Over the weekend, Pittsburgh Penguins forward Bryan Rust and his wife hosted several teammates for a special viewing of the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers game.
Over the weekend, Pittsburgh Penguins forward Bryan Rust and his wife hosted several of their teammates at their home to watch the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers against the Baltimore Ravens.
The game, which was a Steelers win, was a fun event for all involved.
It was good. It was fun. Everybody was into it. With how packed the schedule has been, we haven't had too many opportunities to get together as a team. It was an opportunity that my wife and I saw, like, hey, let's just get everybody over our house. We don't have a babysitter [laughs], so let's just have everybody come over here. - Bryan Rust
After Rust joked that he's learned what not to do at team get-togethers from captain Sidney Crosby, he would respond with a laugh.
I would love to hear what that is. thought he did a great job (hosting). It's great when you get together and get a big win. We were watching both games [also Canada's loss to Czechia in the World Junior Championship semifinals], so we got one result that we wanted, and not so much the other one. For me, anyway. But it was great to have the guys together, and nice of him and Kels to host. - Sidney Crosby
Rust, Crosby and the Penguins are red hot, having won five straight games.
Bryan Rust Remains At The Top Of Penguins Trade Rumours
Rust, who has played his entire NHL career in a Penguins sweater and won consecutive Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017, continues to be heavily involved in trade rumours.
Rust was at the top of the list of likely Penguins trade candidates over the summer, but neither he nor Rickard Rakell and Erik Karlsson, both of whom were also trade candidates, ended up being moved...at least yet.
If the Penguins can somehow maintain their momentum, Rust could find himself sticking around at least through the end of the season, but if things begin to go south, don't be surprised to see him moved.
