Hockey is a business, but seeing teammates talk about the departure of their former teammates will always hit close to the heart. Bryan Rust talks about the departure of his former teammates as he is set to face off for the first time tonight versus the Pittsburgh Penguins in a different uniform.
Ruhwedel makes return versus Penguins as a Ranger
Tonight, the New York Rangers will be facing the Pittsburgh Penguins in an intense matchup. It will also be Chad Ruhwedel's first game back in Pittsburgh in a different uniform after the long time Penguin got traded to the New York Rangers back on March 8th for a fourth round draft pick.
Bryan Rust commented on what Chad Ruhwedel meant to the Penguins organization, on and off the ice.
Rudy was the ultimate team guy. He was in the cast of different roles over a very long time here. He was the guy that if he wasn't in the lineup, he always stayed ready. Didn't matter if he was out of the lineup for one game or fifteen plus games or whatever it is- he got back in the lineup and played as well as if he kept playing the entire time. Even when you saw him as an everyday guy, he was playing well, doing his job, doing everything the right way. I think it just goes to show what kind of player he is, what kind of work ethic he puts in everyday. He was obviously one of the better friends here, been together for a long time, so it's definitely weird to see him today in red, white and blue. But definitely, he will be missed.
Looks like Chad Ruhwedel will be missed dearly by the Penguins boys.
