Pittsburgh was up to there old tricks in Game 3 as Crosby and Guerin both had goals and assists in their 4-2 win over the Senators at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa. Crosby now has 7 points in the series and is well on his way to a possible Conn Smythe should Pittsburgh advance that far.

Pens look to rebound in Game 2
Posted on 15 Apr 2010 by Amit Mann.
I expressed some concern with the Pittsburgh Penguins heading into the playoffs and in Game 1, they proved my point. Marc-Andre Fleury was not good, giving up 5 goals on 26 and the team defence was abysmal as on two occasions Senators were able to go to the net untouched for goals. Let’s start with the good things from Game 1 and work our way down: Power play The Penguins forwards did a great...

On the injury f...

In the last game of the season against the Islanders, Sidney Crosby collected two goals to tie Steven Stamkos with 51 for the year, making him a co-owner of the Maurice Richard Trophy for the first time in his career. It’s a bitter win for Crosby as Stamkos’...

Pens 0-2 vs. playoff foes
Posted on 24 Mar 2010 by Amit Mann.
The Pens had playoff type games against the Red Wings and Caps this week and unfortunately for them, they came up with the short end of the stick both times. Malkin missed both games because of his ailing foot which made Pittsburgh slim down center and it was exposed against Detroit. Pittsburgh lost 3-1 as Zetterberg collected two goals and an assist while Crosby was stifled by a Detroit team d...

Pens lose once again to the Devils
Posted on 18 Mar 2010 by Amit Mann.
The Penguins five-game road trip has been rocky to say the least. They have lost both games to the Devils and suffered an overtime-loss to Carolina. They picked up a win against Tampa but my main concern is loosing both games to the Devils. Pittsburgh couldn’t pick up a victory against their division foes as New Jersey won the season series 6-0. With the win last night, the Devils took over f...

Posted on 7 Mar 2010 by Amit Mann.
Alexei Ponikarovsky made his debut with the Penguins Saturday and looked solid while doing it. He scored the sixth and final goal in Pittsburgh's 6-3 win over Dallas and assisted on Evgeni Malkin's goal Sunday against Boston. The former Leaf appeared to cut his arm while blocking a shot from a Boston defenceman but despite what Evanka Osmak thinks, he did return to that game. Pony has been able...
