Pittsburgh electing Kyle Dubas’ doppelg\u00e4nger Corey O’Connor\u00a0as mayor gave me the idea for a Survey Says: Which Penguins player could be mayor? Here’s how the players (and some now-former Penguins) answered.<\/p>\n
Bryan Rust:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m not\u00a0going to say (Kevin) Hayes because he\u2019s probably a popular answer. I\u2019m going to say Erik Karlsson. Very smiley, very upbeat, very bubbly. Shoots it straight when he needs to, and he can sugarcoat it when he needs to.\u201d<\/p>\n
Noel Acciari: \u201cProbably Hayesy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ryan Graves:\u00a0\u201cMayor of Pittsburgh? I think Sid. But just a general mayor, it\u2019d be Hayes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack St. Ivany:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019d say Tanger. He\u2019s got the brain for it, he knows a lot about everything. Rutger could be the face of a campaign, but I don\u2019t know if he\u2019d be coming up with the ideas himself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rutger McGroarty:\u00a0\u201cTanger, he\u2019d be a good mayor. (Me: Ivy said you could be the face of a campaign but not the idea guy.) He\u2019s not wrong!\u201d<\/p>\n
Brett Kulak:\u00a0\u201cSid, he\u2019s got leadership skills and commands the respect of his peers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tristan Jarry:\u00a0\u201cTanger, because he\u2019s good at arguing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stuart Skinner: \u201cSid, he\u2019d be the best.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ville Koivunen:\u00a0\u201cHayesy!\u201d<\/p>\n
Sidney Crosby: \u201cI think Cliffy. He could definitely do it. I\u2019ve got to go with Rusty, too. Rusty could run for mayor.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ben Kindel:\u00a0\u201cRusty. He\u2019s like, the mayor of the sewerball circle.\u201d<\/p>\n
Connor Clifton:\u00a0\u201cSid, the captain. He\u2019s the best, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n
Connor Dewar: \u201cSidney Crosby.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rickard Rakell:\u00a0\u201cEveryone\u2019s going to say Sid, so I\u2019m going to say Hayesy. He\u2019s a great guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kris Letang: \u201cMAYOR BOKO!\u201d<\/p>\n
Sergei Murashov: \u201cI think Bryan Rust, he\u2019s responsible. He\u2019s smart, he could handle it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harrison Brunicke: \u201cProbably Hayesy, to be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n
Justin Brazeau:\u00a0\u201cSid, everybody would vote Sid.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sam Poulin:\u00a0\u201cTanger. I feel like he\u2019s involved in a lot of things in the city, and he\u2019s been around a long time. He\u2019s got experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tommy Novak: \u201cCrosby, he\u2019d probably win.\u201d<\/p>\n
Erik Karlsson:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m going to say Blake Lizotte. He seems like he\u2019s a trustworthy guy, and he\u2019s got a good vocabulary.\u201d<\/p>\n
Parker Wotherspoon:\u00a0\u201cShea, he could run. He\u2019d get a few votes. He\u2019s pretty calm. I don\u2019t know his politics, but he\u2019d win some people over.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blake Lizotte: \u201cI think Tanger could. He\u2019s pretty political, knows his stuff, opinionated. He\u2019d do a good job.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anthony Mantha: \u201cThis guy right there (points at Letang). He\u2019s grumpy enough to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ryan Shea: \u201cI feel like Sid is the easiest answer, he\u2019d be the best at it. Maybe Tanger, he would just enforce his rules. He\u2019d be strict. Tanger would be a funny one.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arturs Silovs: \u201cLet\u2019s say Cliffy. (yells to Clifton) CLIFFY! You\u2019re the mayor of a city now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joona Koppanen: I would say (St. Ivany). He went to a good school, he\u2019s a smart guy. He went to Yale.\u201d<\/p>\n
Matt Dumba: \u201cHayesy has to be the pick. He\u2019s going to chop it up with everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kevin Hayes: \u201cMe. I take care of the boys.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pittsburgh electing Kyle Dubas’ doppelg\u00e4nger Corey O’Connor\u00a0as mayor gave me the idea for a Survey Says: Which Penguins…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":307075,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5113],"tags":[32654,5,4,118,99,1469,100,5216,61536],"class_list":{"0":"post-535665","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh-penguins","8":"tag-feed-article","9":"tag-hockey","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-penguins","12":"tag-penguins-news","13":"tag-pittsburgh","14":"tag-pittsburgh-penguins","15":"tag-pittsburghpenguins","16":"tag-survey-says"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116332257798024662","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535665"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535665\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/307075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
