This image has been making the rounds... well, around the internet the past couple days, so I thought I'd give some insight into what the big deal here is for those of you who haven't been spending the better part of each of the last few days hitting refresh on all of the major hockey sites (like myself).
This picture was taken in 2009, in the fall following our third Stanley Cup victory. Since then each Penguin that took part in this iconic picture has died a slow, painful death. One by one. Or they each left the Pens by various means one by one. Not sure which.
Alex Goligoski (2nd from the right) was the first to make his leave from the Penguins, being part of the deal that sent Matt Niskanen and, more importantly, my homeboy James Neal from the Dallas Stars to Pittsburgh, PA. No complaints there.
What else is going on in this image?? Better continue reading to find out...
