• Announcing My Semi-Retirement from PenguinPoop (Part II)
Back in September 2024, I announced my semi-retirement from blogging. No sooner did I click on the Publish button than I experienced a change of heart. I continued to post game recaps and opinion pieces on PenguinPoop throughout the remainder of the ’24-25 season and on through this past one. As they say, what goes around comes around. I’m once again announcing my semi-retirement from bloggi...2026See also Egor Chinakhov

• Penguins Prospect Bill Zonnon Shines (Ilyin Too)
During the 2025 Entry Draft, I confess I was bitterly disappointed at first when the Penguins selected smallish center Ben Kindel 11th overall. I very much wanted us to take bristling physical defenseman Kashawn Aitcheson, who went on to pile up 28 goals and 70 points in 56 games with the Barrie Colts this past season. I still held out hope Kyle Dubas might take Aitcheson with the 12th overall pic...2026Visit the page Barrie Colts breaking news

• Game 5 Recap: Penguins Top Philly in a Thriller, 3-2
Take that, Gritty! In as thrilling and intense a hockey game as you’ll ever hope to witness, the Penguins beat back the persistent Flyers, 3-2, in Game 5 of their first-round clash before a rockin’ throng at PPG Paints Arena last night. In the process, taking another step in their quest for an improbable comeback. The Flyers came out buzzin’ like bees around Mike Lange’s hive, forcing Pens g...2026Read about PPG Paints breaking news

• Caps Best Shorthanded Penguins, 6-3
The Penguins entered Saturday’s nationally televised matinee matchup with the Capitals sans a burgeoning list of regulars. Much to ABC’s chagrin, Sidney Crosby, Connor Dewar, Erik Karlsson and Bryan Rust sat out due to lower-body ailments, while Ben Kindel, Kris Letang, Blake Lizotte, Evgeni Malkin and Parker Wotherspoon skipped the festivities with upper-body maladies. Remarkably, the team’s figh...2026Visit the page Sidney Crosby latest news

• Penguins Prospects: What About the Kids?
In yesterday’s post, I detailed many of the extraordinary things that went right for our Penguins this season. However, there was one important area I didn’t touch on. Namely, how our Pens did when it came to developing the kids. Regarded as a Dan Muse strength. On that count, I’d say the results were mixed at best. Before I go into detail, it should be noted our youngsters certainly didn’t ...2026Click for news about Dan Muse

• Penguins Surprises: Who’da Thunk It?
As the Grateful Dead sang in their 1970 classic, Truckin’, “what a long, strange trip it’s been.” Yes, I’m referring to the Penguins’ Cinderella season. Back when training camp assembled last September, who’da thunk (in no particular order): Anthony Mantha, coming off a season lost to ACL surgery at age 31, would register career highs in goals (31), assists (30) and points (61); Fello...2026Continue with Anthony Mantha news today

• Penguins Prospects Watch: 2025 Draftees
Last week I posted an article detailing the progress of the Penguins’ prospects at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Today, I thought I’d focus on the kids taken in the 2025 Entry Draft to see how they’re performing. My esteemed colleague, Other Rick, already started us down this path in the comments section of the Baby Pens article. I confess, prospects watching is his domain and he’s far more observa...2026Continue with Barre Scranton availability report

• Penguins Snap Mini-Skid, Wallop Flyers, 6-3
The Penguins prevailed last night in the most recent installment of the Battle of Pennsylvania by a 6-3 count before of a throng of 17,963 loyalists at PPG Paints Arena. In the process, nipping a nascent 0-2-1 min-skid in the bud, not to mention a finishing drought that had seen us tally just two goals over the previous three games. The blood rivals entered the contest with 52 points apiece and pr...2026See also PPG Paints injury

• Penguins Return Brunicke to Junior, Place McGroarty on IR
The Penguins made two roster moves today involving a pair of prized rookies. Defenseman Harrison Brunicke was returned to his junior team, the Kamloops Blazers of the WHL. Forward Rutger McGroarty was placed on IR with a concussion. The moves come just as Evgeni Malkin is about to return from IR. Geno’s been on the mend from a shoulder injury since December 4. Not only is the big guy set to return...2026See more Harrison Brunicke injury update

• Penguins Rocked by Rangers, 6-1
Mama said there’d be days like this. Or, if you prefer, all good things must come to an end. Pick your platitude. Our Penguins came crashing back to earth last night en route to a resounding 6-1 shellacking at the hands of Mike Sullivan’s Rangers at PPG Paints Arena. Following a strong first period that saw us pile up a 21-9 edge in shot attempts and a 9-4 advantage in actual shots on goal, the ro...2025Visit the page Mike Sullivan injury

The Penguins got back on the winning track in Minnesota on Thursday night against the Wild. After spotting the home team an early lead on a goal by Kirill Kaprizov midway through the first period, the black-and-gold went to work, notching four-straight goals against former Pens draftee Filip Gustavsson.

