Farewell And Good Riddance Tyler Kennedy

As the off season rolls along we are bound to lose a few friends along the way.  We lost our first friend yesterday at the draft in the form of Tyler Kennedy.  TK is that one friend in your group that you keep around just so you can pick on them.  TK had turned in to the majority of Penguin fans whipping boy over the past couple of season.  TK did have flashes of greatness though.  But those flashes were shorter than the Caps time in the playoffs,a Kim Kardashian marriage, or Kris Letang's hair.  Whichever analogy you prefer.  TK was traded to the San Jose Sharks for a 2nd round pick which the Penguins used to draft some goalie.  Kind of surprised it wasn't used on a defenseman.  So as we all say our final goodbyes to Tyler Kennedy we take a look back at his time a a Penguin, which was mostly forgettable.  There were 3 things that we will remember Tyler Kennedy for though.  1.  The tic tac toe goal in the 09 Finals.  But lets be honest.  Mark Madden could have scored that goal while beating off to some porn star.  Ok.  Back on track now.  The 2nd thing we'll remember about Tyler Kennedy is this:

And the last thing we will remember about Tyler Kennedy is...........The amazing accuracy of his shot.  I think the boys over at the Pensblog got it right with their gif in this post.  http://www.thepensblog.com/2013-archives/june/tyler-kennedy-was-traded-and-then-he-said-this.html
Can we just take a second to laugh at TK's comments there.

So long Tyler Kennedy.  Most of us are not gonna miss you.  He's your problem now San Jose.

Free agency starts in like 58 seconds.

Go Pens
