Pittsburgh Penguins

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

The owner and operator of this wonderful website is a relatively smart guy. His most recent blog for the most part articulated why he is smart. Steelers and Pirates are poop. They stink, they are hopeless, and honestly the way those franchises are being ran is disrespectful to the patrons of my favorite city on...

The Penguins finished without a win this weekend, losing in a shootout on Saturday and blowing a 2-1 third period lead to LA on Sunday. All in all, I really don’t think it’s as bad as a winless weekend would suggest. I will go over some overarching themes in my thoughts below. I will wrap...

The Pittsburgh Penguins win again. Erik Karlsson looked Norris caliber. Evgeni Malkin is tied for the league lead in assists. Sidney Crosby is leading the league in goals. The power-play is nearly automatic. The penalty kills ferocious. The team is receiving goaltending. When they’re on their game they are suffocating and use their offense to...

Listen, we just got some breaking news at Penguins practice about Ben Kindel. I have no idea if I can update this blog with my thoughts from tomorrow’s matchup against the Washington Capitals, but if I can, I will, if not look for a separate blog detailing how this blogs title forward fared. In the...

Hello Hail Mary Media, I am Erbie Brooks, and I will be bringing you some weekly insight into the NHL and specifically the Pittsburgh Penguins. While I will talk all things NHL, you will never catch me drooling over Connor McDavid on this site. Sure, as an individual he may be a top five talent,...

Connor McDavid is the best hockey player on the planet and Edmonton is wasting him. This isn’t about highlights or point totals, this is about prime years slipping away. He’s putting up numbers that would make most of the league blush. Over a thousand career points, multiple Art Ross trophies, multiple Hart trophies, Conn Smythe-level...
