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:

Let's Go Pens!!!

With both Guentzel and Archibald making significant contributions in this years playoffs, the Pittsburgh Penguins are quickly becoming "Omaha's Team".

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.

Former Omaha Maverick Anthony Stolarz was in goal for the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

I don't really remember him from UNO but the TV Announcers mentioned it.

Here is what Wikipedia says:

Although Stolarz enjoyed most aspects of his time with the Omaha Mavericks, he was frustrated about splitting his time in goal with starting goaltender John Faulkner and backup Dayn Belfour, the son of former NHL player Ed Belfour.[12] After playing only eight games for Omaha, Stolarz dropped out, accepting an offer from the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).

Cool to see Jake Guentzel and Team USA get a gold today!

Obviously, Jake Guentzel is the first former maverick to get an olympic gold medal, but unless there is someone I'm missing, he was the first to get his name on the Stanley Cup as well, right?

Josh Archibald and Jake Guentzel both got their name on it in the same season. In the post game celebration, Jake raised the Cup, then he handed it to Josh.
