PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Ron Hextall says isn’t bothered by fans clamoring for him to be fired. Chants of “Fire Hextall” erupted several times during a dismal 7-2 loss to Edmonton that dropped the Penguins to 10th place in the Eastern Conference. Hextall says he understands the team has not met expectations and it’s his job to help get the Penguins back on track. Hextall says he is still hoping to add players before the trade deadline but stressed he will not do it in search of short-term solutions.
