Pittsburgh Penguins Missing Parts on Defense
July 31st, 2014 The Pittsburgh Penguins are still missing major parts on defense. With Brooks Orpik and Matt Niskanen signing contracts with the Washington Capitals, the Penguins have to replace a plus-minus rating of +33 (Niskanen) and 221 hits (Orpik).

This one we're going to remember and take with us. I think we have to relish that opportunity to play in games like this in Game 7." The...
Sidney Crosby Goal Drought Beneficial to Penguins
May 5th, 2014 Sidney Crosby has now gone 13 consecutive playoff games without scoring a goal. Anyone who's had the chance has asked Crosby when he's going to score again. But Crosby's goal drought has done a huge favor for the Pittsburgh Penguins. He's taking all of the pressure off of his teammates. All eyes are focused on Crosby, and...
