Best Advice: Retire Sid Crosby
Posted on 4 Mar 2012 by Steven Keys.
The signs were there. Though it’d been months since his January ‘11 concussion, Sidney Crosby was still having symptoms that persisted well into summer’s pre-season prep period. An extended recovery, coupled with the brief transition time between the all-go signal and ice play, made me sense the Penguins’ captain was alright but maybe not all right. Understandably eager to return to act...

Posted on 29 Dec 2011 by Jordan DiRisio.
The Devils beat the Sabres with relative ease last night to get back on the winning track. After dropping 2 of 3 the Devils won against Buffalo 3-1 and if not for the strong play of Ryan Miller New Jersey could have scored 5 goals. Brodeur and the defensive was particularly impressive in their own zone and did a great job of minimizing quality scoring chances for the sabres. The Devils got 2 go...

NHL Can’t Afford Crosby Exit
Posted on 8 Sep 2011 by Steven Keys.
Sport is different things to different people. For the student body, game-day is the pinnacle. Jubilation or despair when time expires, you can be sure a shindig or two will top it all off. For the pro fan, game-time means TV gatherings and tailgates. For the gambler and fantasy fanatic, the spectacle is only a numbers game. And for the corporate mind, sport is a supercharged promotion vehicle....

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...

NHL rosters were loaded with rookies during the 2010-11 season, and the trend is expected to continue in 2011-12. As fans start to p...

Eliminated. Pens Lose 1-0
Posted on 28 Apr 2011 by Dustin Keener.
The Pittsburgh Penguins 2010-2011 season has ended. This season should not be looked back at as a failure. I want you to sit back and think about this season. From the rough start, to Fleury's re-emergence as an elite goaltender, to the Winter Classic, to Crosby and Malkin being lost for the season. I would like you to think about the massacre on Long Island, to trading Goligoski for Neal, ...
