I don't know how he does it, folks, but GM Ray Shero has a talent for finding...well...talent, at a minimal price.  Today it was announced that F Mike Comrie signed a 1 year deal with the penguins at the cost of $500k.  Ladies and gentleman, that is what… more »

Good morning Pens nation! As training camp approaches, a lot of free agents have begun to pick their new homes. In the case of the pens, they picked not to give Bill Guerin the option of returning to Pittsburgh more »

August 23rd was a day of goalie news that may impact the Wilkes Barre Penguins; unfortunately I find these announcements to be bad news. Between the rumor that Alexander Pechurski will be playing in the AHL this season to the announcement that Adam Berkhoel retired from hockey, I have not been a happy camper. more »

The NHL just held its annual Research and Development Camp, which is an event where the NHL leaders get to try out new rule ideas and see how they pan out on ice. It is interesting to see what ideas they come up with and thinking of how they will look if they would implement them. I get excited at the possibilities. I am going to tell you some of the ideas and then explain what they could mean for the NHL next season if implemented. more »

I saw the Arron Asham signing and thought the same thing everyone else did, what have we done?! Then I began to think of the things we were missing as a team and what he can provide. My mind changed instantly. I am going to look up possible line scenarios as well. more »

After yesterday's (8.20) announcement of the Penguins signing winger Aaron Asham, a Flyer the last two seasons, I am still unsure of how exactly to feel and react to this. more »

Monday mornings in August....a dreaded day in a month that yields no games and very little free agent activity.  Most of us are at work right now, reading any Penguins related article we can find, no matter how insignificant the "meat" of the story truly… more »

Throughout the time I have been a hockey fan I have noticed that female fans are treated differently by some male fans, by the media, and by the NHL organization. In the sports world, male and female hockey teams exist. There is even a team for both sexes in the Olympics. If men and women can both play hockey, why is there such a difference in treatment when it comes to being a hockey fan? Hockey is a sport that appeals to all different types of people for one reason or another. Why is it that when a female says she is a hockey fan she is automatically labeled a puck bunny and is not taken seriously? I have gotten to know quite a few female hockey fans and I can tell you that the majority of them show no resemblance to a puck bunny. more »

Although there is no playoff implications or anything of that sort in the air right now, we did have some great things happen. We had a walk off 3 run shot from Pedro Alvarez, the new Consol Energy Center officially opened, Pitt and Penn State are in the top 15 in the country to start off the season, and the Steelers are looking pretty good (in my eyes) as well as our own Dick Lebeau being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Also, we have three new writers preparing their first posts as we speak! more »

I was trying to think of what I wanted to do here, so I thought of the idea of a weekly review of what happened in the Pittsburgh sporting world and beyond. Considering it isn't hockey season-yet or football season-yet and our baseball team isn't that go… more »

With just twenty games remaining on the schedule and sitting in fourth place in the conference, one point out of a tie for second, we have a lot of work to do after the Olympic break. I am going to look at the current situation, the trade deadline, the statistics, and the must bury teams for the rest of the season. more »

This is the first of two favorite times of the year. We have to give it to the guys from the past, we wouldn't be able to be the way we are today without them. While reading this, really think about what I am saying here. more »
