PREGAME Greetings from mild and dark Pittsburgh. It's in the mid-50s but dark. Stupid Daylight Savings Time. Stupid farmers. Anyway, the darkness is really going to cut back on our walks up from town for the next few months outside of the occasional daytime, weekend game. Here are a few shots however. From this morning, the Stanley Cup Champion banners on Centre Avenue have been replaced with these...

So what happened? A back-and-forth game where nether team ever held more than a one goal lead. It also featured a parade to the penalty box during the first period by the Ducks. Fleury made several great saves and Sid stacked the pads to make another huge save when Fleury was out of position. Team play was the story of the night - everyone chipped in. Who scored? Rupp (4), Letang (1), Goligoski (6),...

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,...

It seems we're interrupting our regularly scheduled West Coast swing to fly to PIT and face the defending Stanley Cup Champs.... Bring 'em On!!! If we continue to play like we did against Anaheim, we should be fine. While there is always room for improvement, Saturday's game was a perfect example of "doing all of the little things right". Keep that up, and we have a chance to win each and...
