by and large you are what your body of work says you are that applies to professional athletes

that applies to much life but people do get better at things. Morning to you. Good Tuesday morning. I'm Dan Kovachievich

of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports. This is Daily Shot of Penguins. It comes your way bright and early every

weekday. If you're into football and or baseball, I also offer daily shots. Steelers and pirates in the same place that you found this.

Penguins are about to embark on a trip to St. Louis, Dallas, and Chicago.

Based on the way things have gone lately in the goaltending rotation,

Tristan Jari is going to get two of those three, and that'll mean two more chances

to keep showing that whatever he's doing is real, is worth recognizing as something more than

some magical spurt, some exception, some asterisk.

Now, I'll say it again here that I feel this is the best hockey he's played in his life,

and that still won't mean anything, because it doesn't mean anything, meaning what I think.

What means something is what the penguins think. What means something is what the penguins think.

What means something is what the other 31 general managers might think

as related to reestablishing his value in the hockey world.

But you want to know something?

Stick with me on this, okay?

And because I don't think this requires declaring that

jari is back he's your number

one again or anything crazy like that

all right

you're talking about someone who had to be sent to the

HL twice in the same season
