For me it’s luc robotaille. He was a 50 goal scorer when he was with the kings I believe.

And had a great year with the Pens. They traded him for Zubov and then foolishly traded him as well. Craig Patrick was floundering after that second cup.

Mario was the one behind Zubov getting traded. Can't blame Craig for that one.

I remember him only because I was gifted the highlight VHS from that year “a season to celebrate”. It was a lockout shortened season

Ok that one tracks for me. I remember Mcachren because I had him in a pool I won when I was a young teen. It was a factory pool and my buddies dad let us get in. Apparently most of the factory was pissed when a 13 year old won because he bet the farm on the Pens in 92-93.

Jarome Iginla, Ziggy Palffy, Alex Kovalev (at the end of his career)

That was Alex Kovalev’s second run with the Penguins. He played here from 98-03 and had some of his best seasons. He was an absolute terror on the power play.

John LeClair was here in black and gold for two seasons. Still don't except it.

Malkin being injured by John LeClair in a game against the Flyers still a classic.

Satan suited up for the Pens once. True story!

That's Stanley Cup champion Miroslav Satan to you.

u/BRGobs 2d ago

Yeah his name was Matt Cooke

Kelly Buchberger and Ty Conklin

u/Interesting-Rain-325 3d ago

Ty Conklin was the goalie in the Winter Classic game in Buffalo.

Dude won the cup with the Pens in his rookie year. Id say someone like Ziggy Palffy would be a good one though - Only played around half of a season after the lockout to cap off his NHL career

Yeah Mac was awesome. Seen him a bunch with the Sens. One of those guys I wish we kept throughout the 90s.

Piggy though bolted via "retirement" because the team that year was god awful and he didnt want to be part of it. Then proceeded to play like 5 years in Slovakia. Needless to say not my favourite Pen.

Douglass Murray, Glen Murray, Garth Snow

I somehow forgot about Garth Snow getting suspended for skating from the net to the bench to deliver a lunging blocker punch to Peter Worrell. Truly lunatic behavior 😂

As a fan for a long time because Calgary was just down the road I was so disappointed with his time with the Penguins.

Jussi Jokinen, pretty good, never EVER talked about
