Journeyman Louis Domingue headed to the Big Apple
Rangers fans recognize him very well.
He's taking his talents to the Big Apple, and there had better be plenty of spicy pork and broccoli on hand.
Journeyman backup goaltender Louis Domginue has agreed to a two year contract with the New York Rangers, joining his 6th NHL squad:
Rangers fans will remember him well, as he was on hand as backup to Casey DeSmith for the Pittsburgh Penguins during their Round 1 postseason opener against the New York Rangers that would eventually require three overtime periods to settle the final score; Domingue was called up from the American Hockey League thanks to an injury to starter Tristan Jarry. However, Domingue was suddenly called into action in the second overtime period after DeSmith was forced to leave the game with an ailment.
Of course, Domingue turned plenty of heads when he noted that he'd just finished a meal of spicy pork and broccoli before being unexpectedly called upon to replace DeSmith, who is out for the remainder of the playoffs after undergoing core muscle surgery. And he's already asking New York residents their favorite spot to get the now iconic meal:
He would start the next five games for the Penguins, performing as well as anyone could have reasonably expected.
He was drafted by the Phoenix Coyotes in the fifth round, 138th overall, of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, and would see action with them for a handful of seasons before being dealt to the Tampa Bay Lightning. He's also played for the Vancouver Canucks, New Jersey Devils, and Calgary Flames.
