Drafted 21st overall in 2022 as a defenseman with offensive pedigree, Pickering has undergone a rather stunning metamorphosis, stylistically as well as physically. Since he was drafted...2024

    Seventeen games into what’s shaping up as a lost season (or season of losses), I’ve come to the inescapable conclusion that our Penguins are a bad hockey team. Yeah, I know. Talk about a Captain Obvious observation, huh? There were signs to that effect prior to last night’s 7-1 capitulation to the Stars, on home ice no less. But this latest fiasco poured a fresh layer of Quikrete on the proceeding...2024

  • • Melting Penguins Dissolve in Desert, Bow to Coyotes, 5-2
    Early in his rookie season, October 24, 2006, to be exact, Evgeni Malkin scored an absolutely dazzling goal against New Jersey. One aptly described as “shades of Mario.” Thrusting into the Devils’ zone like a dagger, Geno turned a defenseman to mush, went forehand-to-backhand while turning his entire body around and beat Hall-of-Fame goalie Martin Brodeur like Mike Lange’s rented mule....2024

    The Penguins have placed defenseman John Ludvig on long-term injured reserve today with an undisclosed injury. Although this is pure speculation, it’s possible the injury…upper-body in nature…occurred during the rookie’s game-opening scrap with Islanders heavyweight Matt Martin on Sunday night. Although Ludvig’s had his struggles (a team-worst minus-7), the 23-year-old hard rock brings a phy...2024

  • • Penguins Training Camp Update: Let’s Hope Pysyk’s Injury Isn’t a Harbinger of Things to Come
    When the Penguins inked defenseman Mark Pysyk to a PTO on August 30, there was genuine hope the 10-year NHL vet might earn a spot on the third pairing. In the process providing solid and seasoned depth behind fellow right-siders Erik Karlsson and Kris Letang. While I hate to be pessimistic, those hopes would appear to be dashed…at least for the foreseeable future. After logging 18:31 of ice time d...2023

    The Pittsburgh Penguins have had some pretty incredible defencemen in their franchise history.

    A couple of weeks ago I wrote that the one quality I really like about our Penguins is their ability to hang tough when the chips are down. In the wake of last night’s 6-0 drubbing at the hands of the Capitals, a defeat as humbling and it was humiliating, I may need to scratch that accolade. We looked very much like a team that’s succumbed to discouragement and thrown in the towel. Defenseman and ...2024