• Penguins Update: I Was Wrong (A Lot)
Having authored three books about our Penguins, I like think I know a thing or two about hockey and hockey players. As it turns out, maybe I don’t know so much after all. Lately, I’ve been wrong. A lot. In some cases, hopelessly so. The first and foremost example? Rookie Ben Kindel.

• NHL Draft winners and losers featuring the Islanders’ legendary weekendPhoto by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images The NHL Draft is in the books and here’s who did the best (and worst). The NHL’s first (and hopefully only) “decentralized draft” wrapped up over the weekend with one of the more curious classes in recent memory. The best way to characterize 2025 was “boom or bust,” with almost every player outside of the top 10 prospects having obvious problems with th...2025See more Bruce Bennett salary rumors -

• Rookie Ben Kindel scores twice, leads Penguins to a 3-2 win over the Canucks
Rookie Ben Kindel scored twice in the second period to lead the Penguins to a 3-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday and a sweep of Pittsburgh's four-game western Canada trip. Kindel, from nearby Coquitlam, British Columbia, had a large contingent of supporters on hand for his second multi-goal game. Evgeni Malkin also scored for the Penguins (26-14-11), and Stuart Skinner stopped 19 shots...2026Check it out Vancouver Canucks stats

• Penguins Update: Who’s Doin’ What
Curious to see how our Penguins are performing against the expected on an individual basis, I decided to post a quick ‘n’ dirty article comparing actual 5v5 goals for percentage (GF%) and expected goals for percentage (xGF%). I haven’t a clue as to how the expected numbers are calculated, but it sure makes for an interesting read. Among the players who are far outperforming the expected per Natura...2026Visit the page Egor Chinakhov

• Bruins Edge Penguins, 2-1
Every once in a while life prevents me from doing a full recap of a Penguins game. This is one of those times. Fortunately, from a retelling standpoint, there wasn’t much activity on the scoreboard. Erik Karlsson, who played a sensational game, staked us to the early lead 42 seconds in on a long-range wrister. However, by the six-minute mark, Bruins had snatched the lead and the momentum on a pair...2026Click for news about Erik Karlsson

• Penguins Update: Does Going With Youth Guarantee Success?
If you’re like me, you’re happy with the fact that the Penguins at long last seem to be embracing a youth movement. Or at the very least, are on the verge. Eighteen-year-old center Ben Kindel and 19-year-old defenseman Harrison Brunicke are making a serious bid to stick with the team for a full season. While they aren’t exactly kids, 25-year-old forward Filip Hållander and 24-year-old goalie Artur...2025Click for news about Harrison Brunicke

• Penguins Recover, Cut Down Sabres Behind Crosby’s Two Goals
I’ve gotta confess, things looked pretty bleak for the Penguins last night. After slogging out of the starting gate, we spotted the Sabres a seemingly insurmountable 4-2 lead heading into the third period of our final preseason tune-up. Then…SHAZAM…the boys in black and gold roared back to nip the visitors, 5-4, on Sidney Crosby’s overtime winner. Truth be told, the game was a mixed bag containing...2025Read about Sidney Crosby

Three first-round picks in one night? That’s not something you usually see from the Penguins in this day and age, but Kyle Dubas back to his old tricks. Instead of holding on to the 12th overall pick, he moved down in total Dubas fashion. Trading the 12th overall pick to Philly for picks 22nd and 31st, then flipping that 31st and a second-rounder (59) to L.A. to move back up to 24. A lot of fans w...2025See more Kyle Dubas

• Red-Hot Penguins Scorch Blackhawks, 6-2
Coming off their triumphant four-game western swing and several days’ rest, the Penguins were sluggish during the first period of last night’s tilt with the Blackhawks at PPG Paints Arena. Perhaps understandably so. When Connor Murphy struck for Chicago from the high slot off the rush midway through the frame? I kinda had a flashback to that fateful night in April 2023 when a downtrodden Hawks squ...2026See also PPG Paints

• Should Penguins Youth be Served?
To say it’s been an unusual season thus far for our Penguins would be putting it mildly. A piping hot 8-2-2 start, as encouraging as it was unexpected, raised expectations that this group might possess playoff pedigree. A limbo bar that has since been ratcheted down closer to the floorboards on the heels of a ghastly 1-5-4 slide. Indeed, the way things are going? It feels like we’ll be hard-presse...2025Check it out Evgeni Malkin
