With the NHL regular season at an end and the Stanley Cup Playoffs about to commence, I thought I’d take a break from the heavy stuff and post my final Ex-Pens Update.
In years past I’ve glanced at the list and thought…meh. But this season is different. As I was compiling the numbers, I was struck by how many Ex-Pens enjoyed really solid seasons. Lots of guys in the 10-20 goal range. I couldn’t help but feel a bit wistful…some of them might have really helped our cause had we kept them.
In keeping with a recent comment made by long-time PP supporter, Jorenz, about our roster being deconstructed under Ron Hextall, I once again thought I’d focus my narrative on the players who’ve left the ‘Burgh since Hexy took over as GM.
