Predicting Penguins Free Agency

Predicting Penguins Free Agency

July 1st, 2017 What do Nick Bonino, Trevor Daley, Chris Kunitz, Matt Cullen and Ron Hainsey all have in common? They're likely to leave behind significant holes in the Pittsburgh Penguins' lineup when they depart for new teams when free agency begins in less than 24 hours. Restricted Free Agents Retained The Penguins' front office has had its hands...
Troubling Trends for the Penguins

Troubling Trends for the Penguins

May 8th, 2017 Disturbing trends are a new concern for suddenly reeling Pittsburgh Penguins. Injuries While the injury trend isn't exactly an acute onset, the Penguins aren't trending in the right direction when it comes to health. Outside of  Sidney Crosby's recent concussion, Conor Sheary succumbed to a similar injury in a friendly fire accident....
Penguins' Suddenly Aged Blue Line

Penguins' Suddenly Aged Blue Line

March 12th, 2017 Earlier, I expressed some concern regarding who the Pittsburgh Penguins might have been targeting at the trade deadline. Many have lauded the acquisitions of Mark Streit and Ron Hainsey, and until now they've played well enough. But could that come to an abrupt end? Blue Line Suddenly Aging Prior to Streit (age 39) and Hainsey (age...
Names the Penguins Should Avoid at the Deadline

Names the Penguins Should Avoid at the Deadline

February 28th, 2017 I want to preface this by saying that while I don't entertain speculation or unfounded rumors, I do enjoy reports from reputable sources. Please check out these links for our deadline rumor tracker and our trade tracker for detailed trade reporting. Now, when the time comes to pull the trigger on a deal on deadline day, here are a...
Sid of 1,000 - Master Crosby

Sid of 1,000 - Master Crosby

February 17th, 2017 Sidney Crosby's latest in a long line of achievements victimized the Winnipeg Jets last night. Facing away from the net and fighting through the left wing, Crosby relentlessly shrugged off a hounding Blake Wheeler. Gaining the puck, he immediately fed a pass into the slot where Chris Kunitz one-timed a shot past goaltender Connor...
Guentzel Key to Penguins Trades

Guentzel Key to Penguins Trades

February 9th, 2017 Jake Guentzel has risen pretty quickly through the ranks within the Pittsburgh Penguins organization. He's talented, for sure, but is he ready for prime time? Determining the answer to that question is going to be a driver for not only his role in the short-term but also how general manager Jim Rutherford might behave on deadline day. A...
Crosby Marching to 1,000

Crosby Marching to 1,000

February 9th, 2017 Just over 10 years in the NHL — 998 points in 753 games. For anyone unfamiliar with Sidney Crosby's work during his time as a Pittsburgh Penguin, those stats alone should be enough to impress. And did I mention that he'll turn 30 years old this year? He's come quite a ways, and he's got much, much more in store... Happening Quicker...
Hey, Pens - Don't Win the Metro

Hey, Pens - Don't Win the Metro

January 31st, 2017 Growing up, my father used to tell me: "Don't kill yourself tryin' to make a living." I suppose I could draw parallels between that quote and the Metropolitan Division. The Best Division in Hockey Right now, there's no denying that the Metropolitan Division houses a multitude of the NHL's top teams. From the surprising Columbus Blue...
