Making Sense of the Penguins Goaltending Situation

Making Sense of the Penguins Goaltending Situation

May 15th, 2013 First things first, I want to make it absolutely clear that I am not here to maliciously heap scorn on Marc-Andre Fleury. Despite my opinion of his ability, I truly want Fleury to do well, and I always have. For a Penguin fan like myself, Fleury doing well is a good thing because it that means the Penguins will benefit (see how that...
Talent Alone Not Enough for Pittsburgh Penguins to Win

Talent Alone Not Enough for Pittsburgh Penguins to Win

May 7th, 2013 If you'd have told me two weeks ago that the Pittsburgh Penguins would be lucky to have a 2-1 series lead over the New York Islanders going into Tuesday's game, I'd have suggested you need a trip to the quiet room to get your head checked out. But here we are. The problem isn't that they lost a game to an inferior opponent....
Pascal Dupuis Is Gonna Get PAID

Pascal Dupuis Is Gonna Get PAID

April 26th, 2013 A while back I speculated that Pascal Dupuis could be moved at the deadline to help fill some gaps in the Penguins lineup. Little did I know at the time that Ray Shero would be able to run roughshod over the league and practically turn the Pens into an Olympic team without sacrificing a single roster player. My mistake, and lesson...
Dissecting the Pittsburgh Penguins Potential Playoff Matchups

Dissecting the Pittsburgh Penguins Potential Playoff Matchups

April 18th, 2013 With only a handful of games remaining in the regular season, the Pittsburgh Penguins pretty much have the first seed in the Eastern Conference locked up. And while it's important for the team to maintain focus and stay sharp going into the playoffs, it's not too early for those of us on the outside to start looking ahead a...
Pittsburgh Penguins Blessed With Good Injury Luck

Pittsburgh Penguins Blessed With Good Injury Luck

April 9th, 2013 It seems like every time we turn around these days, another Pittsburgh Penguins superstar is down with an injury. Just as Evgeni Malkin came back from his "upper body injury" (totally not another concussion, you guys, seriously), Sidney Crosby took a puck to the mouth and shattered his jaw. Now the team announced that James Neal has...
Retire the Penguins Blue Jerseys of Doom!

Retire the Penguins Blue Jerseys of Doom!

April 2nd, 2013 Everyone knows that hockey players are a notoriously superstitious bunch, and the Penguins are no exception. Just look at Sidney Crosby's filthy sweat-stained hat or the way Marc Andre Fleury talks to the goal posts. And god forbid anyone step on the logo in the locker room. But despite these idiosyncrasies, one horrible omen is...
Brenden Morrow: Bill Guerin 2.0?

Brenden Morrow: Bill Guerin 2.0?

March 26th, 2013 Brenden Morrow may possibly be too old, washed-up and slow to play in the Penguins system. But he may also be exactly what they need to win another Stanley Cup. Remember, it wasn't too long ago that people were saying the same things about Bill Guerin - and we all remember how that turned out. When Bill Guerin joined the team...
Doubting Tomas Vokoun: Penguins' Goaltending Woes Explained

Doubting Tomas Vokoun: Penguins' Goaltending Woes Explained

March 7th, 2013 While I stand by my assertion that Marc-Andre Fleury isn't an elite goaltender (his .913 even strength save percentage is 44th overall in the NHL), after almost half the season it's become pretty obvious that he should not be benched, at least not for Tomas Vokoun. Yes, I'm mature enough to admit I was wrong. The two...
