• Penguins Free-Agent Update: Dubas Turns ‘Em Loose
The Penguins made decisions on their pending UFAs and RFAs ahead of the start of free agency. With the exception of forward Vasily Ponomarev, who’s slated to play in the KHL this season, Kyle Dubas didn’t extend qualifying offers to any of our pending RFAs despite being in contact with the agents of Connor Dewar (pictured) and Philip Tomasino. I’m disappointed that we didn’t qualify Dewar, a gritt...2025

• Panthers Crush Oilers, Go Back-to-Back
When then-Penguins GM Jim Rutherford acquired versatile forward Evan Rodrigues from the Sabres in February 2020, fellow PPer Caleb DiNatale was thrilled. While Other Rick and I were less enthused, Caleb sang E-Rod’s praises. “I have a vision of him hoisting the Cup,” Caleb said. “You’ll see.” Our colleague proved to be prescient. E-Rod, indeed, has lifted the Cup, and in back-to-back fashion to bo...2025

• Penguins Crush Capitals, 5-2, in Season Finale
Following the old saying of saving their best for the last, the Penguins skated circles around the blood-rival Capitals last night en route to an impressive 5-2 victory at PPG Paints Arena. In the process, putting the wraps on a heretofore disappointing season in style. In stark contrast to our flat-line loss to the Bruins on Sunday, our guys overwhelmed the Metro champs, piling up a whopping 74-4...2025

• Penguins Scorched by Lightning, 6-1
Ever since the trade deadline, our Penguins for the most part have played a gritty, competitive brand of hockey. In short, they’ve been “bringing it” on a nightly basis. Along with stellar goaltending from a resurgent Tristan Jarry, it’s a huge part of the reason why we were on a 5-1-1 roll entering last night’s contest in Tampa Bay. Well, sorry to say, both those elements pretty much went pfft du...2025

• Recap: Avalanche top Penguins at Ball Arena

Photo by Andy Cross/MediaNews Group/The Denver Post via Getty Images It wasn’t pretty, but the Avs did what they needed to do in the end. The Colorado Avalanche made a statement Tuesday at Ball Arena: “Never give up.” Casey Mittelstadt put the Avs ahead on the power play with 4:09 remaining, Artturi Lehkonen scored twice, including an empty-netter, Nathan MacKinnon extended his home point ...2025

• Penguins Update: Time to Jettison Jarry?
A quickie game-day post ahead of the Penguins-Maple Leafs tilt to discuss the plight of our goaltending. Not only are Alex Nedeljkovic and rookie Joel Blomqvist having difficulty stopping pucks at the big-league level (with a huge assist to atrocious team defense) but the malaise has spread to the minor leagues as well. Or more specifically, Tristan Jarry. Indeed, it would appear the former All-St...2025

• A Doming-goal In Hartford

If there's one thing I never tire of seeing, it's goals scored by guys who usually prevent them. We were treated to another goaltender goal tonight in the AHL, marking the fourth time it's happened this season.

If Saturday night’s cave-in at Calgary wasn’t enough to convince Penguins POHO/GM Kyle Dubas to cash in his chips and sell at the upcoming deadline, then last night’s 6-1 humiliation at the hands of the Oilers surely did. Playing the second of back-to-backs (the Oilers were too), the Pens managed to hang around for a little while. We limited our hosts to an 11-8 advantage in first-period shots on ...2024

I thought we had this one. I really did. Not just when Evgeni Malkin beat Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky with a Lemieux-esque, sharp-angle shot from the goal line to tie the game at 2-all with 41.5 seconds left. But also when goalie Alex Nedeljkovic sprawled to the ice to poke the puck off Brandon Montour’s stick as the Panthers’ defender flew in on a breakaway with roughly 1:45 left in overtime...2024

With lost ground to make up in the chase for a playoff berth, it was imperative our Penguins emerge from last night’s Metro Division tilt with the Flyers with a regulation win. Fueled by a vintage performance from “Geno Machino,” Evgeni Malkin, and backed by a 36-save effort from Alex Nedeljkovic, I’m pleased to report it was mission accomplished. Indeed, our guys whipped the Flyers, 4-1, and in t...2024

• Thoughts & Jots: From Hue Jackson to Joe Flacco to Aaron Rodgers

Photo by Rich Schultz/Getty Images Things on my mind 1. The Cleveland Browns offense is quite bad while the defense is quite elite. Not solving the QB situation has been a season-long issue. If and when Joe Flacco starts, that would be their fourth starting quarterback this season. Last year the NFL broke the record for the most starting quarterbacks in a full regular season. The record w...2023
