All kinds of rumors have been flying around about Evgeni Malkin since the NHL Draft last week (at least that was the first I had heard of them).
I heard that Malkin was offered $12.5 million (tax-free dollars, I might add) to play in Russia’s KHL and that he was considering leaving the Pittsburgh Penguins for […]

The Pittsburgh Penguins have filed for salary arbitration with their star goaltender, Marc-Andre Fleury. Arbitration hearings will take place from July 20th to August 4th. This will give the Pens time to negotiate Fleury’s contract since it will prevent him from becoming a free agent on July 1st.
I think it’s a smart move. […]

Does this need any words?!?! Here are the highlights from the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals between the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Sure, it’s mostly a collection of plays the Pens would like to forget about but they’ve got some good stuff in there too (just not as many…). I thought this was […]

Well… it’s over. The NHL hockey season that is. Lord Stanley was handed over to the Detroit Red Wings last night after their 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 6. I wasn’t rooting for the Wings but I felt sorry that they won in Pittsburgh. There was little cheery, very few fans and […]

I don’t know if I will be able to talk for days because I was screaming so loud. With a minute left in the game, I had already started writing this post but it was titled “Red Wings Win 2008 Stanley Cup.” And then the unexpected happened - with a little more than 30 seconds […]

This was their chance and they blew it… The Pittsburgh Penguins all but gave the Stanley Cup away to the Detroit Red Wings during that last game, despite being on home ice. Pens goaltender, Marc-Andre Fleury’s at-home winning streak came to an abrupt end and the numbers were downright appalling. The NHL website did […]

The New Jersey Devils have offered Finnish defenceman Anssi Salmela a deal. While the details are not yet known, it does sound like a good deal since the 23-year-old free-agent had 16 goals and 16 assists in 56 games with Tappara of the Finnish League last season.
Salmela could sound familiar if you watched the […]

The Pittsburgh Penguins have a lot on the line tonight. It’s their chance to tie the season and give themselves a chance to turn this series around. They will head back to Motown for Game 5 against the Detroit Red Wings and I think it will be a tough game. If they lose tonight, I […]

Pittsburgh Penguins defenceman, Krist Letang, was a close friend of Luc Bourdon and has been badly shaken by the loss. The young Vancouver Canucks rookie defenseman was killed earlier this week when his motorcycle crossed over into the path of a truck on a winding, two-lane road.
Letang says that Bourdon had called him earlier in […]

I could not have been more thrilled last night to see the Pittsburgh Penguins rebound and come back in the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals against the Detroit Red Wings. It’s the morning after and I’m not any less excited watching the recap. It was definitely a hard-played game and I am really looking forward to […]
