?I guess we will find out the first game:?
WHO IS #13?
Goligoski has been called up to replace Gonchar who left for Pittsburgh after practice to be with his wife who is expecting their second baby.? The morning practice had Crosby centering both Kunitz and Guerin.? The tentative lines for tonight are:
Forwards
Kunitz-Crosby-Guerin
Fedotenko-Malkin-Sykora
Dupuis-Staal-Kennedy
Godard-Talbot-Cooke
Defense
Orpik-Gonchar/Goligoski
Eaton-Letang
Gill-Scuderi
Goalie
Fluery
It looks like Staal is getting the hand me down wingers once again.? If they were good enough for Crosby all year, you would think they would be good enough for Staal.? Guerin and Goligoski are both #13 and I haven’t heard that Goligoski was going to give it up.? Guerin is a rental player until the end of the season, so this should be interesting. (ok, not real interesting)
#13 will be retired in PA when Wilt Chamberlin’s face is on the PA Mt Rushmore. No one will be allowed to wear it.
I heard that Gonchar did use rubbers all summer. I also heard Whitney refuses to wear them. hmmm… probably the only time Whitney didn’t use a “wrister”.
Gonchar broke the hockey players golden rule “rubbers only” in June, July and August!
Goligoski is going to be #3 tonight – He should be #33 unless the pens plan on retiring Zalapski’s jersey some time soon!
