Orpik's future with Penguins still uncertain

Within a few weeks of their loss to Boston in the Eastern Conference final earlier this year the Penguins signed forwards Evgeni Malkin and Chris Kunitz and defenseman Kris Letang to contract extensions a year before their current deals expire. Another seemingly logical player for such negotiations was defenseman Brooks Orpik their longest-tenured player. Instead? Crickets. Orpik...

From Journeyman to Superman by @pandapsu

From Journeyman to Superman  Picture an NHL player who was undrafted and then finally makes it to the NHL. He shows flashes of greatness, but hits a rough patch and shuffles between four different teams in a two-year period. Most of us would probably guess this story would result in the player’s career coming to a quiet end, perhaps meddling in the minor leagues for its...

Preseason Thoughts: Game 2 vs Detroit

Via The PensNation  |  September 17, 2013
Welcome back Pens fans! If you’re new or have forgotten what I do in the postgame thoughts, here’s a quick introduction/recap. Speaking of, don’t expect recaps. It’s purely thoughts and analysis of specific plays and players.

With James Neal on his line, he is going to make an impact for your fantasy team. Malkin has historically racked up more points when Sidney Crosby has been out of the lineup. A downside to drafting is he has
