Former Notre Dame right wing Bryan Rust shows off delicious milkshake

Delicious.

Two years ago, my wife and I took a trip to Pittsburgh and got to experience the local institution known as the Milkshake Factory. During that time, the chain was offering a milkshake named after then-Penguins left wing Jake Guentzel. The milkshake went away when the Penguins dealt Guentzel during last season’s trade deadline.

But a new season means a chance at a new milkshake involving a Penguins player. The Milkshake Factory has taken advantage of that chance and teamed up with former Notre Dame right wing [autotag]Bryan Rust[/autotag].

Rust’s milkshake differs from Guentzel’s, but it’s my opinion that this one is better, and I wish I had the opportunity to travel to the Steel City right now just to try it. Yes, I would try it over the Campfire Milkshake that proved to be the only thing most people liked about the Chicago White Sox’s historically awful season they just had.

Rust will start this season on injured reserve, but at least this milkshake always will be available as long as it’s being offered.

Penguins Jake Guentzel scored an absurd goal after kicking the puck to himself, but it probably shouldn’t have counted

Should this incredible goal from Jake Guentzel have stood as called?

Jake Guentzel just put together one of the more incredible hockey goals you’ll ever see.

During Game 7 between the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers, Guentzel put the away team on top 2-1 after this absolutely absurd goal. With the Penguins on the power play, Guentzel found space all alone right in front to receive a pass, which he then kicked from his skate up in the air before batting it down into the Rangers net past Igor Shesterkin.

It was a hell of an athletic feat, to juggle the puck with precise hand-eye coordination in the way Guentzel did here for a mind-blowing goal. And yet, the goal wasn’t without controversy as it went to review after Guentzel possibly batted the puck in with his stick above the crossbar.

After review, however, the officials stated that the goal was good for the 2-1 Penguins lead.

I get why the referees made the call they did, as it’s so hard to tell definitively with all the angles shown that Guentzel’s stick was above the crossbar. The NHL themselves issued a statement that video review even confirmed that his stick “was at or below the height of the crossbar” when he deflected the puck into the net.

And yet, it’s so hard not to look at this angle and wonder if the right call was made.

Still, the Rule of Cool won out and at the end of the day, Guentzel’s goal counted!
