  • • Hark. Is That Opportunity I Hear Knocking on the Penguins’ Door?
    KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK… There’s an old adage about opportunity knocking on your door. Another about striking while the iron’s hot. Is opportunity knocking on the Penguins’ door vis-à-vis goalie Tristan Jarry? Out in Pittsburgh west (Vancouver), where former black-and-gold GM Jim Rutherford resides, the Canucks are in a bit of a pickle. Starting goalie Thatcher Demko has a rare lower-body ...2024
  • • How I Wish the Penguins Could Break out of Mike Sullivan’s Mold
    I’m going to start this post with a well-deserved shout-out to Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now for his outstanding article, “How the Penguins Can Change the Story, Be Competitive.” To his credit, Dan scored a direct hit on some of our most egregious issues. “The Penguins need to build a little hate, slather it with some anger, then top it off with a generous portion of coarse resistan...2024
  • • Penguins’ Kyle Dubas Continues to Focus on the Future with Cody Glass Trade
    For the first time in what feels like forever, it seems like the Pittsburgh Penguins may actually have a plan. Throughout the Jim Rutherford and Ron Hextall eras, it felt…...2024
  • • Is Mike Sullivan Too Much of a Hockey Purist for the Penguins Good?
    As I was pondering our Penguins in the wake of my latest rant over loading up on undersized defensemen, a thought popped into my head regarding long-time coach Mike Sullivan. Is he too much of a hockey purist for the good of the team? It’s no secret what type of hockey Sullivan prefers. Fast, clean, gritty and straightforward. Not unlike the brand of hockey he played at Boston University and later...2024
  • • Did Ron Hextall Do the Penguins a Solid in the Draft?
    Giving credit to former general manager Ron Hextall in any way, shape or form generally isn’t the way to make friends or influence people in these parts. Nor will it win you any popularity contests among the black-and-gold faithful. Indeed, the former Philly GM is generally regarded by Penguins Nation as a villain or worse…the man responsible for expediting the end of our glorious postseason run t...2024

  • • Would the Penguins Be Better Off If Jim Rutherford Were Still in Charge?
    I was scanning the hockey sites Wednesday night for trades and other pre-draft activity when I noticed the Canucks made two moves, each involving former Penguins. First, they re-signed pending UFA center Teddy Blueger to a two-year deal with an AAV of $1.8 million. Later in the day, the Canucks peddled forwards Ilya Mikheyev and Sam Lafferty to Chicago, along with a second-round pick in the 2027 E...2024

  • • The Penguins still looking at J.T. Miller trade, but should they?
    Should the Penguins acquire J.T. Miller? Well, the internet, and especially Twitter is buzzing about trade talks between Pittsburgh and Vancouver for JT Miller. The real question I want to answer is, should they? The internet will tell you yes because he’s just “so good”, but just because a player puts up great point totals doesn’t translate to a “great fit”. ...2023

    There's no doubt that the world feels that Bruce Boudreau deserved better than how he was treated by the Vancouver Canucks. Boudreau was doing his best with what he had to work with in a roster that was littered with contractual mistakes as much as it is solid talent. I'll be surprised if new head coach Rick Tocchet can get anything more out of a listless Canucks squad compared to what Boudreau wa...2023

Indeed, the native of Kuopio, Finland and son of former NHLer Sami Kapanen seemed poised to fulfill the promise that prompted former GM Jim Rutherford to select him 22nd overall in the 2014 Entry Draft.

    A strange thing happened last night. Our Penguins were eliminated from qualifying for the postseason for the first time since 2006. Unlike our Pens, the Islanders made the most of their second-chance opportunity by defeating the Montreal Hab-nots by a score of 4-2. It seems so surreal, doesn’t it?
