Pittsburgh Penguins Summer Playbook
Posted on 30 Jun 2011 by Corey Krakower.
The Pittsburgh Penguins had a shockingly good season despite losing Sidney Crosby to a concussion and Evgeni Malkin to injury as well, and so don’t expect GM Ray Shero to absolutely dismantle his team this offseason. The biggest additions to this team will be (hopefully) the return of their 2 superstars in top form. The Penguins are set in goal with “Flower in the cage” and quality backup...

Penned In
Posted on 16 Mar 2011 by Mika Oehling.
The Pittsburgh Penguins showed that even without their star players Crosby and Malkin, they are still in a class of their own as they outdid Ottawa in just about every way in last night's game. The Senators were literally penned in when it came to their own zone, getting very few good scoring chances, as proven by their feeble shots on goals. They were outworked, outskated and generally outclas...

The Weakest Link – assessing who Montreal can beat in the playoffs
Posted on 16 Mar 2010 by Corey Krakower.
With a 6-1 record since the Olympic break, Montreal is rolling at the right time. Their scorers are scoring, their grinders are grinding, their defensemen are defending and their goalie is stopping the puck. The concern most people have right now with the Habs is their powerplay but with Cammalleri and Bergeron returning in the next 7-10 days, which should provide an immediate spark. Perhaps it...

Posted on 22 Jan 2010 by Kevin Freiheit.
An Interesting Look at Who Has the Hat-Tricks This Season We are more than halfway through the 2009-2010 season, and there are many teams that have surprised fans.

All Done But the Crying!
Posted on 12 Jun 2009 by Ian Altenbaugh.
Win or lose, this is the last hockey game of the season. Five things I would have rather done than watched Game Five: 1. Visit the proctologist or urologist for an unnecessary surgery. 2. Get further in touch with my feminine side. 3. Forgive my old college roommate for the misery he put me through. 4. Open a Twitter account. 5. Attend a Furries Convention. Spoiled? Pittsburghers are abso...

In this installment of Around the Atlantic we look at game one from the Flyers/Penguins first round match. We also look at what the Flyers will have to do if they want this to go beyond four games. Here is a real-time blog I kept while watching the game: - All this cross-ice passing the Flyers are doing five minutes into the first will come back to bite them. - 5:04 into the first period ...

With the Champagne just drying up from Brodeur's record setting 552 win and a trip to Carolina, Martin Brodeur returns home to take on the Minnesota Wild in Shutout fashion. The Celebrating had just ended from Martin Brodeur's Historical Night in Newark. The Devils were forced to go to Raleigh to take on the hungry and rested Carolina Hurricaines and were beaten. So they returned home...
