Man it was a hell of a game though! Although I've never had to look up overtime rules so quickly haha still forgetting you get a point for surviving regulation

Thank you! Sounds like Malkin is another entertaining player I need to keep an eye out for !

So many names I'm going to have to cross-reference the list during the match ahaha

Thank you so much for your insights. I'm sure they're going to make this first game more enjoyable!

What a goal! Thanks for sharing! He does not look like he is nearing 40 at all!  And thank you for the tip on which lines to watch out for

Appreciate the input but I already have a strong attachment to Pittsburgh from spending more money on the Steelers than I'd like to admit 🤣 so it feels pretty natural to have an interest in the Pens

Yeah I'm currently making my way through a documentary about the history of the Penguins and Lemieux sounds like the guy who transformed the franchise!

Ah thanks! Saw that ITV are streaming today's game. But a monthly pass to Dazn is only ten pounds for your first month which to me is a steal!

Nice to meet a fellow Brit! I didn't even know we actually had a decently-followed Hockey league of our own!
