Players On Both Sides: Stars and Penguins

Taking a quick look at every player who has suited up for both the Pens and Dallas Stars since their move to Dallas. Didn't use anything but our memory for this list while looking at Dallas' all-time roster.  We just became Pens fans last week. Hopefully didn't miss any.   First up:

 

STU BARNES

STTTTTUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.  Even though he did a bunch for the Pens (had 17G-30G-20G) during his three-year stay in the late '90s, first thing when we think of him is this goal in Game 5 of the Pens 2001 series against the Sabres.  What a devastating moment this was at the time.  Still get that sinking feeling watching it.  Gary Thorne = chills.

 

MATTHEW BARNABY

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

JOHAN HEDBERG WTF

What a rush it was during that 2001 playoff run.

 

Probably played the best net of his career in Games 6 and 7 of this series. 

 

KEVIN HATCHER

We remember being pissed at Kevin Hatcher for some reason.

 

ALEX GOLIGOSKI

We've already had visions of a Dallas-Pens Cup Final.  Alex Goligoski will score some huge goal.

 

CHRIS CONNER

#NeverForget

 

ROB BROWN

 

PHILIPPE BOUCHER

Solid defenseman for the Pens during the 2009 Cup run.  Scored the GWG in Game 1 against Carolina.

 

JIM JOHNSON

 

DAN KESA

Any excuse to show this:

 

JAMES NEAL

James Neal is James Neal

 

MATT NISKANEN

Matt Niskanen is Matt Niskanen.

 

RON TUGNUTT

We always loved Tugnutt.  Pens' financial woes meant Tugnutt had to go.

 

DARRYL SYDOR

On the ice for Talbot's last-minute goal in Game 5 against the Wings.

 

SERGEI ZUBOV

shoooooooooooottttttttttttt

 

 

THE OTHER GUYS

And here's the rest of the guys who either didn't really generate a lot of solid memories or we mentioned them in the San Jose post.
