Wow! Tonight Jake Guentzel scored the first-ever playoff Hat-Trick by a rookie in Penguins history! The third goal was the game winner too!

Video is crazy, look how hard Crosby worked to get him the puck:

As a Penguins fan, I love seeing him in the black and gold. Great knowing that I got to watch him play college hockey and that he was actually born in this city. One day, maybe UNO hockey will be retiring his number, you never know, but based on the trajectory he's on, anything is possible.

Too bad he had the injury last year. He was on pace for a monster season. But, the future still looks great.

Yeah he definitely deserves to have his number retired by UNO.

I think they need to look at a Guentzel statue for Baxter.
