The Kings trade Hagelin to the Caps

I can hear Mike Emrick call it now "Ovechkin brings the puck in on the right side, he goes behind and around the net, throws it in front to Hagelin, He shoots and scores!! The Capitals win the series!! The Capitals win the series!!"

The Penguins traded 2x Stanley Cup champion Carl Hagelin back in November for left-winger Tanner Pearson. Hagelin, 30, scored a goal in the Penguins Stanley Cup clinching win in 2017.

People forget that before Hagelin was a Penguin, he was a New York Ranger and a Penguin killer....



For people that remember Hagelin's days in New York, it seemed like every time he played the Penguins he scored.

If he does it against the Pens in the playoffs, and the Caps advance, I'll be leading the charge to fire Jim Rutherford.
