The Penguins entered Monday night for Penguins vs Senators with a six-game winning streak and a 13-2-2 record since Christmas.. That record is now 13-3-2 after arguably their worst performance of the season. The only other performance that might rival it was a 4-0 loss in December, also to the Senators. The Penguins really had...

The Penguins played their worst game of the four-game road trip. Fortunately, they were playing the worst team in the NHL, the Vancouver Canucks, and were able to hold them off to win 3-2. First, shoutout Stuuuuuuuuuu Skinner. What a freaking great performance. The Penguins were not great in this game. Stu stood on is...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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, 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...

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,...

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...

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...

Puck drop is set for 4:12pm eastern, Penguins vs Leafs, the last game before the holiday break. Since we have an early start and readers may be tied up holiday plans tomorrow, I figured I would write this blog in real blog. This is a huge game for both teams, the Leafs are in a...

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...

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...

For the first time in team history, the Penguins went winless in five consecutive home games. They suffered a 6-4 defeat last night to the suddenly resurgent Edmonton Oilers. At least this loss did not include a third period collapse, it also did not include a good effort by the team. For most of the...

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...

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...

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...
