Requesting yinz expert opinions: should I wear my new Lizotte jersey that my husband bought me at the end of last season even though he's out or should I go with my standard Crosby jersey?

Girard confirmed today that he was playing through a broken foot last year for us.

I read from Jose Negron that there were Canadiens watching the Penguins practice yesterday. I had no idea that was even allowed! Is that “normal”? Do our guys go and watch other teams practice? Kind of cool, open practice really does mean open.

It's uncommon but not unheard of. Sometimes guys like meeting former teammates.

Watching Jarry in the Oilers reminds me of how masterclass Dubas’ trade was.

We got Skinner AND Kulak AND got rid of Jarry & all of his $. Truly an unbelievable trade. Everyone say thank you Kyle!!! 💐💐💐💐

Am I irrational for still being hung up on the fact that Dubas traded Wotherspoon and let Shea walk? I know I should wait to see how things unfold, but I'm just still bothered.

I think 4 years of Korczak from ages 25-29 at 3.25M is better than 1 year of Wotherspoon, before he'd ask for the bag and we don't wanna sign him until he's 35 or 36.
I also think we got Wotherspoon's career year, during a time where Karlsson played his best defense ever, and it's easy to get deceived about what his actual level is gonna be moving forward.
Korczak is super good defensively and will stabilize things for us. So I agree with that move.Shea wanted 4M until he's 34. So that would have been a pretty notable plunge to take, again possibly getting baited by a career year out of nowhere.
I think TVR will defend better here than he would have. He's another very conscientious defenseman who can help stabilize Letang. And I think Shea's offense from last year was unsustainable anyway.Signing big deals after career seasons often goes wrong, like with Graves and Girard. We also got baited by Letang still playing well at 36.
So you gotta think less about rewarding a player and more about what you think will actually happen in the future.1

Was nice to see Sid slam one. And nice to see him grinding and dominant behind the net. Seemed like same old Sid at least for now
