What a difference a game makes. A mere 72 hours after a sloppy, disjointed effort in Game 2 that had Steel City fans (and their coach) scratching their heads, the gritty, never-say-die Penguins rebounded to throttle the Lightning 3-2.
It was clear from the opening faceoff the Pens had regained their focus. Skating with a knife-blade edge, the [...]

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Tampa Bay Lightning Gameday Poop: Game 3
The Penguins game plan for tonight’s 7:38PM tip off in Tampa should be a simple one. Stop Tampa Bay from scoring in the first period. To do this the Penguins need to play strict defense, Kris Letang can’t be pinching in taking chances until later in the game.
Last game, Tampa Bay had 20 shots on goal, Fleury only stopped 16 of [...]

Penguins Playoff Update: Time for a Cool Change (or Two)
Being tied 1-1 with Tampa Bay after two games is hardly reason to push the panic button. And I’m certainly not advocating any kind of sweeping changes. But I have a couple suggestions for coach Dan Bylsma that might help the Penguins’ cause.
First and foremost, I’d bench Chris Conner in favor of Eric Tangradi. It’s nothing personal. Conner’s [...]

Lightning Singe Penguins 5-1
To borrow a refrain from an old Sam Cooke tune, “Mama Said There’d Be Days Like This.” And so it was for the Penguins in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series with Tampa Bay. Playing before another packed house at CONSOL Energy Center, the Pens out-shot the Lightning (36-21), out-hit them (36-27) and, for good measure, won t [...]

Gameday poop: Game 2 Pittsburgh Penguins VS Tampa Bay Lightning
The Penguins proved on Wednesday night that hockey is a team sport. You play as a team, you win as a team. The Penguins organization has put together a group of characters who are a team on the ice, a family off the ice. Game one didn’t just show the grit and determination of the Pittsburgh players. It also showed a group of players tha [...]

Fleury Paces Penguins to 3-0 Win Over Lightning
Heading into Wednesday night’s encounter with Tampa Bay, Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury didn’t have particularly fond memories of his last playoff game. Not after leaking for four goals on 13 shots during a do-or-die Game 7 versus Montreal—an outing that contributed to a precipitous early-season decline.
It was a far different Fleury who m [...]

2011 NHL Playoff Predictions
We thought we would post some of our emails that are going back and forth here at PenguinPoop about how we think the playoffs will go down. We are doing this informally, so some of us are only talking about the first round Eastern Conference, while some of us talk about both conferences and who will win the cup. Enjoy.
If you are interest [...]

Gameday Poop: Game 1 – Pittsburgh Penguins VS Tampa Bay Lightning
Some people say Summer is the best season. Some say Spring or Fall. My favorite season is hockey playoff season.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Tampa Bay Lightning Playoff Predictions
The PenguinPoop prediction debate is on. For the first time that I can remember one of our writers is saying they think the opposing team will win. Some are saying the Penguins are underdogs and some are saying they think the Pens fans think that Tampa will be a pushover.
