Backup goalie Antti Niemi gave up four first-period goals in his Penguins debut against the Blackhawks Thursday in Chicago. He was pulled in favor of No. 1 goalie Matt Murray a little more than 10 minutes into the game.
Penguins fans on Twitter wasted little time clamoring for/ruing the departure of Marc-Andre Fleury, the long-time Penguins goalie who was selected by the Vegas Golden Knights in the NHL expansion draft this summer. Here’s a sampling.
@GoldenKnights Hey I have an idea. We could trade Niemi to you guys for Fleury. You like that idea?
