“1001: A Penguins Odyssey," or,  "A Conversation With Shane Taylor” CGY@PIT 11/23/22

Before the puck drops tonight, the Penguins will honor the 2009 Conn Smythe Trophy-winning, three time Stanley Cup Champion, Penguin-for-life Evgeni Malkin with a special ceremony. Although 71’s 1000th NHL game already came and went, a 5-3 victory for his team, on the road in Chicago, the hometown fans have something to give Geno: A tsunami of clapping, shouting, board-pounding, foot-stomping, and whistling to be precise. The applause will last, it will echo through the rafters of PPG Paints Arena for as long as the Penguins’ current barn stands, as long as there are ice hockey games played within its property lines. Malkin, who has played his entire career both in Pittsburgh and in the shadow of one of the Hockey-Rushmore caliber Sidney Crosby, is a treasure of this franchise, of this league, and of the sport of hockey. Cherish these, the last years of what has been a magnificent career for 71.
