  • Former Penguins goaltender Tom Barrasso, whose 19-year NHL career included back-to-back Stanley Cup championships with the Penguins in 1991 and '92, was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
    Barrasso spent parts of 12 seasons in Pittsburgh, appearing in 460 career regular-season games with the Penguins going 226-153-53 with a 3.27 goals-against average and 22 shutouts. He ranks second in franchise history among goaltenders in games played (460), wins (226), shutouts (22) and has the most points (31) among all netminders in team history.
    The native of Boston, Massachusetts was instrumental in Pittsburgh's back-to-back Stanley Cup Championships in 1991 and '92. Over the course of both playoff runs, Barrasso went 28-12 with a 2.72 goals-against average, .913 save percentage and two shutouts, including a 39-save shutout in Pittsburgh's 8-0 Stanley Cup-clinching win against Minnesota in Game 4 of the 1991 Stanley Cup Final.
    Barrasso is now the 11th member of Pittsburgh's 1991 or '92 Stanley Cup Championship teams to be enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame, joining Scotty Bowman (1991), Bob Johnson (1992), Mario Lemieux (1997), Bryan Trottier (1997), Joe Mullen (2000), Craig Patrick (2001), Paul Coffey (2004), Larry Murphy ('04), Ron Francis (2007) and Mark Recchi (2017).

    Great heartfelt speech. He’s the reason why I wore #35 when I was a young goalie. I only wish he would have been able to have a better relationship with the fans throughout his career.

      Exactly, he made ZERO mention or thanks to the fans in his speech, I'm sad about that. I always liked Tommy B but he could stand some humility.

    Barrasso looks like he's going to lead an orchestra after delivering his speech.

    I remember when he got drafted to Buffalo, the year after I was MVP of the Hockeytown senior no check league. We won in 82, over 32 teams. I stopped two breakaways, winning the final 6 / 5, in OT.

    When I see Jarry out there as #35 I can't help but think of Barrasso every time. His induction seemed long overdue.

      When I see Jarry out there, I can't but think of why he'll never be Barrasso. One is a loser. The other is a winner. #TwoCups

      @@RayManzarekRocksI wasn't trying to make any other connection between the two besides the number 35. I am wishing he was that caliber.

    Loved Tom as a player, always disappointed though how his relationship with the Pens really went down hill. But time heals all wounds, Jagr is having his number retired later this season, lets do the same for Tom.

    Looks good yet, maybe he could suit up and back up Jarry and replace him when he is having a bad night lol!!

      Don't think Barrasso could play 25-plus games/season.
