Pittsburgh Penguins

The NHL playoffs 2026 are starting to show who actually belongs and who was just along for the ride. The following all took place in the year 1975. Gerald Ford was President of the United States. Jaws was the top movie in the world. Gas was only 53 cents a gallon and the Thrilla in...

On Friday, the Penguins locker room cleanout in Cranberry took place, and outside of Edmonton, I think this was the most interesting cleanout day across the league. Several storylines came out of the player sessions with the media, and we’re going to get into the ones that matter. Ben Kindel’s first season came to a...

It’s been roughly 7 hours since Cam York floated a puck from the blue line and brought the Penguins big three era to what might be its quiet end. That puck floated through the air as if it had eyes. It found its way to Silovs, kissed the post, and went into the net. The...

The Penguins Flyers Game 6 is happening because PPG Paints Arena refused to let this series die. I’ve been in that building for Stanley Cup Finals, Sid’s return from the concussion, and several other huge moments. Monday night was one of the loudest atmospheres I’ve ever experienced in that arena. The Penguins started the first...

The Penguins game 5 is what winning one game at a time looks like. No one expected them to make the playoffs. No one expects them to climb out of a 3-1 hole. It doesn’t matter. The Penguins won their first elimination game of this series on Saturday night and got back to playing their...

The Penguins Flyers series is 0-2 Pittsburgh, and there isn’t time for despair. There isn’t time to dwell. There isn’t time for Letang to find the fountain of youth. There is only time to win two games in Philadelphia. The Penguins are down 2-0. Game two, last night, showed a much better version of the...

In the most predictable move in NHL history, they finally released the schedule for round 1 last night around 1am Eastern Standard Time. Part of that decision was due to the dreadful Pacific Division being undecided until the conclusion of the game’s last night. Nevertheless, the first round is now official, and the matchups are...

The Penguins benched nearly their entire lineup last night and lost to the Blues 7-5. Who cares, though? The playoffs are officially here, and the Penguins will have home ice in round 1. After the weekend, it was revealed that it would indeed be the team from that heroin riddled part of Eastern Pennsylvania, matching...

The Crosby Ovechkin rivalry might be at an end. With the Penguins locked into their playoff spot, they played back-to-back games against Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals, who are fighting for their playoff livelihood. The Penguins played neither game with their full complement of players, each game saw at least five players “out” with injury...

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...

Win and secure your spot. That is what is in front of the Pittsburgh Penguins today. They have put themselves in a spot where they completely control their destiny. From a season that began with expectations of Gavin McKenna to scoring at a franchise historical rate and having home ice in the first round. It...

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...

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...

The Penguins have not won in Carolina since 2018. They’ve played there twice within the last week and that unfortunately hasn’t changed. Now, last night the Penguins had absolutely no business winning the game. They played like complete dogshit for the first two periods. Every defenseman outside of Erik Karlsson was handing the puck to...
