All kinds of drama leading up to this game. Malkin is back from his concussion. Praise Curry. Beau Bennett was suddenly demoted most likely to make roster space since Zach Boychuk is taking up space on the roster on waivers until noon tomorrow. Sorry Zach we adored your energy but it Just Wasn't Happening. SPEAKING OF ENERGY: we more or less agree with The Pensblog's take on why TK is even allowed to play anymore. We're not on the "fire/trade anyone" bandwagon at the moment, mostly because we try to remain as objective as diehard, irreverent Penguins fans can be, and also because we don't believe we can do anything better than Rejean Shero except possibly birth children, drink bourbon, and host a dinner party (really he strikes us as more of a gin type, right?).

So, about Kris Letang...

Via The Pensblog  |  March 04, 2013
It's three tons of ******** from the Bell Centre media that Kris Letang didn't get one of the three stars of the game Saturday night.  He had the most points of anyone who played, and it was the best offensive game of his career, points-wise.  Maybe the fact he was -2 swayed the media. Or maybe just because it was the Montreal media. Brent  Steve Sutter got the...

BREAKING: Zach Boychuk claimed on waivers, Brandon Yip placed on IR

Via The Predatorial  |  March 05, 2013
