Well folks the Penguins’ losing streak is now seven straight games. Evgeni Malkin has not played in any of those loses. Silovs has only won one game in his last eleven starts. Sid’s line doesn’t look like Sid’s line. Letang is going to play until he’s 90 years old, and unfortunately, he doesn’t seem like...

I can already hear it. “A Steelers home playoff game is awesome.” “Be happy they won the North.” “Be happy they made the playoffs.” “Anything can happen in January.” Cool. I’m not doing that. If the Steelers host a playoff game, that’s nice. That’s progress. That’s better than traveling. That’s the kind of thing some...

For the first time in team history, the Penguins went winless in five consecutive home games. They suffered a 6-4 defeat last night to the suddenly resurgent Edmonton Oilers. At least this loss did not include a third period collapse, it also did not include a good effort by the team. For most of the...

Quick question. If you lose the wrong guy in December, are you still the “better team,” or are you just the next team getting shoveled into the same grave every season gets eventually? Because sometimes the NFL isn’t about who’s the best team. It’s about who gets lucky and avoids the injury bug. That’s it....

Much like the players and coaches, I am at a loss for words. We need to talk about the Penguins third period collapses. In the last week, the Penguins have played five games. They held a 3rd period lead in four of those games. They held a multiple goal 3rd period lead in three of...

A major car accident took place on I-279 yesterday as a tractor-trailer rolled over and blocked traffic for hours. This caused the Penguins’ home game against the Canadiens to be delayed for 30 minutes; Penguins players were reportedly running into the locker-room an hour before puck drop. Hockey players are extreme creatures of habit, and...

Michigan fires Sherrone Moore and he ends up in county jail a few hours later, and we are really going to do the “one bad apple” routine? Come on. This is not just about one coach making awful decisions. This is about a blueblood program that will tolerate anything as long as the wins are...

Not everyone will find what transpired to be as funny as I did. Granted, if the season weren’t going as well as it is I too would have lost my mind over the result of the game. Plus we did get some Quinn Hughes Penguins trade talk as well. The Penguins, at home, leading 3-2...

Like clockwork, it’s that time of year again where we have the seemingly age old debate: Should the Steelers fire Mike Tomlin? In years past I have always erred on the side of keeping Tomlin, maybe mainly to troll my yinzer friends but at the end of the day I thought he was still a...

This is about an era losing its supernatural powers in front of everyone. Chiefs vs Texans. For years, Chiefs fans talked like the league was a scripted show and Kansas City was the lead character. And honestly, they had receipts. Three Super Bowl parades. Multiple AFC title games at home. A divisional round comeback against...

The Penguins concluded one of their toughest road trips of the season last night with a 3-2 shootout loss to the Dallas Stars. Continuing the Penguins’ shootout struggles. The Pens were up 2-1 late in the third when Conor Dewar, who scored earlier in the game, iced the puck allowing for the Stars to pull...

At some point, every legend has “the game” where everyone silently looks around and goes, “Uh oh… I think it is time.” For Al Michaels, that might have been Cowboys vs Lions on Thursday Night Football. Late in the fourth quarter of Amazon’s Cowboys Lions broadcast, 81 year old Al Michaels got caught in a...

The heating up Pittsburgh Penguins faced off against the red-hot Tampa Bay Lightning last night. Here is your Penguins vs Lightning recap. The score was 1-0 Penguins after the first period via Ville Koivunen’s first NHL goal. The first period also included Boko Imama getting his first fight of the season thrashing Curis Douglas. The...

In short, absolutely fucking not. Sidney Crosby owns them. The more they boo, the more he says they sucks, the more he will just shove it right up their hoop. For 20 years those scumbag fans have chanted that he sucks, and he responds by outright torching their loser franchise. 59 goals, 78 assists, 137...

Every winter, MLB teams start talking spicy. “We’re going to be aggressive.”“We have the resources.”“We know we have to do more.” If you are a Pirates fan, you have heard this monologue on loop. President Travis Williams says Bob Nutting has opened the wallet. Ben Cherington keeps dropping “aggressive offseason” buzzwords. Agents hear that Pittsburgh...

Tonight, the Penguins will face off with a team that has not won a championship since 1975. Anyone under the age of 50 years old has never seen those scumbags hoist Lord Stanley and for that we are truly blessed. Before we dive into tonight’s game and possible Penguins lineup changes let’s discuss another loser...

Steve Sarkisian walked off the field on Friday night selling his team like it was a late night infomercial. Texas had just handed previously undefeated No. 3 Texas A&M a 27-17 beating, finished 9-3, and stacked up three wins over top-10 teams. Arch Manning is on TV saying they’re “absolutely” a playoff team. Sark is...

Right before the puck dropped on Thanksgiving Eve, a tweet sent shockwaves through every fan in Pittsburgh that remembers when Tristan Jarry passed the puck to the opposing team in a double overtime playoff game. This is a logical choice for Edmonton, mainly because the GM for the Oil is very dumb. Goaltending in the...
