Latest blog entries from Pittsburgh teams across every league
The Pittsburgh Steelers will be on the clock one week from tonight, and they could go in a flurry of directions with the No. 21 pick. With needs at receiver and interior offensive line, the Steelers will have a large talent pool to choose from. Ahead of the draft, one of those potential selections sent […]
After two years of non-stop trade rumors and stagnant development, the Anaheim Ducks finally made the decision to trade forward Trevor Zegras this past offseason. In exchange for sending Zegras to the Philadelphia Flyers, the Ducks received second-and fourth-round picks as well as veteran forward (and former Pittsburgh Penguins forward) Ryan Poehling. At the time, […]
It’s another playoff series involving the Philadelphia Flyers and the Pittsburgh Penguins. We’re still not sure when it will start. What’s clear is the old boring narrative about the Flyers having goaltending issues when it counts should at least be put on the back burner to start. When “The Great One” mentions Flyers starter Dan Vladar as a possible nominee for the Hart Trophy, you know it’s been a good year for Philadelphia goaltending. A lot can happen in a seven-game series, leading s...
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Anthony Mantha had a career year this campaign, as he set new career highs with 33 goals, 31 assists, and 64 points in 81 games. With numbers like these, the Penguins should be working hard to keep him around. Yet, it would also be understandable if the 31-year-old winger decided to test the free-agent market while his value is at its highest. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could sign Mantha in free agency this summer if he does not sign an extension wi...
The full schedule has been announced for the upcoming playoff series between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers.

The National Hockey League early Friday morning released the complete schedule for the first round Eastern Conference series between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Pittsburgh Penguins. The series gets underway on Saturday evening at Pittsburgh’s PPG Paints Arena beginning at 8:00 p.m. Eastern and will conclude on May 2 if it goes to a seventh and deciding game. If there’s any advantage for the far younger Flyers, it’s that the first three games will be played every other night. Following...
Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning… In an alternate universe, Egor Chinakhov might be wearing blue and white and playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

One of the first group of MLB Power Rankings has been released, and the Pittsburgh Pirates are somewhere we are not used to seeing them: near the top. Sports Illustrated has released their first MLB Power Rankings since right before Opening Day, and your Buccos are sitting pretty in fourth place. Here’s what SI has […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins and general manager Kyle Dubas have decided to part ways with 700-game NHL veteran Matt Dumba . Dumba was acquired in trade with a 2028 2nd-round pick for Vladislav Kolyachonok . The veteran defenseman played 11-games with the Penguins, and spent the majority of his time in the AHL with the WBS Penguins, skating 27 games, and scoring 20 points (6-14). Before he arrived in Penguins, he had become a bit of a journeyman in the NHL, playing for the Dallas Stars...
It felt like neither team wanted to win this afternoon showdown, but eventually the Nats defeated the Pirates 8-7 in extra innings. They secured a series split and head home only one game below .500. This was far from a pretty affair, and there is plenty to nitpick, but a win is a win. For […]
The full schedule for the Penguins’ return to the postseason has yet to be released, but we do know when their series against the Philadelphia Flyers will get underway. The 2026 version of the Battle of Pennsylvania will commence on Saturday night with an 8 pm puck drop at PPG Paints Arena. The Penguins will […]
These Philadelphia Flyers were not guaranteed to make the playoffs, and most would have expected them to miss by a fairly wide margin before this season began. But here they are, just days away from playing Game 1 against the rival Pittsburgh Penguins in what should be a highly entertaining series. But there are still some big questions prior to that all-important first playoff game for this iteration of the Flyers. Because, like we mentioned, they weren’t necessarily supposed to be here....
The NFL Draft is just one week away, and there are several names to watch in terms of who the Pittsburgh Steelers could select. Will they take a wide receiver? Perhaps take a big swing at a quarterback? Or will they go elsewhere? In Mel Kiper’s final mock draft, he has the Steelers strengthening their […]
After the offense got shut out for the first time this season, they boys will look to bounce back and secure a split in Pittsburgh. It has been a long and mostly successful road trip, but getting this win would be a great way to close things out. The Nats are playing some early afternoon […]

For the first time in six years, the Philadelphia Flyers are back in the Stanley Cup playoffs and naturally, the hockey Gods have tasked them with the Pittsburgh Penguins as a first round matchup. With both teams entering the season as relative longshots to qualify for the postseason at all, their matchup represents a golden opportunity for either club to get one over on their Keystone State Rival. At face value, this is a battle of underdogs. The Penguins assembled an island of misfit to...
After a horrible 2025-26 season, the Vancouver Canucks should continue to make changes to their roster during the summer. Nils Hoglander could be a trade candidate to watch from the Canucks, as he has come up in the rumor mill before and could use a change of scenery. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could target Hoglander during the offseason. Pittsburgh Penguins The Penguins have made it clear that they are not afraid to take chances on young players who need fresh start...

It is time to revisit those predictions. Let’s go back to the start of the 2025-26 NHL season and see what […]
With the regular season over for the Pittsburgh Penguins, all there is to do is sit and wait for everyone else to wrap up their schedules, which will be Thursday for a few select teams.

That is included in […]
