You had a good feeling going into today’s game. You should’ve. Don’t sweat the caps, man. Penguins were 12-1 out of the last 13 against the Caps, MAF was 6-0, Crosby has, for the most part, outshined Alexander Ovechkin in head to head meetings, and they’re the Caps for crying out loud.

16 Years Later, Beaupre […]

Pens on the rocks!
Ain’t no big surprise
They come out flat
and that’s their demise.
Got everything to lose
We ain’t the Blues
The Devils’re on the rise.
Crosby gave it his heart
gave it his soul.
Malkin was nowhere
this team is not whole.
Fleury was gone
now all I want is a smile.
First the Panthers score
man on a weak rebound.
Suddenly the Pens are down […]

Here at Penguinwire.com, we’ve picked up a new and exciting writer to give us a new perspective on the Penguins and the NHL at large.  I’d like to introduce to you, “Fake Mick Jagger.”
Well, all right! Yeah! Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name. It shouldn’t be hard, it’s in the introduction. This […]

6:08 left in the third period. Tampa Bay sucks balls. Sir Sidney Crosby is back on the ice. It’s 0-0!
What a waste of HD technology. Seriously, I thought this was the “New” NHL.
Yet, here we are, late in the third period, with no goals. It was like this a little over a week ago when […]

Neurotica

The Injury Walrus (goo-goo-ga-joob) struck the Penguins once again on Thursday as Marian Hossa, who was in the process of making his Penguins debut, took a hit knee on knee. He’s out for a week. This sucks for many reasons, but mostly because I have tickets to tomorrow’s game and was looking forward to seeing […]

Old Post, read now

Ok, so we all know what the big news is. Marian Hossa will, for now, wear the logo of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
I could go through all of the normal stuff, but that was already done and done well by the blog below me.
So I’ll say something off the wall. For a woman over 40, Courtney […]

In February of 2004, The Pittsburgh Penguins were mired in what would turn out to be an 18 game losing streak. In fact, at this time, they were about to lose their last game of the streak on Sunday, February 22nd, to the Ottawa Senators 6-3 with J.S. Aubin in net, and Matt Bradley listed […]

Jagr come home!

HSBC Arena, Buffalo. Late afternoon, early evening. The Penguins, having lost two games in a row for the first time since mid-December, needed a win badly.
They got it. Oh, they got it.
But let me tell you this. The team is an offensive machine that I think has a chance to make some serious noise in […]

Bill Clement

Last night, I met former Broad Street Bully, ESPN, NBC, and VS. analyst, Bill Clement. He now works for NHL Radio, and has joined the Philadelphia Flyers television broadcast team. I first noticed him when he walked through the door. Despite his Flyers ties, I always thought Bill Clement was one of the best commentators […]

Don’t look now, Penguins faithful, but those flightless birds are sitting in first place in the Atlantic Division and only three points from Eastern Conference leading Ottawa Senators. The standings are tight, and will be tight for the remainder of the season, but the Penguins are in the thick of it up at the top […]
