Early this week, excitement set in. Well, as of about an hour ago, the NHL officially approved a return-to-play plan. So Pittsburgh Penguins fans, get excited because it’s real!
The NHLPA approved a 24-team playoff model late last week as everyone around the Pittsburgh Penguins waited patiently for more news to follow. Well, this afternoon, that news was delivered as the National Hockey League officially approved that plan. Finally, we can get some hockey back and see if the Penguins can raise Lord Stanley again.
