As the title says, all good things must come to an end. This includes the Wilkes Barre Penguin's playoff run. As many of you may already know, the Albany River Rats swept the first round of the Calder Cup playoffs, eliminating the WBS Pens. The Pens being eliminated was hard on me (as you can tell by how late this post is) but I am finally ready for closure. It is time to say goodbye to the '09-'10 season. more »

It is playoff time again! Time for playoff beards, whiteouts, blood, sweat, tears, lost voices, loud cheers, and most importantly, time for the WBS Pens to show that they have what it takes to fight for the Calder Cup! more »

Tomorrow, Wednesday April 7th, the Wilkes Barre Penguins have the opportunity to clinch a playoff spot in chase of the Calder Cup. Since this season has been filled with ups and downs, I think it is necessary to focus on the positive and let the boys know we believe in them! So I decided to have a pep rally..... more »

On March 17th, Lord Stanley made his second visit to Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania since the Penguins became the Stanley Cup Champions in June. Lord Stanley must have enjoyed himself while he was here back in September because we were graced with his presence again! Find out about his latest visit to Wilkes Barre after the jump... more »

When you see hockey pictures on websites, the players usually look tough, focused, and/or determined. If the players saw these pictures of themselves they would most likely be happy with them. This post brings you the exact opposite. If the players saw what I am about to post and knew who I was, I would be running away from them right now. But since none of them know who I am, I present to you all: The Many Faces of the WBS Pens! more »

The beginning of 2010 was dark for the Wilkes Barre Penguins. The team started losing more and more games and the players lost their edge. Fans were questioning the coaching staff and the players' abilities. Playoff hopes were shrinking fast. But then, on February 11th, something changed... 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 »

I am Legend. I figured a catchy title may intrigue you more sine I haven't given you anything to read in a good while. What can I say, the Pens, although dropping a few in the last week and getting killed with injuries, are looking even better than last year. The Steelers are back on track after that big Monday night win over the Broncos. As for the Pirates, well, let's hope that really was year two of the three year rebuilding plan. Only three more to endure! more »

Well, I have been distant recently, but I hope this post will make up for some of it. There has been a lot going on with our teams lately and as my co-authors have been tremendous at voicing their thoughts and opinions, I believe it is my turn to give you a little insight into my head about these happenings. more »

With the free agent market and the salary cap tight, we all knew it would be hard to sign or resign some players. To be honest, I think Ray Shero has done a remarkable job so far in holding the team together. We lost some players, but they were pretty much unsignable. I like our chances next year. more »

On the eve of free agency, I come to talk about the Penguins. The signings, the draft, and the free agents. The Pens have a bright future and I like what I see so far, but they will once again need more to get over the hump next season. I want to add, I think they will. I also come to apologize for the recent lack of posting. I currently have a ton going on in my life. I will write more down below, but essentially, an opportunity came along I couldn't pass up. more »

If you go about not even looking at the numbers, usually you would say no, just like in the Steelers case in the last post. However unlikely in that aspect, it is likely when you actually look at things. I have been looking at the free agents and bouncing them off of playing time, roles on the team, and points in the regular season. I also looked at how they contributed in the post season. Out of all these things comes the salary cap as well. I feel bad for Ray Shero. I will break it down for you and try to sound smart in the process, yeah, like that can happen! more »

Now, the past couple years, our dear city has had a ton of success in terms of sports teams and events. We now have two Superbowl wins, two Stanley Cup Finals appearances and a Stanley Cup Victory. The Pirates are finally on a rise, however small, it is still just that, a rise. Pitt is always trying to move up, we will see this coming season. We seemed to be poised with some great success for years to come. That is why we claimed the name, the City of Champions more »

What else can I possibly say in a post to properly demonstrate what our Penguins have accomplished. The odds were against us. The history was against us. The commentators were against us. In other words, outside of Pittsburgh, there were very few who thought this game seven would even occur aside from us winning it. The fact is that we did and we won. more »

After a hard swim of concentration, I decided not to just write a motivational post, but to write a tribute to the accolades already in place from this season. This will be, regardless of the outcome, one of the best seasons in franchise history in terms of drama. I couldn't have written it any better. From 10th place in February and sliding to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. From Stanley Cup Finals coach in 2008 to a different Stanley Cup Finals coach in 2009. From lineup changes to trade deadline geniosity (thanks for the word Shaina!). As fans, we can't ask for much more. more »
