    When I wrote my article yesterday comparing this season’s playoff scenario to last spring’s, I detailed some of my concerns. Never dreaming they’d manifest almost verbatim during last night’s sloppy, error-filled 6-4 loss to the Bruins at PPG Paints Arena. If anything, I figured by mentioning our issues I’d eliminate the chance of them happening…kind of like mentioning an opposing goalie’s shutout...2024

  • • Melting Penguins Dissolve in Desert, Bow to Coyotes, 5-2
    Early in his rookie season, October 24, 2006, to be exact, Evgeni Malkin scored an absolutely dazzling goal against New Jersey. One aptly described as “shades of Mario.” Thrusting into the Devils’ zone like a dagger, Geno turned a defenseman to mush, went forehand-to-backhand while turning his entire body around and beat Hall-of-Fame goalie Martin Brodeur like Mike Lange’s rented mule....2024

  • • Penguins Place Ludvig on Long-Term IR
    The Penguins have placed defenseman John Ludvig on long-term injured reserve today with an undisclosed injury. Although this is pure speculation, it’s possible the injury…upper-body in nature…occurred during the rookie’s game-opening scrap with Islanders heavyweight Matt Martin on Sunday night. Although Ludvig’s had his struggles (a team-worst minus-7), the 23-year-old hard rock brings a phy...2024

I do believe that coincidences happen, but it's not because I dressed in a certain order or ate the same foods for each meal that day.

  • • Penguins Training Camp Update: Let’s Hope Pysyk’s Injury Isn’t a Harbinger of Things to Come
    When the Penguins inked defenseman Mark Pysyk to a PTO on August 30, there was genuine hope the 10-year NHL vet might earn a spot on the third pairing. In the process providing solid and seasoned depth behind fellow right-siders Erik Karlsson and Kris Letang. While I hate to be pessimistic, those hopes would appear to be dashed…at least for the foreseeable future. After logging 18:31 of ice time d...2023

    • Fixing The Mess
    The Pittsburgh Penguins have had some pretty incredible defencemen in their franchise history. The likes of Larry Murphy, Paul Coffey, Sergei Zubov, Sergei Gonchar, Kevin Hatcher, Ulf Samuelsson, Marty McSorley, Darius Kasparaitis, and Kris Letang have all been players I've witnessed in the Penguins' black-and-yellow in my time, and it's pretty amazing to think that the franchise has had this many...2023

    I was most pleased when Kris Letang garnered the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy at the NHL awards ceremony last night. Making him the third Penguin to win the award, along with Lowell MacDonald in 1973 and Mario Lemieux in ’93. Not that his co-finalists weren’t deserving, too. Arizona’s star forward, Clayton Keller, recovered from a femur broken in two places to register an 86-point season. Chicag...2023

    A couple of weeks ago I wrote that the one quality I really like about our Penguins is their ability to hang tough when the chips are down. In the wake of last night’s 6-0 drubbing at the hands of the Capitals, a defeat as humbling and it was humiliating, I may need to scratch that accolade. We looked very much like a team that’s succumbed to discouragement and thrown in the towel. Defenseman and ...2024

    Seems like a trick question, doesn’t it? Before you can develop young talent, you need to have young talent to develop. Kind of like the chicken or egg paradox that has baffled scholars for ages.
