John Toperzer: Chicago Needs a Defender & Pittsburgh Has Defensive Depth: A Match?

Via HockeyBuzz  |  February 08, 2012
Pens unable to sweep season-series Tuesday in Montreal Follow me on Twitter @JohnToperzer -Nobody disputes that Paul Martin has talent. The issue is whether it’s worth $5 million per year. If Martin was making $2-$3 million there wouldn’t be so much trade speculation and perhaps not as much angst directed toward him. -What was Jason Williams doing in the shootout...

Crosby returns to Penguins practice

Via Fox Sports  |  February 06, 2012
Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby returned to practice Monday, but there is still no timetable for when the former MVP will return from a neck injury. The 24-year-old skated with his teammates in Montreal for the first time since being forced out of the lineup in early December following a brief return. He has been skating on his own in recent weeks. Last Tuesday, the Penguins...

STATS: The inevitable Paul Martin vs Sergei Gonchar comparsion

Via The Pensblog  |  February 07, 2012
This one is tough. Gonch was an aging defenseman. He came off a not-so solid playoff ( see Travis Moen's goal in game 7) Paul Martin was the puck moving defenseman from the New Jersey Devils. He was younger, much less of a risk. From Rob Rossi that summer: The Penguins prefer a two-year term at no more than his previous $5 million annual salary, and Barry said...

Long shot spoils Fleury's night / Canadiens 3, Penguins 2

Used to be that a bad game would rattle Marc-Andre Fleury, causing him to follow it with one that wasn't much better. Not anymore, though. He proved that again Tuesday night, when he did just about everything possible to earn a victory for the Penguins against Montreal at the Bell Centre.

Grading the Game: Penguins VS Canadiens

Via Rant Sports  |  February 08, 2012
I’m not enjoying this season’s schedule – back-to-back games, then long lapses of time in between the next game – nope, I’m not liking it at all.  What happened to games every other day?  It just lacks consistency and it disrupts my schedule as a fan, so I can’t imagine what it’s like for the players.  I realize that good teams find ways...

One thing you can set your watch to. No matter the season, the record, or time of year, a loss in Montreal will drive you crazy. Losing in Montreal makes you think thoughts that aren't rational. It drives you to your kitchen where you just start eating things because you're so jammed up. You take your dog for a real long walk after losses in Montreal. You probably lost some...

For Sid, misery does love company

Via Post-Gazette  |  February 07, 2012
He didn't look bad on a line with Steve Sullivan and Cal O'Reilly, even though he was playing out of position. He added a nice dimension to the No. 2 power play, as well, even though the second unit isn't exactly his natural habitat.
