Once again, here we are. I began last year’s end-of-season piece the same way under very similar circumstances – after a wild card loss in which the Pittsburgh Steelers were sent home in blowout fashion. Changes needed to come then – they didn’t. Instead, the Steelers took an “All In” approach for 2025. They gave […]

Joonas Korpisalo just gave the Boston Bruins a reminder of what the best case looks like, stopping all 27 shots in a recent 1-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins for his first shutout of the season. The timing is interesting because Boston has been gauging the market on Korpisalo , and the chatter around the league is that moving him is much harder than simply wanting to. He is 31, has been up and down as Jeremy Swayman’s backup, and the contract baggage is real with two years left ...

While the goaltending did its job over the weekend, allowing only three goals in two games, the offense did not hold up its end of the bargain and it cost the Penguins two winnable contests and saw their six game win streak come to a screeching halt.
