In the last Sunday Standings just after Christmas, the situation wasn’t looking so rosy for the Penguins. A 1-5-4 stretch had completely given up all the early-season work the team did to position themselves near the top of the standings and throw them towards the bottom end of the shuffle. With a mind towards Buffalo’s […]
What a weird season this has been for the Pittsburgh Penguins. It began with low expectations. Then they went 8-2-2 through their first 12 games. That was followed by a stretch where they won just one out of six games that made it seem like the hot start had come to a close. Then they […]

A favorite new year tradition around here, let’s take a look at what Sidney Crosby did in the previous calendar year. It was another remarkable trip around the sun for Crosby on the hockey rink; what else is new, right? We can’t even be surprised at this point and yet it still ends up stunning […]
By the time puck drop rolls around later this evening, your body will be begging for you to sit down and give it a break after a full day, and perhaps even night before, spent celebrating the arrival of the new year. It’s not often the Penguins play on New Years Day, but with the […]

If you are a contending team short on assets, you are not trading two […]

After Dubas got forward Yegor Chinakhov in exchange for a second round pick (that Pittsburgh received as part of the bounty from […]
