Capitals' Nathan Walker Ready for Historic NHL Jump

Capitals' Nathan Walker Ready for Historic NHL Jump

August 16th, 2017 The Washington Capitals will be relying on their youth to step up and fill the voids on the roster, especially as they try to cope with key departures. Not only did they lose a wealth of defensemen, but the Capitals also lost some of their key wingers. Justin Williams and Daniel Winnik left through free agency, but the biggest loss to...
Zach Sill to Have Player Safety Hearing for McQuaid hit

Zach Sill to Have Player Safety Hearing for McQuaid hit

January 6th, 2016 The NHL announced Wednesday that Washington Capitals forward Zach Sill will have a hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety for a boarding infraction against Boston Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid. The hit happened in a game on Tuesday and appeared to briefly leave McQuaid unconscious. He had to be helped from the ice by...
Pittsburgh Penguins Lack Toughness

Pittsburgh Penguins Lack Toughness

September 7th, 2015 On paper, the Pittsburgh Penguins are heading into the 2015-16 as a far superior team to the one that was nearly swept by the New York Rangers. Much of the improvement can be attributed to the usage of advanced analytics. There's a common misconception that because "fancy stats" are still relatively new, they do not provide value, but...
Nova Scotia: Hockey's Biggest Small Town

Nova Scotia: Hockey's Biggest Small Town

September 7th, 2015 The history of ice hockey is defined by small towns and tight-knit communities. This goes doubly in Canada, where the long, cold winters saw youngsters stay warm and make friends the old-fashioned way - by spending their days on frozen ponds, playing hockey. Nova Scotia has a unique place in hockey, both in a present-day and...
Penguins Cannot Afford to Lose Daniel Winnik

Penguins Cannot Afford to Lose Daniel Winnik

June 2nd, 2015 The 30-year old journey man, Daniel Winnik, has played on six different teams and his latest stop has been with the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins traded Zach Sill a 2015 fourth-round pick and a 2016 second-round selection to acquire Winnik at the deadline. In his brief 21 regular season games with the Pens, Winnik was an...
New Penguins Offseason Trade Options - Part 2: Tampa Bay Lightning

New Penguins Offseason Trade Options - Part 2: Tampa Bay Lightning

May 13th, 2015 The Pittsburgh Penguins are fresh off of a disappointing first round playoff exit where their goal scoring, uncharacteristically, dried up. It was later revealed that forward Evgeni Malkin had an ankle injury, David Perron had a rib injury and Patric Hornqvist was playing with a fully broken rib. Add on to that missing four of their top...
Win-Win in Winnik Trade

Win-Win in Winnik Trade

February 26th, 2015 The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded Daniel Winnik to the Pittsburgh Penguins for centerman Zach Sill, a fourth-round pick in 2015 and a second-round pick in 2016. Sill has played in 62 career NHL games, and like Winnik, is also an impending UFA. It's a good deal for Pittsburgh. It's a tremendous deal for Toronto. Winnik himself...
Leafs Trade: Winnik To Pens

Leafs Trade: Winnik To Pens

February 25th, 2015 The Leafs have made another low-profile deal. Daniel Winnik has been traded to the Penguins for Zach Sill, a fourth round pick in 2015, and a second round pick in 2016. Winnik was a quality player for the Leafs, who had a +15 rating – the highest, by far, among all Maple Leafs and had a decent FO win % (48.4%). In Sill, the Leafs,...
Leafs Smash Home Run in Winnik Swap

Leafs Smash Home Run in Winnik Swap

February 25th, 2015 The Leafs have jumped the gun on the trade deadline - which is smart since it makes them worse earlier and allows them to focus on bigger deals leading up to Monday - and traded Daniel Winnik to the Penguins in exchange for a 2016 second-round pick, a 2015 fourth-round  pick, and Zach Sill. The Leafs also retain half of Winnik's salary...
Zach Sill Proving Why He Deserves To Remain in the NHL

Zach Sill Proving Why He Deserves To Remain in the NHL

February 11th, 2015 I'm not entirely sure when Zach Sill became the go-to-guy for why the Penguins are not succeeding as much as they should be.  I'm not sure why so many fans want him benched, traded, released; whatever it may be, but it is absolutely unjustified. View image | gettyimages.com Could it have been during training camp when he beat...
Zach Sill and His Improbable First Goal

Zach Sill and His Improbable First Goal

January 22nd, 2015 Last night against the Chicago Blackhawks, Zach Sill scored his first career NHL goal. He probably won’t score many more throughout his career, and he’s probably OK with that. Sill, 26, has played in 32 games for the Penguins this season, as well as 20 in 2013-14. He became the fourth Pittsburgh Penguin to record his first career...
Penguins Waddle Into All-Star Break After Two Tough Losses

Penguins Waddle Into All-Star Break After Two Tough Losses

January 22nd, 2015 January has not been kind to the Pittsburgh Penguins.  Neither have the past two days.  Heading into two pivotal games with a January record of 3-3-1 and slowly losing positioning as the second seed in the Metropolitan Division, the Penguins failed to gain any momentum heading into the All-Star Break. In fact, they probably lost...

With Pascal Dupuis Out, Who Steps Up For The Penguins?

November 19th, 2014 Pascal Dupuis Out For Six Months It was announced today that Pascal Dupuis would be out of action for a minimum of six months with a blood clot in his lung.  The unfortunate news comes after a dominant showing in Montreal, defeating the Canadiens 4-0 and ending the Habs six-game winning streak.  Dupuis did not make the trip to...
Top 10 Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins Moments of 2013

Top 10 Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins Moments of 2013

December 29th, 2013 The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins accomplished a lot in 2013. They experienced a playoff comeback for the ages, but not before one of their goaltenders broke a team record and they participated in the first outdoor game in franchise history. Furthermore, several talented players got the call to Pittsburgh, and the team started the...
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and St. John's IceCaps Split Weekend Set

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and St. John's IceCaps Split Weekend Set

November 24th, 2013 The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and the St. John’s IceCaps meet four times per season, with each team traveling to the other for back-to-back games. This weekend, the IceCaps took the trip to Wilkes-Barre and started off the series with a 2-1 victory over the Pens on Friday night.    Harry Zolnierczyk scored his eighth goal...
