Before Chicago gets to have the fun this year, I wanted to go back and check out the highlights from the original Winter Classic. NHL.com has a page here with many of the links they had about it. I sincerely hope Conklin plays for Detroit in this years Classic, as he has played [...]
Orpik the elder has signed back with the Penguins for the surprisingly reasonable price of $3.75 million a year for 6 years. Sabres GM Darcy Regier spoke about the situation today:
“We are looking both short-term needs and we’re looking long-term because we’ve got a number of players that we want to sign and we want [...]
Free Agency starts tomorrow, but several names are already off the market. The rights to Gary Roberts and Ryan Malone were traded from the Pens to the Lightning, with both players signing new deals (Malone 7 years, $31.5 million, Roberts 1 year, $1.2 million). The Lightning also acquired the rights to negotiate with Brian Rolston [...]
Local boy Brooks Orpik turned down the latest contract offer from the Penguins, which might open the door for his unrestricted free agency.
“We did receive an offer, which we turned down,” (agent Lewis) Gross told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Thursday. “But we’re still talking, and we’ll see where it goes.”
The 27-year-old Orpik had one goal, 10 assists [...]
Contgratulations to the Detroit Red Wings, your Stanley Cup Champs. Pittsburgh gave up the early lead to Detroit, which seemed like the death of them in this series. Zetterberg is your Conn Smythe winner. It was contested down to the final tenth of a second as a desperate rebound shot fluttered past Osgood (but not [...]
Pittsburgh pulled Fleury and tied game 5 late in the third period, and Fleury went back in and did the rest. He made 55 saves in an incredible performance. The Penguins won halfway through the third OT despite the Red Wings looking like the better team for long stretches. The win puts Pittsburgh down three [...]
Pittsburgh took the third game of the Stanley Cup Finals last night, blowing away my previous poll by scoring 3 goals. Crosby had two and Adam Hall had the other. The Pens seemed to be the more physical team, with Brooks Orpik dominating a stretch of the game in the third period, hitting anyone that [...]
Another game, another SO for Chris Osgood. The Pens went goon-y at the end, Crosby was whining, and the wagons are being circled. I might get to watch the next couple games, I sure hope they at least are competitive.
I was actually surprised to read the ratings for game one of the Stanley Cup Finals.
The Red Wings’ 4-0 win on Saturday night had a 1.8 national rating—drawing over 2.3 million viewers. The rating was the highest for an NHL game on Versus
It may be a factor of having 2 US teams in the Finals, [...]
…then the Red Wings woke up and totally outclassed the Pittsburgh Penguins, winning 4-0 in game one of the Stanley Cup Finals. The Pens carried the play in the first period, with the help of a Detroit goal getting called back by yet another Goaltender Interference penalty on Holmstrom (that’s a rule they might just [...]
