  The last two Penguin games have been heart stoppers. It seemed that we forgot how to play our style of hockey. I was actually worried about the series simply because we let them take control. Then, out out nowhere, our hero emerged. Was he on the fir...

• Here We Go Pens!

  Posted on Tuesday April 14th, 2009 at 13:12 in NHL, Steelers, Pirates, Penguins, pittsburgh, mlb, predictions, nfl, analysis, Malkin, Playoffs, crosby

  The playoffs are here! This is my favorite time of the year. I even love it more than football playoffs time. I love it more than baseball playoff time as well. I mean seriously, when I watch the NFL playoffs, the teams step it up a notch, and it is ...

• History Lesson...Penguins Style!

  Posted on Friday April 10th, 2009 at 10:30 in NHL, Penguins, pittsburgh, crosby, gonchar

  Since the Penguins began their franchise in 1967, they have entered the postseason 24 times out of a possible 41 seasons (including this year). That is 58% of the time. Taking into consideration that every team rebuilds, restructures, and renews, thi...

• Win, Playoffs, MVP

  A big win tonight, despite some last minute heroics by Tampa Bay, finally clinched a playoff birth for the Pens. With a final score of 6-4, some of the players finally got a monkey or two off their backs. It was also a night to add to Evgeni Malkin's...

• Bad Weekend

  Well, we are down to three games left and still haven't clinched a playoff spot. We had our opportunity and we blew it. We are supposed to be the team to beat. We are supposed to be this powerhouse that lesser teams can't keep up with. We must have f...

• Breaking It Down

  So, I have been watching NHL statistics, like always, and something caught my eye. I looked at a lot of things this time and came to several conclusions...one is that stats don't really matter come playoff time and another is that if a team changes s...

• My Crystal Ball Could Be Right!

  Posted on Tuesday March 24th, 2009 at 10:08 in Penguins, pittsburgh, predictions, analysis, Malkin, ovechkin, crosby

  My Stanley Cup Final preview. You may ask what I am talking about. I will tell you. Way back before the NHL season started, I made some crazy predictions on the playoff atmosphere and all the teams involved. I will tell you that I predicted a Calgary...

• Hockey Lore

  Tonight is a very important game, yet not very important in the whole scheme of things. As I mentioned in a previous post, this is one of the three games for the rest of the season we can afford to lose, only because it is a Western Conference team. ...

• The Pens of Now

  Posted on Saturday October 25th, 2008 at 13:38 in Penguins, pittsburgh, Malkin, crosby, therrian

  I just wanted to talk about the Pens in the past couple games before they take on the first place Rangers tonight. I usually hate how Michel Therrian switched lines up, but I think for now, these combinations are working, and working well. I still th...

  Posted on Thursday October 9th, 2008 at 18:24 in Penguins, pittsburgh, predictions, Malkin, crosby, staal, other topics, lemieux, orpik, therrian, savard

  The Detroit Redwings are the Russians and the Pittsburgh Penguins are the United States hockey team from the 1980 Winter Olympics. The Wings are a very good and very old team and the Penguins are a very good and very young team. The commentators and ...

  Whoooo Hoooo! Finally! I am going to start with the Penguins and then go with my picks for the rest of the league and through the playoffs. I see alot of articles mentioning that the Pens do not have the firepower or talent to get to the same level t...

  So, I saw that the terrible towel made it to Beijing, so I decided to look for other places where the great piece of art ended up. I was amazed by the number of pictures popped up in an easy search, but I was wondering where else it goes. Here is wha...

  Well, it has been a couple days since the groundbreaking ceremony and I have had a chance to gather my thoughts. There a couple of key things that came out of it all that made me really think of what went on to get where we are today. Some political ...
