What a weekend. Holy shit. A combined 14 goals were scored by the Pittsburgh Penguins against the reigning back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions. Those 14 goals put the Penguins in 2nd for goals scored in the entire league. That seems shocking to most, but I called this after watching training camp in person. I said on...

Twenty years together with the Penguins. Crosby, Malkin and Letang. Two of those guys are out of the lineup and the team misses their impacts. The other is fully healthy but the team might be better off if he swapped places with Geno. Kris Letang has been pretty terrible for a majority of the season....

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 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...

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...

During the summer the Penguins were rumored to be the only seller in the entire NHL. The Sharks, Blackhawks, and Predators were all believed to be buyers for various reasons, but the Penguins were believed to be the only team that wanted to strip it all down. Turns out, the Penguins didn’t really strip the...

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...

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...

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...
