will make teams look like world beaters and world beaten. This is an exception to the rule.

The Crosby/Kessel Conundrum
The big splash of the off season, in perhaps all of hockey, was the Pittsburgh Penguins acquiring Toronto Maple Leafs sniper Phil Kessel. For a team that had seen their goals dry up in multiple play off losses, he seemed a savior.
When it was announced he would be paired with superstar Sidney Crosby, it seemed to be a revelation. "Finally! A winger for Sidney Crosby! Someone of his caliber!" Indeed, in Kessel Crosby would have the best winger he'd had since Marian Hossa at the end of the 2007-08 season.
But is this really a pairing made to last?
