Ahh interestingI can't seem to find the "rules" but every team is allowed a home, away, and an alt jersey. There are special exceptions made for special event jerseys such as Winter Classic, Stadium Series, anniversary jerseys, etc. Since RR was a league-wide initiative, it didn't fall under the alt jersey rules.Reverse retros lasted one yearI think alts have to be used for at least 3 years so definitely not before that. With FSG in charge then, it’s possible.

In 4 of the first 5 games, pens scored 4 or more goals (6, 4, 5, 7)
In the 19 games since, they've done it 3 times (4, 6, 4)
On the season:
0 goals: 1x (0-1-0)
1 goal: 6x (1-3-2)
2 goals: 5x (2-2-1)
3 goals: 4x (2-2-0)
4+ goals: 7x (5-0-2)
Interesting that over half of the games are 2 or less goals... not a winning recipe.

Is interesting that they still managed 3 wins and 3 loser points in those games though. Jarry (and to a lesser extent, the D) have been doing a pretty great job, but obviously not ideal circumstances.

Roster seems pretty weak of all the Sid era teams but I still maintain that we’re a dangerous team in the playoffs due to our star power at the top. Also while he hasnt shown it in the playoffs, I do think Jarry is capable of a 2016-2018 Murray type run
I think the challenge is making sure we make the playoffs but I think we at least have a punchers chance if we get in

Evan Rodrigues' goal Saturday was the 13850th in the history of the Pens. His 16 goals represent 0.11% of the 13852 total goals.
For comparison, Crosby's 488th (team 13852nd) puts him at 3.52% of team goals. Mario's 690 is 4.98%. (10026 was the total goals as of Mario's final game, or 6.88% at the time - Mario's final goal was the 9991st in team history - the 2nd goal in the Crosby shootout winner against Montreal on 11-10-2005)
Assuming a full season this year, someone will score the 14000th goal in team history this season. 148 to go, with 61 games to go, at 2.905 goals for per game - would be 177 more goals expected.
Love stuff like this. Thanks rel

Nice bonus opportunity, @Orlando Penguin. My pick for #1400 is Geno.

Friday's game will be the first NHL on ESPN broadcast with a "Megacast," the ability to choose between different ESPN-produced feeds. In addition to the main, standard broadcast, viewers have the option to choose a "Star Watch" alternate feed that will have isolated cameras and stats on Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin all game.
Bob Wischusen will be the play-by-play broadcaster for the game, along with analyst Ray Ferraro. Emily Kaplan will be the rinkside reporter. Arda Ocal, Rick DiPietro, and John Tortorella will be the in-studio analysts.

Time to sell high on Rodriguez? Or perhaps other GM's are not fooled by his numbers and he would net a bag of pucks in return 
He seems kind of useful so far...

Yeah, I mean, I would listen obviously...but on a roster like this, I don't mess with what's reasonably working. His game is hollow and incomplete, but the devil you know...
We didn't keep Andy Hilbert either...

Been pretty disappointed with ESPN+ app thus far.
Biggest Gripes
- There's no option to start at the beginning of a game easily.
- The layout of the main screen is horrendous. Why can't I have a tailored page with only what I want on it?
The NHL tv app was far superior. IDK why it was abandoned.

online ONLY. you cannot watch this on cable or satellite ESPN. I hate this because I like to surf around during commercials and the streaming thing makes that harder.
