As the ol’ brain pan continues to run on ‘E’ in terms of fresh ideas, I’ll once again resort to the offbeat (and silly) to provide a little entertainment value.
Last night I had a dream. (No, really.) Actually, nightmare is more like it. The Penguins traded super scorer and all-around good guy Jake Guentzel to our old friend Bill Guerin in Minnesota. The return? The human equivalent of two bags of lightly used pucks.
It reminds me of one of my…uh…less than shining moments as a blogger. Following our disappointing playoff loss to the Islanders in 2021 when Guentzel was banged around physically and limited to a lone goal in six games, I opined that it might be an opportune time to deal the Omaha native for a player with more size and sandpaper.
