Penguins burn Senators, Karlsson in Twitter exchange

Watch the shot that would eventually stand as the Stanley Cup winning goal for the Pittsburgh Penguins by Kris Letang; a low shot off a pass from Sidney Crosby.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have Kris Letang‘s back.

The National Hockey League’s official Twitter account posted a story ranking the best defenceman heading to the World Cup of Hockey by points. The post included an image of Ottawa Senators defenceman Erik Karlsson, Brent Burns of the San Jose Sharks, and Nashville Predators’ Roman Josi.

The Penguins responded to the question of who is most likely to put up points with an image of Letang hoisting the Stanley Cup. A confused looking image of Karlsson from the Senators was answered with some clarification from the Penguins.


Chalk it up as a ‘W’ for the Penguins.
