"trade Geno"

so besides the fact that trading Geno would be betrayal of the highest order (I'm not really joking*) look at this mess of a game, lmao. without Geno we lose to new jersey!! like, the fuck was that. lol.

#pittsburgh penguins #pens lb #yeah i'm a little late lol #*look. at nineteen years old this man took a backpack with some spare clothes and some cash and stole his passport back from the people #who had taken it from him and went into hiding in Helsinki for two weeks. he defected from his country like it was nineteen goddamn ninety!#in order to come play for the Penguins. in order to come play with Sidney Crosby.#and stayed with the Penguins despite the fact that he could easily have gone to another team and not only would he have made more money #but he would not have been the eternal second fiddle to Sidney Crosby. he could have gone elsewhere and been The Star Player.#'he's not that good anymore' 'he's not worth that much money' okay even if we accept that as true.#as an organization. as a collection of people. are you REALLY going to yeet him for some cash?#is that REALLY worth it to you?#not to mention... *looks directly into the camera* 'it's me AND geno'#pens #hockey #gmjr already took all of our emotional support swedes. you can't trade geno.#all those articles that call him the soul of the team aren't lying!
