Sidney Crosby

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...

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...

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...

When the air downtown felt electric, fireworks blew over the Allegheny, and black and gold wasn’t just a color. It was a damn identity. You could feel it in your chest. The Super Bowl was expected. The Cup was realistic. The city moved different. 2009, 2016, 2017. We were alive. That’s gone. Long gone. Now...

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...
