  • • How Are the Penguins Gonna Get Their Next Sid?
    It’s fair to say that in his three short seasons at the Penguins’ helm, Kyle Dubas has done a marvelous job of refilling what were largely barren prospect coffers. In the process, he’s transformed Wilkes-Barre/Scranton from a team stocked largely with has-beens and never-weres into one of the youngest and arguably most talented clubs in the AHL. Indeed, the Baby Pens ooze promise, particularly up ...2026

  • • The Right Guys Are Scoring for the Baby Penguins
    There’s no question the Penguins’ first-round exit at the hands of the hated Flyers put a damper on what was for the most part a resoundingly upbeat season. However, on the plus side of the ledger, there are positive developments aplenty down on the farm. Namely, the guys you want to have producing for the Baby Pens are, in fact, producing. Center Tristan Broz notched three assists in Tuesday nigh...2026

  • • Blues Charge, Topple Penguins, 7-5, in Finale
    Way back in the day (I’m talkin’ late ‘60s and early ‘70s) the Penguins and Blues were protagonists in one of the fiercest rivalries in hockey. Games between the non-kissin’ expansion cousins were often wild ‘n’ woolly affairs, the Pens’ 10-4 thrashing of the Blues on November 22, 1972, a prime example. Well, Bugsy Watson and the Plager Brothers have nothing on the present day Pens and Blues. Duri...2026
  • • Penguins Update: Who’s Doin’ What
    Curious to see how our Penguins are performing against the expected on an individual basis, I decided to post a quick ‘n’ dirty article comparing actual 5v5 goals for percentage (GF%) and expected goals for percentage (xGF%). I haven’t a clue as to how the expected numbers are calculated, but it sure makes for an interesting read. Among the players who are far outperforming the expected per Natura...2026

  • • Penguins Update: Rakell, Lizotte and Possibly Acciari Out for Sabres Game
    Yikes. No sooner do I take my favorite pup, Zeusie, out for our noon-time constitutional, then things start to unravel for our Penguins. Forwards Rickard Rakell (lower-body injury) and Blake Lizotte (expecting the birth of a child) are definitely out for tonight’s important clash with the Sabres. Battling an illness, Noel Acciari may miss the game as well. In response, the Pens summoned Avery Haye...2026
  • • Penguins Return Brunicke to Junior, Place McGroarty on IR
    The Penguins made two roster moves today involving a pair of prized rookies. Defenseman Harrison Brunicke was returned to his junior team, the Kamloops Blazers of the WHL. Forward Rutger McGroarty was placed on IR with a concussion. The moves come just as Evgeni Malkin is about to return from IR. Geno’s been on the mend from a shoulder injury since December 4. Not only is the big guy set to return...2026
  • • Penguins Activate McGroarty and Blomqvist
    At long last, a little good news on the injury front. The Penguins today activated goalie Joel Blomqvist and power forward Rutger McGroarty. Both have been assigned to the Baby Pens. Blomqvist hasn’t played since stopping all 11 shots he faced during a 2-1 preseason shootout loss to the Canadiens back on September 22. For McGroarty, the wait’s been even longer. He hasn’t suited up since he was fel...2025
  • • Winnipeg Jets’ CHL Prospects Review
    Arctic Ice Hockey’s summer Prospect Review will consist of multiple articles this year, which should allow me the room to do a bit more than just throw a bunch of stats & figures out. The True North franchise currently owns the rights to or has signed 23 players that I could consider as part of the prospect pool (24 yrs old or younger). Just over half of those guys were playing with the AHL&...2025

    Anyone who watched the Panthers hammer-and-tongs their way to a Stanley Cup last spring with an aggressive, body-banging style knows that physical play in the NHL is on the rise. Following Florida’s lead, many teams around the league are reinforcing their lineup with a muscular presence. In particular, our Metro brethren have loaded up. In fact, you might say our division is heavyweight central. T...2024

Now we jump into an exciting Part Two—featuring a player I was genuinely thrilled to see selected: Bill Zonnon.

    I was exchanging texts with PenguinPoop colleague Caleb DiNatale this morning when a dreadful thought occurred to me. One almost too terrible to entertain.

    I confess, I only watched tiny snippets of the recent Penguins games at the NHL Prospects Challenge in Buffalo. Contests that saw our fledglings prevail. Hardly enough viewage to offer any kind of expert analysis.

    The Penguins have recalled forwards Rutger McGroarty and Boko Imama from their Wilkes-Barre/Scranton farm club ahead of tonight’s Metro clash with the Flyers. A 21-year-old power forward and former first-round pick, McGroarty’s tallied four goals and seven points in five games with the Baby Pens. With three goals and four points in his last 11 games, Imama, a 29-year-old heavyweight, h...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

    Now that kid forwards Ville Koivunen and Rutger McGroarty, arguably the crème of our prospect crop, have joined the Penguins, what can we reasonably expect from them? Will they make a splash during these final eight games? Or will the results be more sobering? Personally, I think we’ll need to temper our expectations.

With the clock ticking down to under 30 seconds remaining and the Pens trailing, 4-3, Ville Koivunen scooped up the remains of an errant Erik Karlsson shot and wheeled off the right sideboards with the puck.

    To say it’s been an unusual season thus far for our Penguins would be putting it mildly. A piping hot 8-2-2 start, as encouraging as it was unexpected, raised expectations that this group might possess playoff pedigree. A limbo bar that has since been ratcheted down closer to the floorboards on the heels of a ghastly 1-5-4 slide. Indeed, the way things are going? It feels like we’ll be hard-presse...2025
