Is the blood boiling yet?
The Penguins haven't played since April 22, 2012. If the reports hold true as of this evening and the regular season begins on January 19, 2013, that means just about nine months will have passed between Penguins games.
Sure, we had the rest of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Sure, we had the draft (awesome event, by the way).
But for the most part, that gap was filled with little else but lockout garbage - hockey-related revenues, make-whole provisions, year-to-year variances, hardline owners, contract term limits, disclaimers of interest and hills the league would die on. For big taste, sprinkle in the Jordan Staal-Brandon Sutter trade, and then let that simmer for nine months in the frustration of a first-round playoff loss to the Flyers.

The condensed post-lockout NHL schedule will force teams to rely more heavily on their second goaltender. Back-to-back games will be commonplace as the league wedges 48 games in before the postseason begins.So newcomer Tomas Vokoun should play a vital role for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

January 09, 2013
Tomas Vokoun must really love the number 29. He must love it so much that when faced with a new teammate already wearing the number, he decides to flip it to #92, the weirdest goalie number of all time possibly.
So, what's with Vokoun's affinity for 29? MAF's usage of the number most likely has something to do with Canadiens goaltender Ken Dryden wearing the...

We'll start this one by saying we can't even remember who the Pens' "enforcer" was last year. Steve McIntyre? It might have been Eric Godard. Not really important. Arron Asham played the role, as well.
