There’s a question that Ben Lovejoy is dying to ask, but
won’t.
Lovejoy has spent the last two months on the Pittsburgh Penguins
taxi squad, along with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton teammates Jeff Taffe,
Chris Minard, Dustin Jeffrey and John Curry. Although no players on
the taxi squad have suited up for a Stanley Cup playoff game, they
have been with the NHL club everyday on their journey that has
ultimately led to tonight’s deciding Game 7.
And while Lovejoy said the experience has been one that he will
never forget, in the back of his mind he is wondering if the
members of the taxi squad get a Stanley Cup ring if Pittsburgh
beats the Detroit Red Wings tonight.
