When I was a child, a young Penguins fan, if you would’ve asked me who my favorite player was, I would have probably said Mario Lemieux. The usual follow-up to that answer was that, yes, Mario is everybody’s favorite player, but besides Mario, who is your favorite. Without a doubt, my second choice would always […]

The Pens won 5-0, goals were scored by Crosby, Armstrong, Malone, Staal, and Whitney.  Fleury posted the shutout. Pittsburgh has the week off until the Dallas Stars come to town on Friday.
For the second game in a row the Pens scored five goals, the majority of which have not come form Crosby or Malkin.
Fleury did […]

My last blog was just erased before I could publish it. Here’s the abridged version; Devil’s game, bad, Ottawa game-a terrific double come from behind 6-5 shootout victory. It was clearly the best game of the Penguin’s season and could be the catalyst for a run of inspired play. IT was also the most […]

Remember tonight, Penguins fans. Remember tonight. If the Penguins do turn around their season, tonight will be remembered as the turning point.
The Ottawa Senators, 16-4 through the first quarter of the season, are a well oiled hockey machine. The game was in Ottawa, on Thanksgiving. Given that the Penguins have lost seven out of the […]

I want you inside me is what she said.
I would have liked nothing more than to give her the business, but at this point it almost time for the puck to drop so I hung up my phone and jumped in my car and drove to the local convenience store just down Baum Blvd. to […]

The Pens showed some signs of life Thursday night, beating the Islanders 3-2 in Pittsburgh.  Georges Laraque scored the game winner of a great feed from Sidney Crosby. Petr Sykora, and Sergi Gonchar also scored for Pitssburgh, and Fleury made 26 saves, and added a secondary assist on Gonchar’s goal.  Malkin assisted on Gonchar, and […]

The Penguins are 7-10-1, good enough for 15 points and last place in the Atlantic. The Islanders are coming to town tonight. I feel like I’ve said almost the same thing in my last few posts and in all my hockey conversations in the last week or so, “The Pens can’t lose all […]

Where to begin?
The Pens lose.
The Pens lose.
The Pens lose.
The team is struggling like me trying to have intercourse, just wheezing and sputtering along. Sometimes there are moments of vigor and desperation, sometimes, I, just like the team, seem to give up.
Problems?
The boys are playing soft. Nobody is scoring except for Crosby and Malkin. Colby Armstrong […]

How many power plays do the Pens need to score. there’s 7.1 seconds left and this game has been crap.  It’s amazing the Penguins power play has done as well as it has this season given its lack of a right handed shot. Not even Orpik’s sweet fight could propel the Penguins to victory. This […]

Malkin gets hauled down by Philly goons gets the puck to Crosby who feeds Malone perfectly. oh, man he might have kicked it in, if they disallow this, ok good it counts. Ryan Malone right place at the right time. Period over. Pens have momentum. Still terrible first period luck to be down only 2-1.
