The Penguins are desperate. They made sweeping changes to their lineup with a hope that it will make a difference. Let’s hope that it doesn’t. [BSH]
One key thing is that the Fly...
Throughout his 15-year career, defensive lineman Cameron Heyward has been one of the ultimate rocks for a Pittsburgh Steelers franchise that prides itself on consistency in a historical sense. Of course, there are a lot of changes for said franchise coming into the 2026 season. A new head coach in Mike McCarthy, a new offensive […]
The NFL Draft is just over 24 hours away at the time of writing, and the festivities around the city of Pittsburgh have gotten off to a nice start. And while the city is buzzing, its team is still without a definitive answer at quarterback for the 2026 season, as Aaron Rodgers has yet to […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins are desperate and it’s wonderful to see. Ahead of Game 3 against the Philadelphia Flyers, as we head into the Xfinity Mobile Arena feeling better than we ever thought we would after the first two playoff games in six years, Penguins head coach Dan Muse has shuffled his forward lines in an attempt to find an answer.
The Penguins have been dead in the water for two straight games and their coaching staff can sense something needs to change. Too bad it’s not “get bett...
The Philadelphia Flyers are back in the playoffs, and the NHL gave them a primetime slot for their first postseason game since 2020 on Saturday night.
While some complained that there could be better matchups in that slot, the television ratings are in, and Game 1 between the Flyers and Penguins set some new records on ESPN.
According to ESPN , 2.1 million viewers tuned in to watch the Flyers take down the Penguins 3-2 on Saturday night. That was a 173% increase over ESPN’s first-rou...

It looks like the Penguins will be trying some new lines tonight in Game 3 against the Philadelphia Flyers. Here’s how they were working at this morning’s skate. Rickard Rakell moved back from the top line in the middle of Game 2, it looks like the old familiar first line will be back in action […]
Morning, all! Jordan Montgomery is throwing bullpen sessions and is on pace to return to the rotation in July after undergoing Tommy John surgery last year. Cody Bradford, on the other hand, hasn’t thrown in two weeks after experiencing tightness in his surgically repaired elbow. Wyatt Langford left yesterday’s game against the Pirates in the […]

I’ll spare the long introduction. You know what a mock draft is. This is the last one. Let’s do it. Trade The Rams currently hold picks No. 13, 61, and 93 in the first three rounds. After that, they don’t have another pick until No. 207. The Steelers send them third, fourth, and fifth-round picks […]
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins completed a fine regular season with a 46-17-7-2 record (the third and fourth items being OT and SO losses split out). That completed a 101-point season – third best in the entire AHL and gave WBS just their third 100+ point year. Unfortunately for them, the best team in the AHL in […]

Here are your Pens Points for this Wednesday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins’ recent playoff struggles at home continued with back-to-back losses to the Philadelphia Flyers in Games 1 and 2. Pittsburgh’s home-ice playoff struggles run deeper than this series against their cross-state rival, however. Since winning the Stanley Cup in 2016 and 2017, Pittsburgh has […]
The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Pittsburgh Pirates scored one run. Talk about branching paths.

The Philadelphia Flyers are shocking the hockey world with their dominance over the Pittsburgh Penguins through the first two games of their playoff series. Much of this success stems from the result of a successful off-season that had Trevor Zegras, Christian Dvorak, Porter Martone, Dan Vladar, and Rick Tocchet arrive in Philadelphia. The Flyers have…
Entering the 2026 season, the Pittsburgh Pirates starting rotation contained the reigning Cy Young winner, the No. 2 pitching prospect in baseball, and the former franchise leader in strikeouts by a right-handed pitcher. None of the three, or Braxton Ashcraft, have been the Pirates best starting pitcher this year. It’s the guy everyone, including myself, […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have begun their voluntary mini-camp ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, which marks the first time they’ve taken the field in the Mike McCarthy era.

The Penguins haven’t given the home fans at PPG Paints Arena a lot to cheer about over the last several years. With losses to the Flyers in Games and 2 of the team’s playoff series, there’s no guarantee that the fans will get to see another home hockey game in Pittsburgh this season unless the […]

This has been a wildly disappointing return to the playoffs for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Not only are they down 2-0 to the Philadelphia Flyers after Monday night’s 3-0 loss, they have lost both games at home, now have to go on the road, and seem to be the team that is not ready for the […]
