Pens on the Brink of Something Special

Pens on the Brink of Something Special

June 7th, 2016 Doc Emrick will remember this date quite well: October 13, 1960. The last time a professional championship was won within the Pittsburgh city limits by one of its three remaining pro sports teams. Here is a bit of a history lesson before the hockey talk. The Pittsburgh Pipers won the city's last professional championship, the...
Penguins Must Start, Skate Fast Against Sharks

Penguins Must Start, Skate Fast Against Sharks

May 30th, 2016 The Pittsburgh Penguins have a total (including playoffs) of 60 wins this season. The San Jose Sharks, by the same criteria, have 58. Forget it. None of it means anything at this point. First team to four wins... Wins. The Stanley Cup Final begins in earnest tomorrow night at Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh. Despite...

Stars Beginning to Align; Pens Finding Their Stride

May 19th, 2016 Sidney Crosby scored his first career playoff overtime goal in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final on Monday night.

Penguins' Resilience to be Tested in Game 6

Penguins' Resilience to be Tested in Game 6

May 9th, 2016 Since taking over the Pittsburgh Penguins midway through the season, Mike Sullivan has said that there is a lot that he likes about his team. Mainly their resiliency. He has been asked countless times what he thinks is the Penguins' best attribute. After rattling off a few characteristics (speed, talent, etc), he almost always ends...

Penguins Should Ride Defense to Eliminate Capitals

May 7th, 2016 The Pittsburgh Penguins have no desire to play another game at Consol Energy Center. Until Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final. Which would translate to bringing their best effort to date in Game 5 of their conference semifinals matchup with the Washington Capitals later tonight at Verizon Center. Thanks to a dominating...
What the Brooks Orpik Suspension Means to Caps, Pens

What the Brooks Orpik Suspension Means to Caps, Pens

May 2nd, 2016 I thought it was a late hit. It was a target to his head. I think it was the type of hit that everyone from hockey is trying to remove from the game. - Penguins' head coach Mike Sullivan Those were the words of the Penguins' bench boss after Game 2 on Saturday night, referring to the blow to the head doled out by Capitals' defenseman...
Penguins Nix Mistakes, Even Series at 1-1

Penguins Nix Mistakes, Even Series at 1-1

May 1st, 2016 Interestingly enough, Game 2 followed much of the same script as Game 1 did for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Start fast, carry the bulk of the play, and dominate the shot total. Only this time, the push back from the Washington Capitals came in the form of their goaltender, Braden Holtby. While the Penguins utterly dominated play...
Letang's Star Must Shine Brightest Against Capitals

Letang's Star Must Shine Brightest Against Capitals

April 28th, 2016 In 2009, Kris Letang came of age in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Specifically in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Washington Capitals. In Game 3, he scored the overtime winner to get the Penguins back into a series in which they had trailed 2-0 prior. For the series, he would finish with three goals and six points, averaging...
