The Penguins have prepped for sleep disturbances on their weekend road trip to face the Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers.
They’ve packed extra earplugs, noise machines, even sound-muffling pillows.
Why? Their dads are in tow for the weekend, and many of them apparently snore loudly.
“I think the snoring is a bit of an issue, sharing a room with him,” defenseman Ian Cole joked about his father, a dentist from Michigan. “You’ve got to bring some earplugs for when the dads are with you, then some Bose headphones on top of that, and maybe a pillow on top of that to try to get some sleep.
