Both the Penguins and their farm team, the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Penguins are having success in their respective playoff runs. The Penguins are up 3-0 in the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The Baby Penguins recently advanced to the East Division Finals, where they will face the Philadelphia Phantoms. Unfortunately, the Baby Penguins decorum of the ice isn’t as respectable as what they have done on the ice. Captain Nathan Smith (pictured) and center Ryan Stone were both arrested Sunday morning after Smith decided to pull a Frank Ricard from “Old School” and streak naked down a street in downtown Scranton. Smith was charged with indecent exposure, open lewdness and disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. Stone was charged with public drunkenness, his second arrest of the season, the first coming on the same charge. Whether the Wilkes-Barre Penguins are becoming the AHL’s Cincinnatti Bengals may be a stretch at this point. But, nonetheless, the coaches may want to seriously address the issue, considering it concerns their team captain. So much for setting a good example.
