What an absolutely perfect video from the Penguins PR staff last night. Moments after the Penguins defeated the New Jersey Devils by a score of 5-2 the Penguins put out this video: All year the team has been asked about the script that was seemingly pre-written about them. Every period of sustained success early in...

On Monday and Tuesday, the Penguins in the thick of a playoff run had two huge games against teams in the thick of the race with them. The Penguins rifled in a total of 13 goals and largely dominated both the Islanders and Red Wings. Dubas had his hands all over the blueprint of those...

A set of back-to-backs and in a great position to solidify a playoff opportunity was largely squandered by Pittsburgh this weekend. On the surface, the Penguins did fine to get 2 of 4 points and losing against a fresh Carolina isn’t too worrisome. However, the Penguins overall play is beginning to become startling. The Penguins...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Dan Muse and the Penguins came away from the weekend with two loses and only one point in the standings, but my biggest takeaway is that I am very happy with the new man behind the bench. Friday night was one of the worst hockey games I have ever attended. Sidney Crosby looked like he...

The Penguins tripped on Friday but responding with a stomping of the Nashville Predators on Sunday morning. Friday afternoon the Penguins came out with one of their least sharp performances of the season. Passes were not connecting crisply, offense was non-existent, and the defense was haphazard. Still, the Penguins were up 1-0 with about a...
