#TBT to the last time the Penguins beat the Blackhawks in Chicago

Vietnam_war_early_years (1)

Well, since the Penguins decided to get shit pumped by the Blackhawks (THE FUCKING BLACKHAWKS!) again last night, I figured we’d take a stroll down memory lane to revisit the last time this franchise didn’t shit its pants in the windy city (hint: only three current Penguins were on that roster).

Thankfully, noted good boy, G, did all the research for me. Sure, I may be a lazy piece of shit for keeping this week’s edition of #TBT rather short, but so, too, is Evgeni Malkin! I guess great minds two people of completely different nationalities that have nothing to do with one another and have vastly different bank account sizes think alike! Fuck all that effort.

So without wasting any more of your time, let’s take a look at the last time the Penguins won a goddamn hockey game in Chicago.

Shoutout Tim Wallace (and Eric Godard for managing to get a penalty in 1:49 TOI).

Fun fact: Niemi used to be good.

Guess Eddie O didn’t keep his stick on the ice that game.

Or this game.

So what did we learn from this?

The Penguins couldn’t win a game in Chicago even if it meant the Blackhawks were the worst team in the NHL and coming off of an eight game losing streak where they only held a lead for :45 over the previous 27 calendar days.

P.S. – this blog sucked.
