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...

Six months ago, every single fan of the flightless birds would have been jumping up and down to have an extremely meaningful game on March 30th. Fast forward to that very date and Penguins fans are more puckered up than a child trying their first warhead. Huge is not nearly meaningful enough to describe the...

Every single game feel like must-wins right now. Doubly so if the teams around you in the standings are winning. Even more so when you’re playing a team that’s in the race with you. The Penguins were given the opportunity to kick a team down a peg last night when they traveled to Ottawa. It...

Its time for the Penguins to make the call to Murashov. In 2016, the Penguins had a number 81 on their third line. They had a couple of kids playing throughout the lineup. Sid and Geno were steering the ship. They also had a rookie goalie whose last name started with an M come in,...

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...

Sidney Crosby is injured and might not return until next week. Evgeni Malkin definitely won’t return until next week due to an incredibly stupid suspension. Hope for making the playoffs was dwindling. Everything seemed relatively bleak, with the exception of Crosby taking practice on Friday. Dubas acquired a large man but didn’t acquire any big...

The Penguins finally returned to action last night and picked up a much-needed win without captain Sidney Crosby. The Penguins dispatched the Devils by a score of 4-1. Jack Hughes was on the ice for this game and received quite the applause for his golden goal against the Canadiens this past Sunday. Unfortunately for Jack,...

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 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...
