Bill Guerin Is A Badass

From tPB:

Many years ago, I had tickets to a Boston Red Sox game at Fenway, and they were the cheaper outfield seats and fairly high up in right field. My buddies and I were drinking away when we noticed Bill Guerin and a couple other Bruins walking up the stairs to our section double-fisting beers at the start of the 1st inning. His walk was what got my attention: head down watching both beers as not to spill a drop but still moving quickly up the stairs.

After the second inning, Guerin went back down to get more beers.

Since I can't resist a chance to bust balls AND was sitting on the aisle, I stopped Guerin on his way up to his cheap seats.

I told him, "Didn't you learn from Lindros' and know you should keep your head up at all times?"

He stopped dead in his tracks, looked me dead in the eye and said, "I can handle a hit with my head down, but I'll be damned if I'm spilling my beer."

Clutch city.

Apparently he's a strong locker room personality, and sticks up for anyone on his team. This loyalty is just what the Pens need, so it should be interesting to see how he handles anyone taking a run at Crosby or Malkin. He seems to be loving it in Pittsburgh so far, especially because he's finally on a team that might make the playoffs. We'll see if he can produce at a top 6 forward level.
