Greg McKegg takes a stand in his Penguins' debut
When the Penguins raised the banner for their latest Stanley Cup title at PPG Paints Arena Wednesday, newcomers Greg McKegg, Antti Niemi, Ryan Reaves and Matt Hunwick seemed unsure of what to do.
The four of them appeared hesitant to join the rest of their teammates in celebrating the previous season's championship.
“We weren't a part of that with them last year,” said McKegg. “That was obviously part of a special moment so I don't think we wanted to intrude.”
While McKegg may have felt awkward about being included in the celebration of the 2016-17 squad, he certainly seemed more than willing to show he is capable of being a significant part of the 2017-18 roster.
