Rust on tonight's Pride Game: "I think it's really important for us to make sure everybody knows they are included in the game of hockey and we support them... We're going to stand by you."
On this holiday, we celebrate the gift that keeps on giving, Sidney Crosby.
Malkin on Crosby: "It’s almost like he’s the perfect player, perfect friend. Some guys win just one Stanley Cup, they think they’re like a god, you know? But Sid, never."
Sorry it will never not be funny to me. That after 7 straight losses to the Devils. The Penguins win 24 hours after beating the Rangers. Oh and half the team has diarrhea.
Anyone whining about Sid ALLEGEDLY, MAYBE, asking for 10 mil AAV on his next deal… grow up. Whatever the hell he wants. He’s been carrying this team for his whole career. If he wants to be properly paid for that? Fine. If he wants 17 mil, give it to him.
It’s Schultz working it back in deep
Fresh from the bench it’s Crosby
Crosby on, Kunitz a shot,
HE SCOOOOOOOOORES
PENGUINS WIN IT
AND THEY GO TO THE FINAL
Rot in fucking hell. Now if someone takes an ACTUAL leave for mental health reasons, jackwads on the internet are going to joke that it’s another coverup for sexual assault.
Sources say the Penguins are hoping to have a trade in place for Jake Guentzel by tomorrow evening. Pittsburgh is open to quality over quantity in return, but would like a 1st, young NHL player, plus prospects. Flexibility comes in the calibre of prospect or roster player.
The Penguins have signed forward Jesse Puljujarvi to a two-year contract.
The two-year contract runs through the end of the 2024.25 season and carries an average annual value of $800,000.
Full details:
Everyone: “this could be the last great matchup between the legends of old… what do Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin have in store for us tonight?”
Ryan Shea:
Bryan Rust is saying hello to good friend Jason Zucker, who got traded to Nashville from Arizona at the deadline, at the Predators bench ahead of Penguins morning skate.
The NHL on TNT panel is so funny because it’s, from left to right: the greatest player ever, a 4th liner fighter, a guy who looks like he’s in a book club, a guy who’s known for scoring a 2OT winner and belly flopping on the ice, and one of the best goalies to never win the Cup.
Heyyyyyyy Ovi, remember how much fun you and Sid had during the all star game? Your bestie needs you to come through for him this weekend and unleash hell on the Isles and Panthers 🙏🏻 you can get to 50 we believe in you!!
“First and foremost I want to be back in Pittsburgh, I absolutely love it there, it’s an amazing organization. It’s a great team, I love the guys, it’s a great locker room, and so first and foremost that’s where I want to be, that’s my first choice.” -Zucker on NHLNetwork
Shit on Letang all you want.
I’m more interested in asking why Graves didn’t clear the puck. They were on the kill. He could ice it.
…So why did he pass to Letang?
TOP-10 IN NHL HISTORY!
Sidney Crosby is the first player to enter the NHL's top-10 points list since Jaromir Jagr did so over 16 years ago on February 19, 2008.
