Penguins Update: Can Ryan Graves (and His Game) Be Rebuilt?
I was thinking about our Penguins this morning, mind wandering about rather aimlessly, when it settled on defensemanRyan Graves.
Immediately, I was reminded of the opening monologue to The Six Million Dollar Man, a popular ’70s TV show about an astronaut who was critically injured in a spaceship crash.
“Steve Austin. Astronaut, a man barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world’s first bionic man… Better than he was before. Better…stronger…faster.”
Can we, or more specifically our brand-new coaching staff, rebuild Graves, our version of the six million dollar man? (Okay, $4.5 million.)
