PREGAME -Greetings from rainy and dreary Western Pennsylvania. High 40s and nothing but rain all day. Just awful. -The Penguins get a Superstar and a Sarge back tonight and they've each done damage to the Senators in the past: -FSN Pittsburgh wants to know what you want to watch. Something on Jaromir Jagr, Bob Johnson or last season's Stanley Cup title. We're voting for Johnson: -Mark Eaton will play...
Jordan Staal's shorthanded goal in Monday's win against the Ducks was the ninth of his career. Since he entered the league in the 2006-07 season, Staal is one of the best at producing goals while trying to kill penalties. The leaders among shorthanded goals since the start of 2006-07: Player, Teams Short-handed Goals Mike Richards, Flyers 16 Rick Nash, Blue Jackets 12 Daniel Alfredsson, Senators 11...
The Pittsburgh Penguins ended a four-game losing streak in dramatic fashion last night, scoring with just fractions of a second remaining in regulation to send the game to overtime.

Dupuis then scored another...

”It’s a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, inside a riddle,” - David Ferrie (as portrayed by Joe Pesci), JFK - 1991 If someone can claim to dicipher the true value of Jordan Staal to the Pittsburgh Penguins, please, be my guest. The young man (just turned 21 on Sept. 10th) is obviously very talented at the NHL level and has performed brilliantly at times. At other times, however, he really...

When you think about the faces of the Penguins franchise - Sidney Crosby, Marc-Andre Fleury and Evgeni Malkin - you think of youth. All four of those players are under the age of 25. Then you get to Brooks Orpik. You might not think of him as part of that vital internal core. He doesn't win Hart Trophies or Conn Smythe Awards. He wasn't one of the top two picks in a draft. He never made a clutch,...
