Like a fine Swedish brännvin (vodka), Patric Hornqvist keeps grinding on for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Even as it all takes a toll, there’s no replacing him.
From one side of the crease to the other, Patric Hornqvist can simply be defined as the Pittsburgh Penguins’ very own pest. Like a fly buzzing around the room in the middle of the night, he continues to torment netminders late into his career. His abilities to stand tall and torture the opposition and his body alike, have made him a fan favorite in Pittsburgh.
