Spider-Man was wrong. Not anyone can wear the mask. Not anyone can wear the C for Canada either. They thought Connor McDavid could wear the C, they all forgot that he turns into an opossum at every single big moment. Game 7 in 2024 no points. Game 6 in 2025 no points. Gold medal game...

Before I start talking about anything else, let me just say that yesterday was one of the greatest days of hockey (from a results standpoint) that I can ever remember. You had Canada down late, won in overtime. Finland scored twice in the final five minutes to send the game in overtime where they ultimately...

The non-Olympians return to practice today. While the trade freeze is still in effect, that doesn’t mean deadline plans are not being put into place. The Penguins, and the rest of the NHL, will only have a few days after the freeze is lifted to construct their teams for the rest of the season. The...

The weekend full of men’s hockey has finally concluded and the bracket for the Olympic Elimination Round has been set. Both Canada and USA finished undefeated, the only two teams to do so, and none of their games were really ever in doubt. The most interesting part of this entire tournament will come on Wednesday...

The two teams seemingly destined to square off in the gold medal game each won their opening game of the Milan Olympics; each team also scored five goals. Before diving into the games, let me just rant for a second. It is absolutely ridiculous that the Olympics does not allow any social media account in...

Tomorrow the men’s Olympic hockey tournament will begin. There are plenty of storylines to discuss; Tom Wilson playing with McDavid, Nylander hurt for Sweden, who starts for Canada, and how will the US perform we will discuss most of these topics throughout this blog. First, I think there is a clear pecking order for these...

Thursday night was the final game before the Olympic break in the NHL. The Penguins had one game remaining on their schedule against the red-hot Buffalo Sabres. Blake Lizotte’s wife went into labor forcing him to miss the game. Then Noel Acciari got sick forcing him out of the lineup. This was no big deal...

A day after the worst performance of the season, the Penguins traveled to Long Island to play one of their biggest games yet. The effort level was significantly better. The overall performance was significantly better than the night before too. Hell, the Penguins thoroughly outplayed the Islanders last night. Yet the Penguins ended up losing...

The Penguins entered Monday night for Penguins vs Senators with a six-game winning streak and a 13-2-2 record since Christmas.. That record is now 13-3-2 after arguably their worst performance of the season. The only other performance that might rival it was a 4-0 loss in December, also to the Senators. The Penguins really had...

The Penguins have won five games in a row, again. They absolutely torched the Blackhawks last night winning by a score of 6-2. The craziest part is, the team looked asleep in the first period. They ended the game outshooting the Hawks 44-20 despite being outshot 9-8 in the first period. The rest of the...

The NHL is 37 days away from the official trade deadline. However, there are only seven days until the Olympic roster freeze, which may also act as a secondary trade deadline. The Penguins have shifted perspective on their team. Before the season, the Penguins were thought to be the only true seller in the league....

The Penguins played their worst game of the four-game road trip. Fortunately, they were playing the worst team in the NHL, the Vancouver Canucks, and were able to hold them off to win 3-2. First, shoutout Stuuuuuuuuuu Skinner. What a freaking great performance. The Penguins were not great in this game. Stu stood on is...

I am in a dangerous situation. I have spoken about the Pens being back. However, I think they are more than back… they can go on a run. No one, except Colorado, scares me. I think all of America, and Canada, would have predicated a 6-2 win last night in Oilers vs. Penguins. Those that...

The Penguins are currently 2-0 on their western Canada trip, beating the dilapidated Calgary Flames last night 4-1. This team is special because of Kyle Dubas. Doesn’t matter who’s in the lineup, they find a way. Kris Letang caught the injury bug and missed last night’s action, so too did Erik Karlsson. The team’s top...

The Seattle Kraken were shockingly in a playoff position Monday afternoon. Their -11-goal differential became a -14 differential after they matched up with Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Kraken try to lull their opponents to sleep by forcing their opponents to the outside, and downlow, and try to capitalize on mistakes. That’s a...

A tale as old as time, Sidney Crosby and his team shit-stomp the lowly Philadelphia Flyers. Crosby was unsurprisingly the game’s first star, finishing with a goal and an assist in what was a huge four-point divisional game. It was so blatantly obvious that the Penguins would destroy the across state little brother. The Flyers...

Last night, the Penguins almost went a second straight game without a goal. Instead, Malkin buried his tenth of the year to send the game to OT, then a shootout, and the Pens lost 2-1 to Tampa. It was an extremely entertaining game to attend despite the lack of offense. The Pens played a really...

In the words on Aaron Rodgers, relax. After a six-game winning streak, the Penguins dropped two straight only scoring one total goal over the weekend. I am not even a little bit worried about the two-game slide. Sure, it would have been nice to get four points against two teams that likely won’t qualify for...
