  • Paul Skenes’ dominant season worthy of Rookie of the Year
    • Paul Skenes’ dominant season worthy of Rookie of the Year
    Photo by Dustin Satloff/Getty Images Skenes came in with big expectations and surpassed all of them. It’s hard to put into words how much one player could mean to a sports franchise. Patrick Mahomes to the Kansas City Chiefs, Steph Curry to the Golden State Warriors, Sidney Crosby to the Pittsburgh Penguins. In the same city as Crosby as past greats like Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr, Joe...2024

    There was an election yesterday in the United States of America. You may have heard a little about it, but the 47th President of the United States was forecasted sometime late into the evening. I had no stake in the game, but, if you did, here's hoping the results will continue to push America in the right direction when it comes to a number of key things that were apparently on the ballots across...2024
  • • Penguins Update: Building Through the Draft Doesn’t Guarantee Success
    If you’re a Penguins fan, you know the inevitable looms just ahead and around the corner. Eventually, the Pens are going to tear down the last vestiges of their Stanley Cup champions and begin a rebuild in earnest. The once-mighty Red Wings succumbed to the forces of Father Time. So have the equally proud Blackhawks. Like our Pens, three-time Cup winners in the new millennium. The plan in a nutshe...2024

    • Shohei Ohtani on verge of historic feat
    Photo by Todd Kirkland/Getty Images Shohei Ohtani is on the verge of one of the most impressive offensive seasons in MLB history Unicorn. Superstar. Five-tool player. “Showtime.” Greatest of all time? Pick your nickname or adjective, it likely describes Shohei Ohtani. One of Major League Baseball’s most electric players in over 100 years, Ohtani and the LA Dodgers are 88-61, leading the N...2024

  • • My Ten (make it Eleven) Favorite Penguins of All-Time: Part 1
    I was working the front desk at Wright’s Gym a while back, more or less minding my own business, when an idea for an article popped into my head. Who are my 10 favorite Penguins of all-time? As I began to compile the list in my head, I immediately ran into a dilemma. One of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, our fabled Two-Headed Monster, would not make the cut. After debating about what to do, I to...2024

    Getting a nickname in hockey is not only a sign of affection but a sense that a player has really made it. Wayne Gretzky became the “Great One,” Mario Lemieux was “Super Mario” and the late Gordie Howe remains “Mr.…...2024

  • Edge Of Seventeen
    • Edge Of Seventeen
    The 1992-93 Pittsburgh Penguins for a lot of reasons, but most people will remember them from that season for three reasons: the introduction of the "Robo-Peguin" logo, falling to the New York Islanders in the playoffs that year thanks to David Volek, and an epic win streak that lasted for 17 games and 32 days. Despite winning the President's Trophy and having the league's top scorer and third-ove...2024

    I'm hardly any kind of superstitious person when it comes to how I live my life. I do believe that coincidences happen, but it's not because I dressed in a certain order or ate the same foods for each meal that day. Hockey players certainly are different, and each has their own set of what they believe and what just happens via coincidence. When two historical things for one franchise happens on t...2023
  • • Penguins Update: Letang Wins the Masterton
    I was most pleased when Kris Letang garnered the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy at the NHL awards ceremony last night. Making him the third Penguin to win the award, along with Lowell MacDonald in 1973 and Mario Lemieux in ’93. Not that his co-finalists weren’t deserving, too. Arizona’s star forward, Clayton Keller, recovered from a femur broken in two places to register an 86-point season. Chicag...2023

Well, it is anyway, but not too realistic. It just became more realistic with the news of Avs captain Gabriel Landeskog missing the entirety of the 2023-24 season due to surgery he had yesterday, which was successful. With Lan...2023

    As disappointed as I was with the Penguins’ sorry finish to the season, I can’t imagine how hockey fans are feeling in Boston, Denver and New York right now. Especially in Beantown, where the juggernaut Bruins shattered NHL records for regular-season wins (65) and points (135). Eclipsing even the powerhouse Montreal teams of the mid-to-late ‘70s. On second thought, maybe I can appreciate the depth...2023

    • Zeroes At The NHL All-Star Game
    If you're an NHL fan, you've likely known for some time that the numbers zero and double-zero are both outlawed by the league. The reasoning for this was that the NHL's statistic database didn't recognize those numbers as valid numbers being used, so the NHL outlawed them in 1996-97. That ended the hopes of seeing Martin Biron carrying on in his career wearing #00, Kevin Weekes never wearing the n...2023

Tonight they faced a desperate Penguins squad that sat just one point out of an eastern wild-card spot, and we added another chapter ...2023

    Heading into the 2005-06 season, the Penguins had high hopes. Following three dismal seasons, they won the right to draft phenom Sidney Crosby.

Also on hand…an aging but still potent Mario Lemieux, who figured to be reju...2024

    Back on December 17, 1991, the Penguins feasted on an epically bad Sharks team by the lopsided score of 10-2. Mario Lemieux, Jamie Leach and our beloved Bibster, Bob Errey, notched two goals apiece. Sixteen black-and-gold skaters tallied at least one point that night. Thirty-two years later (has it been that long?), history repeated itself last night at the appropriately named SAP Center. Powered ...2023
