As the Grateful Dead sang in their 1970 classic, Truckin’, “what a long, strange trip it’s been.” Yes, I’m referring to the Penguins’ Cinderella season.

"Back when training camp assembled last September, who’da thunk (in no particular order): Anthony Mantha, coming off a season lost to ACL surgery at age 31, would register career highs in goals (31), assists (30) and points (61); Fellow free-agent Justin Brazeau would establish career highs in goals (17), assists (17) and points (34); Scrappy fourth-liner Connor Dewar would register career highs in goals (14), assists (16) and points (30); Erik Karlsson would rediscover his three-time Norris Trophy winning form while earning team MVP honors; Obscure free-agent Parker Wotherspoon would serve as the perfect partner for EK65, freeing the silky Swede to play his masterful, free-flowing game while adding gristle to the blueline corps; Evgeni Malkin would turn back time at age 39 and return to his old, galloping self while averaging better than a point per game, while playing wing to boot; Rickard Rakell would switch from wing to center and thrive to the tune of 11 goals over a crucial 10-game stretch; Egor Chinakhov would arrive in a mid-season deal with the CBJ for the proverbial bag of used pucks and instantly emerge as a sensational, net-filling, star-in-the-making; First-round pick Ben Kindel would play his way into a prominent role as a-mature-beyond-his-years, 18-year-old rookie; Journeyman Ryan Shea (seven points in 70 career games) would tally six goals and 31 points while blossoming into a steady, surprisingly mobile two-way defenseman; Kris Letang and Sam Girard would jell as a puck-moving, second defensive pairing following a rocky start; With plenty of shot-blocking miles on his chassis, 34-year-old Noel Acciari would rebound to score 12 goals after combining for nine the previous two seasons; A dozen players would tally double-figures in goals, including four 20+ goal scorers; We’d score four or more non-shootout goals in a game 42 times, five or more 23 times; Sidney Crosby would register his NHL record 21st season of point-per-game production (okay, not a surprise); The team would go 5-4-3 without Sid and 9-10-4 without Blake Lizotte; Sid would not earn team MVP honors, an award he’s garnered 13 times; Bryan Rust would play gritty, inspired hockey and top the 60-point mark for the second season in a row (not a surprise, Part 2); Kyle Dubas and his staff would score a bullseye on virtually every addition, including hulking trade deadline acquisition Elmer Söderblom; Dubas would find a taker for Tristan Jarry; The PPG Paints partisans would take a shine to Stuart Skinner (Stuuuuuu); Rookie coach Dan Muse would serve as the Pens’…uh…muse; We’d evolve into a spirited, heart ‘n’ soul, never-say-team; We’d go 3-10 in shootouts; We’d be on the verge of clinching our first playoff berth since 2022 in an insanely competitive Eastern Conference."

2025
"Sam Girard broke the scoreless tie when he sniped home a wrister that hit inside the left post for his 20th point of the season."

2024
"It started with Sean Monohan finishing a back-door pass evading Sam Girard, and making it 1-0."

2023
"Sam Girard also had a breakaway late catching Minnesota on a change but it was stopped along with the rebound."

2022
"Again the Avalanche’s poor net front coverage cost them a goal, this time due to Nathan MacKinnon not being able to recognize Sam Girard was out of position in time to tie up Blackwell."

2021
"Nonetheless, here is the schedule breakdown for the Avalanche this month, with a side of Sam Girard and some puppies: November is here!"

2020
"Since then Graves only trails Sam Girard in five-on-five time on ice with 17."

2019
"The pairing of Sam Girard and Cale Makar aka “Turn and Burn” is a wonderful thing and should have been utilized more this season."
