Last night started out much the same as the past three games, penalties, soft goals and a crazy period. The Flyers continue to be strong on the Power Play going 3 for 5. But last night on 8 power plays the Penguins had they scored on 4 of them and gave up no [...]

After the mayhem that was game 3 the Penguins will be without 3 forwards tonight for a critical game 4. James Neal will be suspended for one game after two consecutive hits he placed on Flyers players in the third period on Sunday. Craig Adams will be suspended also for one game for instigating [...] I honestly don’t know the team that I saw on the ice yesterday. They stooped to the level of the Flyers and made the Flyers look like angels. Don’t get me wrong the Flyers are far from angels but the Penguins were just awful yesterday. What Aaron Asham did to Braydon Schenn [...] Basic Intel Nickname: Flyer Location: Philadelphia, PA Division: Atlantic Record and Rankings Record: 47-26-9 (103 pts) Goals per Game: 3.2 (2nd overall) Goals Against: 2.7 (20th overall) Power Play Percentage: 19.7% (6th overall) Penalty Kill Percentage: 81.8% (17th overall) Team Report Offensive focus: Scott Hartnell – 37 Goals Playmaker: Claude Giroux- 65 assists Goalie: Ilya Bryzgalov - .909 Save percentage Summary This series [...] For someone that has only played in 22 games this season he has received two of these awards. During his first comeback in December he was named the ‘First Star’ of the Week. This time around he received the ‘Third Star’ after getting 6 points (3 goals, 3 assists) in the final [...]  As most of the BB&G crew was out and about this weekend unable to post about the fantastic sports weekend we had, I thought I would do a quick review. Pirates: Even though the Pirates lost the home opener to Philadelphia on Thursday, 1-0 they bounced back in spectacular fashion. They took [...] The Penguins announced today that James Neal, Steve Sullivan and Matt Niskanen won’t be playing due to injuries against the Rangers tonight. All three are expected to be ready for the playoffs. Per #Pens Coach Dan Bylsma: Niskanen upper-body, Neal lower-body, Sullivan lower-body injuries. All will be ready for playoffs, not tonight — Pittsburgh [...] The aftermath of the fight between the Flyers and the Penguins is almost worse than the actual fight. There has been constant talk from both sides since Sunday, and even some people not involved with the organizations. Let’s review and then we’ll get to the new stuff from today. First there was the fight [...]  Yesterday’s game with the Flyers was just crazy. Not only did they own us after we opened up a 2-0 lead in the first period but things got out of control with about a minute left in the game. I mean it was an all out brawl on the ice, even the coaches got [...] EA Sports is allowing the fans to choose who graces the cover of the NHL 13 cover this year. They have narrowed it down to 60 finalists, two from each team. For the Penguins you can choose between Marc-Andre Fleury and Evgeni Malkin. Both have been great this year. Fleury has beat his personal [...] When they lost on Tuesday, I thought oh well maybe they were feeling cocky and one got away from them, better to happen now than in the playoffs. But after last night do we need to worry? I still don’t think so. If we were going to drop a few games, I [...] This is becoming repetitive news, but Evgeni Malkin did it again he was named the NHL’s First Star of the Week. This is only the second time this season that he’s been named First Star, he’s been a Second once and Third Star twice. In the last week Malkin has added 5 [...] The March of the Penguins continued Tuesday Night as the Pens put a thumping on the outgunned Winnipeg Jets by a score of 8-4. The game was played at a frantic pace as both teams seemed to abandon any thoughts of playing defense. The action was continuous as both teams saw countless scoring chances, [...]  This is absolutely amazing. The Capitals played the Jets last night in Winnipeg and lost 3-2. With a few minutes left in the game the fans started a pretty solid ‘Crosby’s better’ chant, no doubt aimed for Alex Ovechkin. Pretty funny and amazing for another team’s fans to chant something like this. Check it [...]  I’m going to have to go to the thesaurus to find more words for dominate, punish, beat, destroy etc because that’s what the Penguins have been doing to their opponents lately and I’m starting to feel repetitive. It doesn’t hurt that a couple more of our big guns returned to the lineup last night [...] |
