  • • Ex-Penguins Update: Olympic Break
    With the NHL on pause for the Olympics, I thought it’d be an ideal time to check on former Penguins throughout the league to see how they’re faring. Stats are updated for games played through February 5 and courtesy of Hockey-Reference.com. There’s no real surprise at the top of the expatriate heap. Jake Guentzel of the Lightning paces the ex-Pens in goals (26), assists (34) and ...2026

  • • Ex-Penguins Update: One-Sixth Pole
    I’ll begin my first Ex-Penguins Update of the season with a quiz. To borrow a catch phrase from the old Lone Ranger serial, who is that masked man pictured above? To find the answer, keep reading. Unlike seasons past, there isn’t much cookin’ among former Pens these days as we pass the 1/6th pole. Oh, Jake Guentzel is scoring at close to his customary point-per-game clip for the ...2025

  • • What About Tristan Broz? Will He Make the Penguins?
    Now that the Penguins’ youth movement has begun in earnest, several youngsters are expected to earn spots this season, with forwards Ville Koivunen and Rutger McGroarty considered virtual locks. On the far side of the blue line, defenseman Owen Pickering and goalies Arturs Silovs and Joel Blomqvist are solid bets to see action with the black and gold as well. Perhaps even the highly regarded duo o...2025

  • • Penguins Report Card: How Is Kyle Dubas Doing?
    With nothing in particular to write about, I thought I’d take a gander at how Penguins’ POHO/GM Kyle Dubas has fared after two seasons on the job. Since arriving as a big-splash hire in June of 2023 to replace the disgraced duo of Ron Hextall and Brian Burke, by my unofficial count he’s signed 23 free agents who’ve skated for the Pens (including PTOs and Filip Hållander), made four waiver cl...2025
  • • Penguins Update: Ron Hextall Revisited
    We all know the narrative regarding Ron Hextall’s brief tenure as the Penguins’ general manager. In the eyes of many, Hexy single-handedly brought the black-and-gold to their present low state. One scribe went as far as to describe his 26-month run as GM a “reign of error.” While there’s no disputing the fact that Hextall made his share of blunders, if we’re going to excoriate him for his mistakes...2025
  • • Penguins Ink Blue Line Prospects
    The Penguins have signed a pair of defensemen, both former draft picks, during the past couple of days. Yesterday they signed 23-year-old Daniel Laatsch, a 6’5” 190-pound, left-shot defenseman taken in the seventh round (215th overall) under Ron Hextall in 2021, to a two-year, entry-level contract. Judging by his stats, the rangy blueliner and assistant captain with Wisconsin employs a stay-at-hom...2025

  • The First Of The Season
    • The First Of The Season
    Sometimes, there are players who bounce through the NHL that teams may have moved or given up on long before they hit their strides. Goaltender Filip Gustavsson may be one of those players as he seems to be a solid netminder with the Minnesota Wild. Drafted 55th-overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2016, they moved him to Ottawa in a forgettable trade for Vince Dunn, and Ottawa shipped him to Min...2024

  • • Penguins Recall St. Ivany
    The Penguins have summoned 24-year-old defenseman Jack St. Ivany from their Wilkes-Barre/Scranton farm club on an emergency recall, the team announced today. Ryan Shea, recalled on a similar basis on Thursday, was returned to the Baby Pens. A rangy 6’3” 198-pounder, St. Ivany was drafted in the fourth round by the Flyers back in 2018 when Ron Hextall was the GM in Philly. The Manhattan Beach, Cali...2024
  • • Should the Penguins Complete the Deconstruct Initiated by Ron Hextall?
    The thought’s been buzzing around in the back of my mind for a while now and I figured I’d finally commit it to paper (or e-type). As unthinkable (perhaps distasteful is a better word) as it would be, should the Penguins bite the bullet and complete the roster deconstruction (or destruction) unintentionally initiated by Ron Hextall? Tragically for the fans and team alike, not to mention our former...2023

  • • Penguins Stave Off Flyers for Must-Win Win
    Last summer Fenway Sports Group was reported to have asked general manager Ron Hextall to share his plan for retooling the Penguins. Hexy assured them he had a plan, but that it was hard to articulate. Along those lines, I’m sure coach Mike Sullivan has a plan for protecting third-period leads. And I’m sure he and his staff communicate that plan to the players. Unfortunately, something always seem...2023
  • • Penguins Update: Should Nylander Have Been Called Up Earlier?
    In the wake of Alex Nylander’s very impressive black-and-gold debut last night, it fairly screams the question. Should he have been called up earlier? And if so, could it have had an effect on the moves we made at the trade deadline? About six weeks ago, in the midst of a dry spell from our bottom six to rival rainfall totals in Death Valley, I posted an article suggesting that perhaps it was time...2023

  • • Penguins Update: The Day After (and After That)
    Hey all. I’d originally intended to post the first section of this article yesterday, but life and work combined to throw a Jacob Trouba chicken-wing elbow my way. Since many of the thoughts are still valid, I thought I’d publish it now and tack on a second section to include today’s (Friday’s) moves. Here goes: ############# I feel for Ron Hextall and Mikael Granlund. I really do. I can’t for one...2023

  • • Is the Penguins’ (Draft) Future in Good Hands with Ron Hextall?
    Originally, this was going to be a team comparison between the Penguins and our hated state rivals, the Flyers, along the lines of my recent article about the Hurricanes. However, a quick scan of the Flyers’ stats changed my focus. Ah, the best laid plains of mice and men… Before I begin, I’ll digress a bit. The friendship between Pens bench boss Mike Sullivan and Flyers skipper John Tortore...2023

    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

    In a development somewhat reminiscent of last spring’s executive house cleaning, the Penguins will not renew the contracts of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton head coach J.D.

Former Pens GM Ron Hextall and POHO Brian Burk...2024

    As the Penguins lurch toward their second straight non-playoff season, it’s fair to say long-time coach Mike Sullivan is beginning to feel the heat.

  • • Penguins Swing Minor Deal
    In a swap of minor-league forwards, the Penguins dealt Corey Andonovski to the Blues for Mathias Lafferierre. Although the trade doesn’t figure to impact the big-league roster (at least ours), it continues an all-too-familiar trend of pushing guys who play with an edge out the door (not too mention players brought on board during the Ron Hextall era). Indeed, the deal comes on the heels of another...2025

    February 28, 2023. Perhaps not a day that will live in infamy for Penguins Nation, but maybe it should. Late in the third period of a 3-1 victory over Nashville, then-Preds forward Mikael Granlund broke free and shot the puck, center mass, on Pens goalie Tristan Jarry. As Jarry made an easy save, an eerie reverse premonition popped into my head. Something to the effect of, “Gee, I hope we don’t ac...2023
