  • • Penguins Update: Behind-the-Curve Grumble
    Hey all. Just noticed news of a free-agent signing by the Cup-champion Panthers from nine days ago that stirred my dander and set my blood a boilin’. (Yes, news travels slooooowly in this neck of the Penguins Nation woods.) I could’ve easily added my diatribe as a comment to my most recent article, but instead decided to make it a full-fledged rant. The transaction that’s peeved me so? Panth...2024
  • Vamos Gatos!
    • Vamos Gatos!
    Back in 1973, the Florida panther was added to the endangered species under the federal Endangered Species Act, making it illegal to harm or harass a panthers in Florida for any reason.

Or maybe we can just enjoy the continued long title drought for fans of Canadian […]...2024

    • Florida GM Bill Zito livid after Connor McDavid clinches Game 5 in Oilers-Panthers
    Connor McDavid clinched Game 5 for Edmonton, and Panthers GM Bill Zito was not exactly happy The Stanely Cup Final is headed back to Edmonton. After the Oilers won Game 4 at home to push the NHL Stanley Cup Final back to Florida, they forced Game 6 with a 5-3 win over the Florida Panthers to keep their title hopes alive. Edmonton star Connor McDavid was huge again for the Oilers, making NHL histor...2024
