• Penguins Extend Dewar and Solovyov
The Penguins conducted their first bit of business in what promises to be an active and impactful offseason. And I must say, I like it. Kyle Dubas signed feisty fourth-line stalwart Connor Dewar to a two-year extension with an AAV of $2.25 million. He also inked defenseman Ilya Solovyov to a one-year deal with a cap hit of $850 K. When Dubas extended Blake Lizotte back on January 12, I thought “wh...2026

• Ex-Penguins Update: Final 2025-26
With the Penguins’ season concluded and a paucity of fresh ideas in the ol’ brain pan, I thought I’d post a long overdue Ex-Penguins Update for the 2025-26 season. Topping the list of expatriates? To no surprise, Tampa Bay’s Jake Guentzel, the runaway leader in goals (38), assists (50) and points (88). Not to be Cap’n Obvious, but it goes without saying the deal that sent Jake away isn’t agi...2026

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.

• Penguins Bludgeon Banged-Up Panthers, 9-4
Heading into Saturday’s matchup with the Panthers at PPG Paints Arena, I confess to having some concerns. It wasn’t so much our flat-line loss to the Lightning on Thursday night as a fear that we might take the two-time defending Cup champs too lightly.

A quick pop quiz. What do Erik Karlsson, Bryan Rust and Rickard Rakell have in common?

Being that I am a hockey fan, I have a bit of a hockey jersey collection that features teams from a number of leagues.

• 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...2026
