Scott Bylsma wasn’t lying, not exactly, back in 2009 when ESPN.com called him about his kid brother. He had spun a good tale about giving Dan a cigar shortly after he was summoned to Pittsburgh to rescue the Penguins when they slipped to 10th place with 25 games remaining.

Dan was five games into his NHL coaching career when Scott showed up for a game in Chicago with stogie in hand, promising to light up together when the Penguins clinched a playoff berth. Pittsburgh closed the season with an 18-3-4 record and climbed to fourth in the Eastern Conference.
