Pittsburgh Penguins forward Cody Glass was traded just (glares at watch sarcastically) three days ago, but he’s already mixing it up with those who follow the team.
Glass’ acquisition was shared by a Penguins fan account on Instagram. It was a simple post, just stating a fact, but enough to draw a relatively negative response from one follower.
“Our team is burdened by large contracts for old guys,” daily_grinds commented. “Leaving not much room to fill the team with scrubs. This guy is a scrub. Scrubs don’t win anything.”
Glass, 25, saw the comment and decided to take the time to respond.
“Dude give me a chance hahaha,” Glass wrote.

Glass joins the Penguins entering a contract season, looking to get his career back on track after scoring just six goals and seven assists in 41 games during the 2023-24. The Vegas Golden Knights made him the No. 6 pick in the 2017 NHL Draft, so there’s talent there, and if he’s able to provide it to Pittsburgh’s bottom six it would be a huge boost.
It would also be a nice way to prove that “fan” wrong.
