Marc-André Fleury celebrated his 25th birthday on Saturday by getting his 126th NHL win. Everyone who is keeping track (me & Marc-André’s mom) is aware that 126 wins is 7 wins more than NHL all time win leader Martin Brodeur had the day he turned 25. Congratulations & Happy Birthday.
Eric Godard is the Penguins go to guy on the power play. Have you ever noticed that when the Penguins are in the midst of a blowout and they get a power play they put Godard on the ice and keep feeding him the puck. I guess you’d look like an idiot if you fought Godard for running up the score.
Sidney Crosby had something Mario Lemieux never achieved, a hat trick on hat night. Quite an awesome spectacle if you ever happen to witness one live. The last Penguin to have one was Jaromir Jagr, and I believe it was Jagr’s last hat trick for the Penguins.
