Kris Letang capped off the first day feelings after the Penguins got back to practicing today for the first day of their 2023-24 season.
“It’s been a long time away from the rink,” Letang said. “To be able to get back in the room and see the guys and see the new faces, it’s pretty exciting. The first day is always a little bit scrappy... But it’s a way to get the butterflies out of your stomach and get going.”
“The beauty of things is the Cup was won and it’s over, you know? Every team is starting from scratch, and we have to build something good.
