POSTGAME -Wow. Wow. Wow. There are times we want to swear in this forum. Mostly those are negative times. Like when someone goes offsides or makes a bad clearing attempt. Then there are times like tonight when something simply amazing happens and you want to scream a four-letter word in amazement. This is one of those times. -This was obviously an amazing game. There was just about everything. Hitting,...

The Columbus Blue Jackets learned a valuable lesson about NHL hockey on Friday night-it's dangerous to 'sit on a lead' and particularly against the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins. Down 3-1, Pittsburgh tied the game late in the third period as Ruslan Fedotenko and Alex Goligoski each lit the lamp with less than three minutes remaining. After a scoreless overtime period, Sidney Crosby...

Just like a infield dribbler counts as a single in baseball just as much as a line drive, there is not a separate category in the NHL standings for “ugly win”. So on a night where the Penguins were quite the disorganized group because of the absence of Evgeni Malkin, they found a way to overcome a two-goal third period lead to tie the game, then defeated the Blue Jackets on a Sidney Crosby...

" 19:00: Jordan Staal takes a shift with Ruslan Fedotenko and Chris Bourque. 18:21: Matt Cooke rattles a Blue Jackets player in the corner in Columbus' zone.

Think about this for a moment. The last time the Penguins had a lineup in a game of consequence that didn't include Evgeni Malkin, John Leclair, one of the final mistakes of the Craig Patrick regime, was still a member of the club. That's how long Evgeni Malkin's consecutive streak was (or still is technically). The last 254 regular season games the Penguins have played have seen Evgeni Malkin take...
PREGAME -Greetings from a cloudy, late October day in Pittsburgh. Just a bleh day. It was dry enough to park downtown and walk up to Mellon Arena however. This is left over from last night. A Quebec license plate in the garage at Chatham Center: -PPG Place against a gray sky: -Looking south on Stanwix Street: -The construction at Market Square which is apparently fine to show off when every major...

Kris Letang and Orpik man the points. 19:10: Martin Skoula takes a shift with Mark Eaton. 18:30: Jay McKee and Alex Goligoski are back together.
