PENGUINS WINNNNN

[Clint Hurdle @ClintHurdle13]

I kept this story in my pocket for a long time....

In Pittsburgh, September 15th is Roberto Clemente Day.

Every year the whole organization fans out across the city. It's like Christmas. Roberto's family is there, Vera and the boys.

My first year as manager was 2011. We celebrated. We shook hands and moved on.
We didn't win.

19 consecutive losing seasons.

2012 rolls around. Same day, same celebration. We had another losing season, our 20th consecutive.

After the ceremony, Roberto Jr. walked over.

"My mom wants to talk to you."

We went into the dugout. Me, Vera, and her three sons.

She spoke in Spanish. I played four years of winter ball so I understood enough. She wasn't angry, but she was passionate. And I kept hearing Roberto's number come up.

Roberto Jr. translated.

"My mother wants you to know that there cannot be a 21st losing season. That was Roberto's number. It would be a disgrace to his legacy."

She was staring right at me.

Before I could even think about what to say, words came out of my mouth:
"I promise you, Vera. That won't happen."

Roberto Jr. looked at me and said, "You made my mom a promise. I hope you can keep it."

I said, "I hope I can keep it too."

I didn't tell my coaches. I didn't tell the players. I told my wife. That was it.

The next year, 2013, we broke the consecutive seasons losing streak. Ended it at 20.

On Roberto Clemente Day that September, Vera came walking across that field.

And I probably got one of the most meaningful hugs I've ever received in my life.

The players did all the heavy lifting. I just got the hug.

Some promises are worth making before you know if you can keep them.

@chrismeaney This line will haunt the league for years to come

@OilersJack Best to push it off as long as possible

Zach Charbonnet realizing he now has to run the 99 yards before the goal line:

Konnor Griffin homer and Ben Kindel goal within minutes of each other

It seems by signing a handful of solid, reasonable guys to flip at the deadline, the Penguins have inadvertently given themselves the best forward depth they’ve had in four years

This is one of the worst calls I've seen in recent memory.

Not only is Rakell being hauled down by Sanderson outside the blue paint, Sanderson's stick is the one to make contact with Ullmark.

Just bonkers. Goaltender interference is a total guess by the league. It has to be.

@WWZ2k @PenguinsJesus I’d rather have 58 out there in this scenario than 65 every single time (but both together is an insane choice)

I’ll still be doing it regardless, if the people want it they know where to get it 🫶🏼

Do they miss me? Should I run it back? Did they even notice I was gone?
