Lets Remember Some Guys

[Scandale du Jour]

But, see, the casual fans don't even know about faceoffs! So, it's a way of showing you're not like the other unwashed rabble.

@ColePens certainly knows alot about face offs.

Ask him about Mike Zigomanis one of these days.

He lives with us forever. Never forgotten.

 

[HandshakeLine]

His leg’s original structural integrity however has been long consigned to the dust bin of history.

Dwight Mathiasen. Anyone remember that name? I read it with great anticipation once upon a time.

 

[Mario_is_BACK!!]

I’m watching a game from March 2008 while I wrap presents. Chris Minard is on the team.

Chris Minard!

Chris Minard!

His parents should have just said f*** it and named him "Ouch." I mean... that's what I would have done.

Yeah I made a joke about balls. Shut up. They can't all be gems. Or really even SOME of them.

OK none of them.

Adam Hall.

Game winning goal in the SCF for us.

First one in 16 years at the time.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Miro Satan.

He came to be a top 6 winger, it didn't work out quite a planned, so Shero demotes him to the AHL and he takes it all on the chin like a champ and decides he'll just mentor players down there, then he gets called up, is ok playing the 4th line role, even plays it quite well and also fights.

That's a f***ing team mate.

Adam Hall.

Game winning goal in the SCF for us.

First one in 16 years at the time.

I remember Adam Hall, he was quite well liked by the fan base to the point where people were quite upset that he wasn't kept and went off to Tampa, he was one of the blokes we were all ok seeing on the 4th line for more time.

Phillipe Boucher in '09. He only played sparingly, but he was fine in the games that he did.

 

[The Old Master]

best memories out side of 66.
1. dave burrows; best defensive defense man i have ever seen. (should of got into coaching)
2. al smith; not the best goalie but there was never any doubt he always gave everything he had...even though he lost his big fight (twice) i was never more proud to be a fan. at a time when there wasn't much to be proud of.

 

[Rico Im Ur Fata]

I remember desperately wanting Victor Ignatjev and Jeff Serowik to succeed as a pair because those names sounded delicious as hockey names to me

 

[Solution]

Shawn McEachern (sp?)

 

[SomeDude]

Shawn McEachern (sp?)

I believe that is what is actually printed on his birth certificate.

 

[EightyOne]

I believe that is what is actually printed on his birth certificate.

this shit made me laugh out loud at work, nice one

Classic.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Someone who is I think still playing.

Mark Letestu, the test tube. Guy was a likeable player imo

 

[heysmilinstrange]

Tomas Vokoun. What a professional. I really appreciated his calm, steady presence in the net.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

I remember thinking that Michel Ouellet, Matt Hussey and Thomas Surový were gonna be 30 goal guys for the Pens.

 

[Gurglesons]

Tomas Vokoun. What a professional. I really appreciated his calm, steady presence in the net.

Was my favorite goalie prior to coming here and I knew he'd perform if we gave him the job. Sucks that the team let him down in 2013, I think if we get through to CHI we could've won the cup that year.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Loved Vokoun. Even played for a bit in my hometown haha.

 

[Arkadiusz]

Moe Mantha. Interesting tidbit, Moe is one of only 4 players in NHL history to play at least 20 games in one season with 3 different teams. In '87-'88 Moe played with Pens(21), Edm.(25), Min.(30). The other 3 were Jim Vandermeer(Chi, Phi, Cgy), Bobby Schmautz (Bos, Edm, Col), and Marco Scandella (Buf, Habs, Blues). Props to Kevin Paul Dupont for this factoid, writer for Boston Globe and fellow parishioner at my church...

I think Bylsma let him down more than the team did, but yeah.

Ah, Tomas "Peter Bondra" Surovy. Kris "Ron Francis" Beech. Ian "Bobby Orr" Moran.

It's like comparing a race car bed to an Aston Martin.

The line of him, Kennedy, and Conner.

I'd forgotten about Connor. He was like the tadpole to Sheary's....tadpole with legs.
