As soon as the game ended last night, I started to write my piece for PenguinPoop. I was going to write about all the bad things that happened. We all know the reasons the Penguins are down 2-0 in the series. Instead I am going to look at the bright side. At this point the Penguins have lost two one-goal games on the road to a team, one [...]

Pens Lose Exciting Game; Go Down 0-2
I have got to say, that was an exciting hockey game. It had everything. The stars were out, great plays, better saves, big hits, drama and a fantastic finish. Unfortunately, the Pens come home down by two. This game could have gone either way. Both goaltenders played incredibly well. Varlamov played a hair better. He made some huge sav [...]

Markus Naslund Retiring at 35?
According to the New York Post – 35 year old, 1st round Penguin draft pick Markus Naslund is retiring. The New York Rangers signed Naslund last year to a 2 season $8 Million dollar contract, but his low production of 24 goals and 46 overall points has had the New York fans and media all over him for the bulk of the year.

Game Day Poop: Penguins vs Capitals Game 2 preview
The Penguins are back in Washington tonight for game two of round two. Sidney Crosby worked on perfecting his open net shooting. “Usually you’re not working on an open net, But I had to.” Crosby Said. The Penguins had outworked the Capitals most of the game and ended up the victims of a few mental lapses. They are looking to [...]

Penguins Power Play: Yeo Can’t Make it Go

by Horse
Back in late January, I asked Dave Molinari what qualified Mike Yeo as a power play coach. He said that it is hard to characterize a coach’s credentials because there was no definitive background that would qualify a person as a coach. I’ve searched through Mike Yeo’s background — a minor league low-scoring winger, [...]

Penguin Mistakes Allow Caps to get 1-0 lead
I hate to pin the loss on one or two players making one or two bad plays, but………….. the Penguins were dominating every aspect of the game until Gonchar flipped an easy clearing pass from just inside his own blueline over the glass. There was nobody on him, no real pressure or need to make a hasty play, but he did. Th [...]

Gameday Poop: Pittsburgh vs Washington Game One – Where is Malkin’s Respect?

Superstars Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin and Semin on the same sheet of ice

by Horse
There are four series left in the march to the Stanley Cup. It is safe to say that the spotlight will be on the Penguins vs. the Capitals. The other three match-ups are all interesting and should be exciting to watch. But the prospect of putting Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin and Semin on the same sheet of ice conjures up visions of some very en [...]

7.1 Reasons Malkin is this years MVP, not Ovechkin
On Wednesday the NHL announced the three finalists for the Hart Trophy, which is given to the player who is most value to his team, Evgeni Malkin, Alexander Ovechkin and Pavel Datsyuk. I don’t want to offend every Detroit Red Wing fan out there (or maybe I do), but this is a two horse race and Datsyuk, as great as a year as he had, is n [...]
Round 2 Matchup… Washington Capitals vs. Pittsburgh Penguins
In March – I provided a capsule 1st round match-up synopsis of my thoughts between the Caps and Pens and basically things are about the same except the change in the Capitals goal. Simeon Varlamov has played more playoff games than regular season games. His first playoff series and he comes up a winner with a 1.17 GAA, 2 shutouts, and a [...]
