Mario Lemieux: The Triumphant Return from Retirement

Mario Lemieux: The Triumphant Return from Retirement

September 1st, 2017 This article was originally written in December, 2012. In 1997 the National Hockey League lost one of the greatest players to ever play the game early.  Mario Lemieux didn’t pass away during his career, nor did he decide to go out on top.  No, the announcement Super Mario made was for different reasons and will always leave...
Flyers Backcheck: Highlights from the Yo-Yo Year of 2014

Flyers Backcheck: Highlights from the Yo-Yo Year of 2014

January 1st, 2015 If there's anyone happier to see 2015 than myself, it's the Philadelphia Flyers. It's been a bumpy ride for the orange and black, riddled with sluggish starts, an early playoff exit, and a stagnant offseason. But instead of rehashing all the negative, let's ring in the new year with positive thinking. What better way to do that than...
Flyers Roundup: Gordie Umberger, Del Zotto Down & More

Flyers Roundup: Gordie Umberger, Del Zotto Down & More

October 23rd, 2014 No matter the opinion of Craig Berube's Flyers, they certainly keep it interesting. Wednesday's win in Pittsburgh not only deflated the Penguins' early season swagger, but built some confidence in some of their own. Thanks in large part to R.J. Umberger (yes, that R.J. Umberger), the Flyers improved their regular season record at Consol...
Metropolitan Rivals: How The Flyers Stack Up Against The Pens

Metropolitan Rivals: How The Flyers Stack Up Against The Pens

July 13th, 2014 While the youngsters are chipping away towards making a name for themselves in development camp, the Flyers' arid offseason continues with little developments. Other teams throughout the Metropolitan Division, however, have been more active. But does free agent aggressiveness necessarily give a team a leg up on the ice? Here is Part I of...
Home Ice Disadvantage: The Pennsylvania Problem

Home Ice Disadvantage: The Pennsylvania Problem

March 25th, 2014   We oftentimes talk about home ice advantage and how much it can impact a club when coming into their rival team’s barn. Typically, we find that teams have better home records than away. The best example of this would be the first two teams to clinch playoff berths this season – the Boston Bruins are 28-7-3 at home...
5 Reasons Penguins' Fans are Among the Luckiest in the NHL

5 Reasons Penguins' Fans are Among the Luckiest in the NHL

October 25th, 2013 Following last year's disappointing playoff exit, the Penguins found themselves under fire from their passionate fanbase.  To an extent, it makes sense; after all, with great talent comes great expectations.  But if people would have taken a step back from calling for Coach Dan Bylsma's head, the exile of Marc-Andre Fleury or for G.M....
The Pittsburgh Penguins Playoff Potion

The Pittsburgh Penguins Playoff Potion

September 18th, 2013 Let's be a little premature in saying the Pittsburgh Penguins will make the playoffs this year. They better make the playoffs or the CONSOL Energy Center may be overthrown by disgruntled fans. There is too much talent on their roster for anything other than a post-season berth. While many fans still carry a bad taste with them...
Will Mario Lemieux Ever Retire Jaromir Jagr's Jersey?

Will Mario Lemieux Ever Retire Jaromir Jagr's Jersey?

July 29th, 2013 Jaromir Jagr deserves to have his Pittsburgh Penguins' jersey retired. There are too many Penguins' fans who do not respect Jagr enough to agree. Even after all Jagr has accomplished for the franchise, people continue to bash him even though he is the greatest player behind Mario Lemieux to throw on a Penguins' sweater. Keep in...
Will Marc-Andre Fleury Be Playoff Ready?

Will Marc-Andre Fleury Be Playoff Ready?

July 18th, 2013 Will Marc-Andre Fleury be ready to perform in the playoffs in the upcoming season? The pressure will only intensify for the Pittsburgh Penguins' starting net-minder. He has no other choice but to shine. If Fleury fails to meet expectations in the 2013-2014 NHL Playoffs, he will be shipped out of Pittsburgh at season's end with one...
Deja Vu: Pittsburgh Penguins Relive Game 2 Torment

Deja Vu: Pittsburgh Penguins Relive Game 2 Torment

May 4th, 2013 The Pittsburgh Penguins got terrorized in a series last year against the Philadelphia Flyers and the Pens relived that nightmare against the New York Islanders Friday night at the Consol Energy Center. There was lazy back-checking, loose defensive zone coverage, and another two-goal lead blown in yet another playoff game. The Pens...
Will the Ottawa Senators Go Bertuzzi on Matt Cooke?

Will the Ottawa Senators Go Bertuzzi on Matt Cooke?

April 22nd, 2013 Should Matt Cooke play against the Ottawa Senators Monday night at Scotia Bank Place? The Pittsburgh Penguins will be facing off against the Senators for the first time since Cooke accidentally sliced Erik Karlsson's Achilles tendon on February 13th. Following the unfortunate incident in that game, Sens' enforcer Chris Neil made it...
Barry Melrose: My Run-In with the "Silver Fox"

Barry Melrose: My Run-In with the "Silver Fox"

April 13th, 2013 I will begin by saying you will be reading two stories.  It will be up to you to decide which you prefer.  So here goes nothing. Story 1: It was time to head to Market Square to grab a bite to eat.  I've heard time and time again that Primanti Brothers is where you want to go to get a classic Pittsburgh sandwich.  The name has...
Frozen Four Semifinal Recap

Frozen Four Semifinal Recap

April 12th, 2013 Yale stuns UMass-Lowell in overtime: "They gave us a taste of our own medicine." Those were the words used by Joseph Pendenza of the UMass-Lowell Riverhawks. UMass-Lowell came into the tournament 3rd overall in the NCAA rankings.  They've been able to comeback from being down in so many games this season. In this game,...
Does Chris Kunitz Deserve to be Suspended for the Hit on Josh Bailey?

Does Chris Kunitz Deserve to be Suspended for the Hit on Josh Bailey?

March 31st, 2013 The hit Chris Kunitz dished out to New York Islanders' forward Josh Bailey looked to be illegal. After receiving a pass from Pascal Dupuis and throwing a one-timed shot on net, Kunitz launched Bailey flying into the end zone boards. Kunitz's shoulder seemed to make contact square between the "1" and the "2" on the back of Bailey's...
Could Kickstarter Help A Struggling NHL Franchise?

Could Kickstarter Help A Struggling NHL Franchise?

March 22nd, 2013 Last week, the American-based private for-profit company "Kickstarter" made national headlines once again when their site was used to revitalize a once dead "Veronica Mars" movie project. In less than 12 hours, passionate fans of the former television series were able to raise over $2 million to turn what was once a pipe dream into a...
