As I looked over the NHL standing this morning I started to wonder what the odds were that the Penguins could catch the Rangers to win the Atlantic Division. They are behind by 10 points with roughly 25 games to go in the regular season and still have 3 to play against the Rangers. It [...] With the Penguins’ captain out indefinitely with lingering effects from head and neck injuries, the city of Pittsburgh has embraced their other big time hockey star, Evgeni Malkin. In my previous post I made mention of Malkin’s numbers over the past 3 weeks while leading the Penguins to a 8-2-1 record and it has some [...]  I feel like I write one about Malkin being some kind of star, month or week, all the time. I also believe that this comes to no one’s surprise that he received yet another weekly honor. According to the Pens website this is the 6th time this season Malkin has been been honored by [...] Evgeni Malkin has shown glimpses of what he was truly capable of since he was drafted in 2004 but what we are witnessing on the Penguins current run over the last few weeks is nothing short of remarkable. In the last 14 games the Penguin Center put up 15 G, 9 A and a +10 [...] Coach Dan Bylsma said today that Jordan Staal is expected to be back in the line up on tomorrow afternoon when the Penguins take on the Winnipeg Jets. Staal has been out since early January with a knee injury. There has been a lot of rumblings this week that Staal would be returning sooner [...] Penguins finally gave out some info on Tyler Kennedy’s condition. Kennedy left Sunday’s game against the Devils in the third period and did not return. He returned to Pittsburgh to be evaluated and did not travel on to Montreal with the team for the game on Tuesday. Coach Bylsma had an update today: “Tyler [...]  The Penguins lost in an epic shootout last night to the Montreal Canadiens. I did not see all of the game unfortunately so can’t give you a good recap of what happened. However if you didn’t see it either, here is Malkin’s ridiculous shootout goal. He never disappoints.
What concerns you the most amid the Arians debacle? I didn’t want to see Arians go. Roethlisberger lost an OC he was comfortable with. Tomlin has no control of his own coaching staff. Rooney needs to include his head coach and franchise QB in decision making. Nothing. This [...] With the NHL trade deadline just weeks away, there is only one thing you can be sure of –a lot of players will be wearing new uniforms. The NHL trade deadline is always the most active of all the American sports because teams are always looking to add that extra presence to their roster or the upcoming [...] The Penguins were riding high coming out of the All-Star break and rattled off their 8th win in a row before falling to the Leafs 1-0 Wednesday. After a couple road tests Saturday and Sunday against the Bruins and Devils, the Penguins have a chance to make another push in the standings to catch [...]  I must have been totally out of it to miss this earlier this week but Evgeni Malkin was named Second Star of the month of January for the NHL. Last month he was named the Third Star by the NHL. Hopefully for the month of February he’ll be named the First Star. In 12 [...] The Penguins announced today that they have given Forward Joe Vitale a 2 year contract extension through the 2013-2014 hockey season averaging $550,000 a year. Vitale has 10 points in 44 games this season, 3 goals and 7 assists. He also leads the team with a 55.9% face-off win percentage. Vitale was drafted by [...] Sidney Crosby and General Manager Ray Shero met with the media for about 15 minutes today to give a brief update on Crosby’s health. Honestly I’m more confused now than I was earlier today. Over the last couple days there have been reports that Crosby had fractures in his C1-c2 vertebrae. But today after [...] Now that I have my mostly unbiased NHL talk out of the way, I can dive into what we can expect from the Pittsburgh Penguins. Things have improved on the injury front but several key pieces are still on the shelf for an extended period time. Luckily Evgeni Malkin and company have come to [...] |
