The Penguins management played it safe to open Free Agency, adding bottom six depth options to replace Brandon Tanev and Jared McCann. No move so far has been considered a big splash, but the two most notable signings, Brock McGinn and Danton...
We are almost two months removed from the disaster that was Tristan Jarry’s playoff performance. The Penguins still have a big question that needs to be answered. Can Jarry still be their #1 goaltender? It’s tough to say, honestly. No...
Before the Penguins embarrassing demise in round 1 (that I am totally over and fine with), I made my first attempt at projecting who management will protect in the expansion draft. My, how the times have changed. The Penguins are in a precarious...
The Penguins have one question that dangles above the rest this offseason: goaltending. Former GM Jim Rutherford extended Tristan Jarry last season at a mild rate of $3.5 million for 3 years. Between him and DeSmith, they proved to be a capable...
On paper, the 2021 Pittsburgh Penguins were as deep of a roster as any Penguins team that I’ve seen in my lifetime. Yes that includes the teams that won back to back Stanley Cups. They had center depth that could match up with anyone and four...
It feels like they deserved better, right? This team seemed destined for a run. If not that, at least a marathon series that ended in defeat, but left them proud. Instead, they were dealt another embarrassing first round exit. These Penguins battled...
The Penguins won a wild game against the Islanders to take a 2-1 series lead in their Round 1 matchup. A 5-4 nail biter saw lots of violence and entertaining goals, with Brandon Tanev’s game winner being the highlight of the evening. Tensions are...
The Penguins meet the New York Islanders in the first round of the playoffs for the second time in three seasons. It hardly seems like it, but the reward for winning the toughest division in hockey is playing the team that finished 11th in the...
This week the Seattle Kraken officially became the 32nd NHL franchise. With that news, Expansion Draft talk is already kicking into high gear. The rules for the draft are similar to the Vegas one in 2017. Teams will have the option to protect 7...
For a brief few hours, the Penguins sat atop the East division for the first time this season following a third straight win against New Jersey. After a slow start and mounting injuries, the Penguins are knocking on the door of a division title...
The Penguin’s division was the most active on trade deadline day this year. Boston, Washington, and the New York Islanders all loaded up for what is sure to be a knockout fight of a playoff race. The Penguins made an under the radar move to keep...
Last night was a bit of a roller coaster for the Bruins faithful. Immediately following a brutal 8-1 loss to Washington, news broke that the Bruins and Sabres had agreed to a trade that will send Taylor Hall and Curtis Lazar to Boston in exchange...
GM Ron Hextall’s first deadline has passed. His only move was trading for 36 year old forward Jeff Carter from the Los Angeles Kings. The Penguins paid a relatively small price, sending a conditional 3rd and a 4th round future draft pick to...
The Pittsburgh Penguins head to New York for a two game set against the Rangers this week. The young Rangers are currently four points out of a playoff spot and desperate to make up ground. The Penguins just split their two game set against Boston...
The Penguins played their last game in March, the month that the Penguins started playing better hockey. The Penguins rattled off four straight wins to go 12-3-1 in the month and find themselves in a tight race for the East Division title. Jason...
