PENGUINS RUMORS & GOSSIP
James Neal’s filthy toe drag goal for the hattrick
The Pittsburgh Penguins had no trouble with the Ottawa Senators in game four and that momentum carried over to game five. Penguins forward James Neal was red hot in game five and ended up scoring a hattrick, with this beauty being the final one. He pulled an awesome toe drag off on last year’s Norris Trophy Winner, Erik Karlsson, and then buried the puck high glove.

The Time is Perfect for Penguins to Put Fleury Back In Net
With the big win last night the Penguins have Ottawa on the brink of elimination and have afforded themselves the opportunity to get their #1 goalie back into the fold.
Many will argue that Tomas Vokoun is the hot hand and the Penguins should leave him in net. On the other side many will argue that Marc-André Fleury has experience under the pressures of Stanley Cup games and...

HE'S GOOD AT HOCKEY
Crosby toe-drags, scores on backhander
During the third period, Pittsburgh Penguins forward Sidney Crosby showed off his fantastic skill set on this play. He entered the zone, toe-dragged against the Ottawa Senators defenseman Chris Phillips and then pulled the puck to his backhand. He was wide open in front of Craig Anderson and let a sick backhand shot go right under the crossbar into the net. The goal gave the...
Pittsburgh Penguins Fans Do the Unthinkable; Cheer For NY Rangers
As vile as it tastes. As dirty as you feel. As much as this goes against every fiber of your Penguins-fan being… Cheer for the Rangers tonight. Or at the very least hope for a mutual massacre that results in a 1-0 Rangers win. Why? Because it’s the Cup, and that’s bigger than my disdain for any division rival.
There is no such thing as a guarantee in the playoffs, and by no...
Sidney Crosby humiliates Chris Phillips
If you watch this enough times you can actually see Chris Phillips signing his retirement papers. What a disgusting move.

Penguins: An Emotional Loss Sparks Questions
The Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators were in a scoreless tie of their game three match-up for almost two full periods of play. With 1:07 left to play in the second period, Penguins forward Tyler Kennedy buried the puck in to the back of the net past Senators goaltender Craig Anderson. This came after a [...]
Greening gets a painful keepsake
Colin Greening scored the biggest goal of his career against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday night in Ottawa. The goal, which gave the Senators a 2-1 double-overtime win against Pittsburgh, sent Scotiabank Place into a frenzy.
Greening may actually have a keepsake from his memorable goal that's a little bit different than just a stick or a puck. If the Sens have good doctors...

Double Overtime Game Lost Thanks to Coach Bylsma’s Prevent Defense
Penguins coach Dan Bylsma lost the game last night. It wasn’t a bad play, it wasn’t a better team, it’s wasn’t poor play by his team, it wasn’t the drop play that Bylsma kept referring to in his post game interview.
It was bad coaching.
It is 100% Dan Bylsma’s inability to go for the kill is what lost last night’s double overtime game against the Ottawa Senators. ...

Crosby records hat trick in Game 2 win

Pittsburgh now holds a 2-0 advantage in the teams’ Eastern Conference semifinal series, with the Senators now needing...
CLOSE SHAVE
Penguins fan with gross team spirit
I… I really don’t even know what to say about this. How the hell does one even have that much body hair to do something like this? And at what point did this seem like a good idea to walk around the concourse like this? Oh wait, it’s Pittsburgh? Hell, this probably isn’t even the weirdest body hair arrangement at the game tonight.
Are These the Last Days of Fleury in Pittsburgh?
Will Fleury get a chance to redeem himself? The announcement that Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury will sit out his first NHL playoff game in favor of Tomas Vokoun may signal the end of the “Flower” as a Penguin. After faltering in the post season each year since the Penguins Stanley Cup win in 2009, [...]
Marc-Andre Fleury Once Again Weak Link for Penguins on Night Full of Goaltender Injuries, Intrigue (Videos)
Marc-Andre Fleury won the Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins back in 2009. That will feel like a lifetime ago for many Penguins fans on Tuesday night, after watching Fleury beat by the surprising New York Islanders.
Since 2005, Fleury has the 22nd-best save percentage among goalies with at least 200 starts, and he looked like the 22nd-best goalie in the arena at the Nassau...
