Sometimes, father just ain't like son. If Chris Bourque's name was Chris Smith, he would be playing throwaway games up in Rochester. It boggles the mind that the Penguins organization seems so absolutely hell-bent on getting this kid playing time when he has shown not one ounce of talent. Even during the broadcast, Steigerwald and Errey go to great lengths to defend this guy. Who can forget the yawning net that he completely missed against Martin Brodeur and the New Jersey Devils? Steigerwald chalked it up to Bourque being at a bad angle. If a bad angle is being two feet away from a wide open net with a puck on your stick, I better go back to Geometry class. I don't care if the Penguins have to pry Kevin Stevens away from snorting coke every other day, this franchise needs a winger that will ensure that Bourque is either sent to the minors or commits suicide from sucking.
There are two assurances that I will make about Bourque right now.
1. He will never score a goal in a Penguins uniform.
2. He will undoubtedly score a goal against the Penguins with another team.
