Pittsburgh PenguinsThe Ottawa Senators weren’t projected to go this far in the playoffs, let alone make the playoffs after they learned they would be without Jason Spezza for the regular season. Daniel Alfredsson is getting older, what about Anderson in net, look at their blueline with only Chris Philips and Erik Karlsson leading the charge, yadda, ...
In an era consumed with Facebook, Twitter and hoards of media anxious to be the first to report, well, just about anything, it’s easy to get caught up in the moment and blow things out of proportion. Case in point, the Pittsburgh Penguins’ last minute collapse against the Ottawa Senators on Sunday night. After all, the Pens were 29 seconds ...
It’s a trend that is becoming far too familiar to Penguins’ fans in these Stanley Cup Playoffs: A bone-headed play, a mental lapse, a brain cramp, or pure laziness leading to arguably the most talented team in these playoffs losing a game that they should win. And last night at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa was ...
Despite some visible issues, the Pittsburgh Penguins may be primed for a Stanley Cup run thanks to their special teams.
Staying out of the penalty box will be paramount in Ottawa coach Paul Maclean’s game plan for Game Two on Friday night in Pittsburgh. The Penguins were 2-4 with the man advantage, which helped them inch, ever so slowly, to another series victory. Oh yeah, something else Paul Maclean might want to address is how ...

Despite Minnesota’s starter Niklas Backstrom going down with injury in the Game 1 warm-ups, Josh Harding filled in valiantly forcing overtime in ...
Which Canadiens Team Will Show Up For Game Three? With the first round series between the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators set to resume tonight at Scotiabank Place, Habs fans are hoping to the Canadiens from game two rather that the team that fell apart in game one following Eric Gryba’s crushing blow to ...
It’s not the fact that a player was hit. It’s not the fact that Raphael Diaz fed Lars Eller a pass that led to the hit. It’s the fact that there was nothing wrong with the hit Gryba delivered with disastrous results to Lars Eller. You can throw around phrases like “suicide pass”, “no respect”, ...
Lars Eller goes down as Canadiens lose first game of opening round series against Ottawa Senators Hockey. It’s a rough sport. Things happen. Things happen at a fast pace. Very fast. Now fast-forward (or is it rewind?) to last night’s tilt in Montreal where the Habs faced off against the Ottawa Senators in Game 1 ...
