Penguins Sign “Sarge” to a Tryout
In his latest in a string of head-turner moves, Penguins GM Jim Rutherford signed veteran defenseman Sergei Gonchar to a tryout contract yesterday.
One of the most popular and revered players ever to don the black and gold, Sergei’s happy about the prospect of returning to the ‘Burgh.
“I just wanted to play for that team,” he said. “It’s not about the money or the years. It’s going to be special. Being with Pittsburgh is the reason I’m doing it. I still have a lot of friends on that team, in that town. It was a special place for me and my family.”
