Even though the road trip wasn’t a total success, at least it ended on a positive note. They needed to acquire a minimum of five points on the trip and that is exactly what they did. After one of their worst performances of the year in New Jersey, they played maybe their most complete game of the year in Boston. Fleury got his first [...]

Can the Penguins Beat the Devils?
Mar 15
2010
by Horse
If we take a look at the first five meetings this season the answer is a resounding NO. An aggregate score of 17-3 tells the story of the total dominance that the Devils have had over the Penguins this season. It would be a big step toward finishing first in the division if the Penguins can solve the Devils this one time on Wednesday. Pend [...]

Which Penguin Forward Will Be First in the Pressbox?
Mar 05
2010
by Horse
With the trade deadline acquisitions, Ray Shero has given Dan Bylsma and staff a good problem — 7 NHL defensemen and 13 NHL forwards. Beyond the obvious increase in talent level, there are other advantages. First, it gives the bottom forwards a little extra motivation to stay on top of their game so they can remain in the lineup. It [...]

Penguins Final 20 Regular Season Games
Mar 04

by Horse
The final 20. How teams play over the last quarter of the season is usually a solid indicator of how they will play during the playoffs. The Penguins have not played their best hockey thus far this season and they are well aware of it. Going into the playoffs with a head of steam and home ice advantage (at least in the first round) will be [...]

A Vote for Olympic Hockey
Feb 25
2010
by Horse
I really enjoy watching Olympic hockey. As a hockey fan, I don’t know how you couldn’t. The games are fast-paced, the skill level is awesome, the energy level is incredible. Add the patriotism and you get a tremendous tournament.
Do these games benefit the NHL? Probably not much. Has NBC given hockey maximum exposure? No &# [...]

Penguins Must Use Olympic Break as Gut-Check Time
Feb 14
2010
by Horse
The Olympic break is here leaving 20 games in the regular season for the Penguins. Here’s hoping it gives each player plenty of time to look in the mirror and come to the conclusion that ’I must play better’. These last three games before the break have definitely been a microcosm of the season. The players continue to [...]

Penguins MUST Improve Defensive Play
Jan 23
2010
by Horse
The Penguins are 6-10-0 in their last 16 games. They are giving up goals at an alarming rate. 58 in this span of games for a 3.63 goals against. It seems that the only way they can get a victory lately is to score a handful or more of goals, or get a goaltending performance that is above the call of duty. Against a mediocre New York Islan [...]

Penguins Revamped Powerplay Will Produce
Dec 20
2009
by Horse
Even though the powerplay was 0-5 against Buffalo, I like the new setup. The puck movement is much better. I’ve really felt all along that Crosby and Malkin had to be on opposite sides of the ice. Now that is the case. When Gonchar has the puck at center point, he will have three great options, and the penalty killers can only take [...]

Fighting Flyers Fail Again
Dec 16
2009
by Horse
You have to wonder what made the Flyers think that they could beat the Penguins by intimidating them. Ashem, Cote and Carcillo “three very talented hockey players”, think that they have to fight to keep their jobs in the NHL. Imagine that. They should realize that the Flyers need them to score goals in order for them to win hoc [...]

Penguins Winning Ways
Dec 13

by Horse
The Penguins have a record of 22-10-1. One point behind the Capitals, and even with the Devils in the East. When you look at all of the things that are going on with this team, injury-wise and stat-wise, you have to wonder — how did they achieve this outstanding record? On the injury chart — Talbot has missed 2/3 of the season, [...]
