That's awesome! He's gone full circle. The Pens drafted him in either 93 or 94.

Excellent...

Never flashy but he did everything he was supposed to. Solid pickup for a team like the Pens.

Park gives the Penguins some nice depth. I'd like to see him in the lineup about half the time or so, I suppose. Solid player, but probably most useful as an alternative to some of the younger grinders.

Actually, you could have something here. Crusher and Lowblow sound like very appropriate nicknames for Cooke and Crosby.

LMAO!!

Really? I didn't realize the Penguins were desparate for 4th liners.
