Introducing the MCI Worldcom Cup
Think that title is a stretch? It’s not so much of one as long as people keep piping up about wanting to rename the NHL awards. This isn’t a new topic of discussion. The CBCs Elliotte Friedman wrote on it a while back and Y!’s Puck Daddy contributor Sean Leahy brought it up again this [...]

All the Kings Horses & All the Kings Men
It’s been some time since there has been really good news on the injury front for the Pittsburgh Penguins and while I wish no ill to Derek Engelland or Ben Lovejoy, I am also very happy to hear the news this morning that they are headed back to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Where in the World is Tyler Kennedy?
In a very brief exchange with Penguins PR representative Erik Easley this morning I took the opportunity to ask about Tyler Kennedy and his expected return. The response was pretty much what I expected, and no offense to Erik, he’s just towing the company line of non-disclosure on injury. I wouldn’t be doing my job [...]
Powerplay at Center of Pens Woes
The Penguins dropped a 6-2 3rd period collapse to the Ottawa Senators Thursday night. A game that saw the Penguins garner 5 powerplays. The boxscore would show the Pens were 1-5, a respectable 20% for the game. However the lone Powerplay goal came when the Senators had already packed it in for the night up [...]
Chris Bourque the Anti-Player
If you have watched a Penguins game while looking at the #pens hashtag on Twitter lately, you may have noticed that finding a Pens fan who has a kind thing to say about Chris Bourque is the same as hard as finding one who things Kris Draper had a point about handshakes or some nonsense. [...]
