McFraudChecked
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...

Kyle Dubas is GM of the Year
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...

Captain Canada: Sidney Crosby is Philadelphia’s Daddy
A tale as old as time, Sidney Crosby and his team shit-stomp the lowly Philadelphia Flyers. Crosby was unsurprisingly the game’s first star, finishing with a goal and an assist in what was a huge four-point divisional game. It was so blatantly obvious that the Penguins would destroy the across state little brother. The Flyers...

Penguins Fall to the Lightning 2-1. Almost Shutout Again
Last night, the Penguins almost went a second straight game without a goal. Instead, Malkin buried his tenth of the year to send the game to OT, then a shootout, and the Pens lost 2-1 to Tampa. It was an extremely entertaining game to attend despite the lack of offense. The Pens played a really...

R-E-L-A-X The Penguins Are Fine
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...

Tate McRae, Ditch the Zero’s and Come Date a 4th Line Hero
Tate McRae, the world’s new Britney Spears, is allegedly dating New Jersey Devils star Jack Hughes. Jack Hughes plays for a miserable hockey team. McRae is familiar with dating hockey players on horrible hockey teams as she was previously linked with Columbus’ Cole Sillinger. Tate McRae is simply too attractive and too famous to associate...

The Pittsburgh Penguins Cannot Stop Winning
Two games, two wins. Two different ways on two different days. The Penguins are becoming a force. The Penguins might deploy the best 4th line in hockey. Sidney Crosby is scoring goals at the second-best rate of entire career; he’s 38 years old. Come Thursday they will be getting another close to 40-year-old player back,...

The Verdict is in, The Pittsburgh Penguins run the NHL
Everyone thought they were toast, but they are still the bread. Three straight years of missing the playoffs. One win during a ten-game stretch in December. Several of the most unbelievable third period collapses you have ever seen during that stretch. Preseason expectations as low as they were the year before Crosby arrived. A rookie...

Dubas Rewards Penguins After Curbstomping the Blackhawks
The Penguins bent over the Bedardless Blackhawks and spanked them so hard you would have thought they were a six-year-old who just cussed out their dad after his seventh Budweiser. Justin Brazeau netted a hattrick, Rust had a pair, Mantha once, and Acciari was an assist shy of a Gordie Howe hattrick. Coming out of...

Should the Penguins trade Rust or Rakell at the deadline?
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...

I Am A Delusional Penguins Fan. Let Me Take You Into My Mind
The eight-game winless streak is over. Two horrid performances against the Canadiens during the winless streak occurred, one coming Saturday night. Entering Sunday night, the Penguins had not won in a shootout despite five games going to said format. The winless streak also had several remarkable third period meltdowns. All of those things were avenged...

Penguins Losing Streak: The “Do Something” Alarm Is Blasting
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...

Penguins Third Period Collapses: What the Hell Was That?
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...

Penguins Vs Canadiens Recap: Letang’s Rough Night
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...

Quinn Hughes Penguins Trade Talk After The 0.1 Second Collapse
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...

Sidney Crosby Owns The Flyers And Their Soft Fans
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...
