TEAMS: Pittsburgh Penguins, Nashville Predators, Toronto Maple Leafs
So the Penguins are in Toronto which is the kind of thing that usually gives us seizures.
Sid is in Air Canada Centre for the first time since 2010.
God, this could be either the most beautiful or the most ugly thing to ever happen.
LEAST TIME TAKEN TO GET READY FOR PROM
It has all the makings of a magical spring night.
Tomas is fixing MAF's hair before his date arrives.
Pens won an innocent looking faceoff really early on. Shot from the point was blocked. Somehow it came to Neal, who put on a routine shot.
And the room falls to a hush. It's possibly that Reimer's gown alteration has come back botched. But at least a few of us are ready for the dance early.
DARKEST QUESTIONS
As the game starts settling in a bit, Reimer's glitz gown is fitting better and we begin asking ourselves idle questions.
Like why is Joey V scratched all the time?
It's easy to ask ourselves such spoiled questions. Sid takes a couple bloodthirsty shifts. A...

Video: Penguins defenseman throws down alley-oop dunk
It’s been a pretty good year for rookie Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Robert Bortuzzo. He scored his first NHL goal back in February, and then there’s this little gem of a video clip. He and some teammates are getting some shoot-around time at an empty Wells-Fargo Arena (home of rival Philadelphia Flyers, and the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers), and then the 6’4″ Bortuzzo throws...

Flyers fan’s shirt behind bench: ‘Sidney Crosby is a whiny little (expletive)‘ (pic)
It is hardly surprising that the rivalry that exists between the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins, given the geographical proximity and hailing from the same state (Pennsylvania, for you half-wits out there), is an often heated one, chock-full of animosity and intensity with a healthy dose of vitriolic back-and-forth. The bitter antagonism between the respective fanbases...

RECAP: The Night Reimer Died. PENS WIN.
Right before Sidney Crosby suffered his concussion, he was undoubtedly playing the best hockey we've ever seen him play. Then he was gone from the game for the better part of two years. It's taken Crosby 25 games to get back to where he was. There were countless "Jesus, did you see what Crosby just did" moments in this game. There was just something...

Reasons For Expansion
from Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
Back when the league was adding the Panthers, Mighty Ducks, Predators and Blue Jackets, complaints were common that the quality of play suffered, that there weren't enough skilled forwards and defensemen. But the global pool is now far deeper. USA Hockey youth registrations have soared since the Florida/Anaheim expansion...
