Points of Emphasis: Pens Party Hard in Win

Points of Emphasis: Pens Party Hard in Win

October 30th, 2015 If the game against Washington bought head coach Mike Johnston some time, last night's win against Buffalo did little to solidify his position.  Still, it was a victory where some of the Pens biggest guns started putting up points. After the team got an early lead, they almost squandered it.  It was a mixture of "taking their foot...
Points of Emphasis: Pens' Coach Johnston Survives Big Test

Points of Emphasis: Pens' Coach Johnston Survives Big Test

October 29th, 2015 The Pittsburgh Penguins power play failed to show up once again, this time in their game versus the Washington Captials. During the first period, the Pens had a 5-on-3 power play that resulted in "diddly" immediately followed by a 5-on-4 power play earning them...
Points of Emphasis: Fleury Found The Way

Points of Emphasis: Fleury Found The Way

October 25th, 2015 A dominant 38-save showing by Marc-Andre Fleury and a decent (if untested) Pekka Rinne kept the score tied at the end of regulation. A Phil Kessel goal in the 3-on-3 overtime gave Pens fans reason to celebrate earning the extra point. Here's that game winner: i might've saved this as philthethrill.gif...
Points of Emphasis: Bonino Scores, Pens Lose

Points of Emphasis: Bonino Scores, Pens Lose

October 23rd, 2015 If you're a Pens fan, admit it - you held your breath... https://twitter.com/JoshYohe_PGH/status/657334313298579457 PHEW! Points of Emphasis: Fleury Factor: Marc-Andre Fleury gave up a strange goal mid first period, when a knuckling puck was lost among the background crowd. It was possibly touched by a high stick but that was...
Points of Emphasis: Jagr vs the Pens

Points of Emphasis: Jagr vs the Pens

October 21st, 2015 Last night, the Florida Panthers came to Pittsburgh and brought former Penguin Jaromir Jagr with them.  It was the only time this season that Jagr travels to Pittsburgh for a regulation game, so it very well could have been his last trip to town as a player. Marc-Andre Fleury allowed two goals; one was a beauty from Quinton...
Points of Emphasis: Damage Control

Points of Emphasis: Damage Control

October 18th, 2015 Last night, the Pens welcomed the Toronto Maple Leafs to the Consol Energy Center. Shot numbers were low during the first half of the game, yet the team still carried the lead and finished with a total of 33.  The Pens are now 8-2 in their last 10 games versus the Leafs, and have won six straight in the series. It was the first...
Points of Emphasis: Sprong Scores First NHL Goal; Pens Win

Points of Emphasis: Sprong Scores First NHL Goal; Pens Win

October 16th, 2015 The Pens gained a lead for the first time this season in the 2nd period when Evgeni Malkin scored his first goal. Shortly thereafter, rookie Daniel Sprong scored his first NHL goal to push the Pens lead to two. Here's that Sprong goal: https://twitter.com/myregularface/status/654812887391694849 Regardless of whether he sticks...
Points of Emphasis: Pens vs Habs

Points of Emphasis: Pens vs Habs

October 14th, 2015 Down 3-2 in the final minute, the Pittsburgh Penguins pulled Marc-Andre Fleury. The extra attacker failed, and the Pens fell to the Montreal Canadiens. With that sad news now behind us, let's take a look into one reason why the Pens are still without a win on this young...
