I am not sure if this will make it to you guys, but I can only hope. If by chance this makes it to the locker room.
I want to thank you all for this amazing season and getting to watch each of you play together and hopefully for more seasons to come.
I have laughed when you laugh,
I smile when you smile,
I cheer when you cheer,
I cry when you cry.
I hurt when you hurt,
I am a fan
We all bleed black and gold
We may not be on the ice with you, but we are one family.
There is not a person on this Roster that I am not a fan of. If I had the money I would own each of your Jerseys. There is no reason this team can’t compete with any Penguins team before this. Let alone this Detroit Redwing team, they bleed just like you, they make mistakes, they tire, they slow down. They are not immortal. They can be beat and you all have proven it. Don’t give up, don’t back down.
We the fans believe, you should believe!
I just want to add a few quotes that remind me of this team and its players.
In the 8th inning you can't hear the roar of the 9th, all you can do to hold yourself together, and trust. - Jim Abbott
Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it. - Dwight Eisenhower
All I can say to the young players is, enjoy every moment of it. Just enjoy every moment of it. Your career goes by very quickly. – Mario Lemieux
The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it. - Wayne Gretzky
Each of you will be remembered this way. That is how you all play, that is why we love you. That is why you were Black and Gold!
Don’t do this for the fans or the city, but keep us in mind. Do it for yourselves, and those who guided you.
No one celebraties a Victory at the Igloo! Only us!
Play Smart, Play Tough, and Play Hard!
LETS GO PENS!!!
