Penguins to debut new jersey...

The penguins will be debuting their 3rd jersey tonight against Buffalo at 7:30 PM. The pens really need to get their D and their Goaltending in order here. It seemed like at the beginning of the season our O was doing shit, and our goaltending and D were keeping us afloat, now it's the opposite. Hopefully mikey t can get our D and G to come around like he did with the O so we can have the full OGD going, rather than the GD or the O.

Anyways, in addition to new Unis, our goaltenders will both have new masks. Marc-Andre will have a mask which is mostly blue and yellow and features an old Penguins logo, his No. 29, the date of the Winter Classic, initials honoring his four deceased grandparents and a fleur-de-lis on the chin. The Brick Wall Danny Sabs will be paying hommage to a late great of the game of hocky, ex-penguins goaltender Dunc Wilson...

yeah the pens sucked back then so that obviously wasn't a playoff beard...NOW THATS THE KIND OF DETERMINATION I WANT TO SEE...treat everygame like the playoffs...hopefully Danny Sabs brings that same determination that Dunc Wilson brought with his facial hair to the game with his new Threads...

To be fair, The Lip (that's sid if you haven't caught on yet, i wanted to call him The White Mike Tomlin because of his interview style but Kev's nickname was shorter) may be a few months into his playoff beard for all we know...

It may be possible that Pesonen may get the call. The Penguins placed Bissonnette was placed on waivers according to this article (toward the bottom):
