Instead of passing pucks, a few Penguins spent Thursday passing out season tickets.
As a show of their appreciation for tremendous fan support, Pittsburgh Penguins players hand-delivered season tickets to 24 season ticket-holders throughout the Pittsburgh area.

Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Marc-Andre Fleury, Ryan Whitney, Colby Armstrong and Maxime Talbot made the deliveries to the fans, who were selected at random.
“It was nice. It was nice to see the reaction on people’s faces,” Crosby said. “Everyone appreciated it; it was fun for me and for the rest of the guys to go and interact with people who support us so much. Some of the people have been season ticket-holders for 30 years. So, this was nice for us to do and to say thanks personally.”
Fleury agreed: “It’s been good. Everyone has been really nice. It’s cool to meet the fans. They seemed happy. These people always come see us, so it’s great to meet them and talk to them and see them one-on-one. It’s pretty cool.”
