Beau Bennett scores on a ridiculous shot from bad angle
The Pittsburgh Penguins completely and utterly dominated the New York Islanders in game one of their Stanley Cup Playoff series, winning 5-0. Beau Bennett got things started early on the power play less than five minutes into the game by beating Evgeni Nabokov with this ridiculous shot. Nabokov had literally no chance, this is one of the most perfect shots I’ve ever seen. To...
Penguins pitch shutout of Islanders
Pascal Dupuis scored twice, Marc-Andre Fleury made 26 saves and the top-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins opened the playoffs with a 5-0 romp over the New York Islanders on Wednesday night.
Beau Bennett, Kris Letang and Tanner Glass also scored for the Penguins, who had no trouble against the upstart Islanders even with star Sidney Crosby sidelined by a broken jaw. Pittsburgh hardly needed...
harnessing the power
as a reminder, we don't give awards in the playoffs. There's one bigger award everyone has to worry about. We don't want to detract from actual glory.
You know that feeling you get, when you are at just that right height in the air in an airplane, and it's nighttime, and all of the lights beneath you are pulsating frantically like living creatures in a hopeless...
2013 Penguins Playoff Preview
We said it last season after the loss to the Flyers, and it's a no-brainer to mention it again now. That series changed us. For as far back as we can remember, there has never been a time where our guts were ripped out like that. The enthusiasm everyone had going into those playoffs was destroyed. People were wiping away tears while shaving their beards. It shook us to...
RECAP: Song Remains the Same. PENS WIN.
This is getting ridiculous now. The Pens' goal scorers last night: Sutter (2), Morrow (2), Iginla (1), Murray (1). None of those guys were on the Pens roster last April. The only name missing from that list is Jokinen, who actually left this game midway through with an illness.
As for the game itself, Morrow dropped the mitts with Subban and was basically...
Pens outmuscle Panthers in 3-1 victory
Before the start of the game, Evgeni Malkin was scratched with an upper body injury. The injury may have been sustained two nights before when Malkin took a huge hit into the boards. With the Penguins forced to play Florida without three of their top skill players, they turned to gritty forwards and punishing defense to grind out a 3-1 win, Saturday night.Pittsburgh outhit Florida...
RECAP: Down the stretch they come. PENS WIN.
This was an ordinary game through two periods. Pens were playing like they typically do in Carolina. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes are surprisingly awful this season.
But when the time came for two points to be deposited into the bank, the Pens wrote the check and cashed it in. With a top-2 seed already locked up, these remaining 8 games will be all about arranging...
Penguins beat Canes to win division
Beau Bennett and Evgeni Malkin scored 13 seconds apart in the third period and the Pittsburgh Penguins clinched the Atlantic Division title by beating the free-falling Carolina Hurricanes 5-3 on Tuesday night.
Brenden Morrow scored his first goal with the Penguins, Robert Bortuzzo added a goal, and Pascal Dupuis had an empty-netter and two assists.
Marc-Andre Fleury made 25 saves...
Simon Despres sent down, but relax it isn't a big deal
Letang and his hair were activated today. [ Pens ]
This left the Pens with 100 million players on their roster so they had to send someone down. That someone was Simon Despres. He was choosen because he is the only one left other than Beau Bennett on a two way deal.
Good news though, the roster expands April 3 so he'll be back. He could be back even sooner if the Pens...
douglas murray is round: a study
PH Staff digs the Douglas Murray trade because:
1. picks are whatever. If we end up needing them we have plenty of assets with which to get them back. But somehow I don't think it's gonna come to that.
2. Does everyone realize what "win now" means? Shero is trying to fill roster holes by inserting grit. Morrow is a combo of grit, skill, and veteran...
RECAP: TK Phones Home. PENS WIN.
12 wins in a row. 24 points. February 20th, the Flyers won that free-for-all 6-5 on CONSOL ice. The Pens haven't lost at home and have gone 14-2-0 overall since then.
Even with both Malkin and Letang creeping from the press box, the Pens have managed to get teams sucked into playing their game. The complete 180 on the blue line has been the main catalyst for...
NHL Roundup: Penguins blank Rangers for 8th win in a row
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 23 shots to break a tie for Pittsburgh’s career shutout record with 23, and the Penguins beat the New York Rangers 3-0 on Saturday for their eighth straight victory. Beau Bennett, Pascal Dupuis and Tyler Kennedy scored, and Dustin Jeffrey added two assists as the Penguins continued to dominate the reeling Rangers. Pittsburgh has...
Fleury's franchise-record shutout leads the way in 3-0 victory over New York
As Dan Bylsma would say, eight is better than seven. Behind Marc-Andre Fleury the Pittsburgh Penguins were able to notch their eighth straight win, defeating the New York Rangers 3-0 at Consol Energy Center, Saturday afternoon. The Penguins dominated the opening period, got a lead, then locked down the Rangers in the final two periods. Rookie forward, Beau Bennett, got the Penguins...
RECAP:MAF-Rock Shake. PENS WIN
Question: Hey, what do the Rangers and the Titantic have in common?
Answer: Nothing, so shut the **** up.
But if you wait about two weeks, you'll see the joke appear on Facebook that both the Titantic and New York Rangers sit on the bottom of the Atlantic. (currently this joke is featuring the Flyers)
If Dan Bylsma started a meth...
Penguins beat Rangers 3-0 for 8th straight win
Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 23 shots to break a tie for Pittsburgh's career shutout record with 23, and the Penguins beat the New York Rangers 3-0 on Saturday for their eighth straight victory.

Pittsburgh Penguins Gameday 28 - Toronto Maple Leafs
Pittsburgh Penguins (19-8-0) @ Toronto Maple Leafs (15-11-1)
ROOT, SNET-O, RDS - 7:00 pm/et
Air Canada Centre - Toronto, ON
The last Pens/Leafs game from a few days ago was an entertaining contest, except for the Malkin injury of course. The Pens needed a shootout to triumph over the Leafs last time. What will happen tonight with the Pens looking to win seven...
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...
RECAP: A Clockwork Orange. PENS WIN.
There are wins. Then there are big wins. This game: ******* huge win. Maybe Dan Bylsma flipped out after the first period; maybe he didn't say anything. Whatever he did, it was the right move. The Pens now leave Philly knowing they can beat this Flyers team, and the importance of that can't be put into words.
It took the Penguins about 14 games over two...
Pittsburgh connection: put Beau Bennett in the same role as Brandon Saad
In case you haven't heard, the Chicago Blackhawks have gone 23 games without losing a game in regulation. They've also won ten in a row (a franchise record), amassing a record of 20-0-3. All with a rookie playing on their top line.Pittsburgh native Brandon Saad has played in all but one of those historic games so far this season. He is currently playing on a line with...
Zach Boychuk Claimed by Nashville Predators
Well, that experiment was fun. The Nashville Predators have claimed Zach Boychuk off of waivers.
Boychuk, 23, was Carolina’s first-round pick (14th overall) at the 2008 NHL Entry Draft and appeared in 73 games for the ‘Canes before being acquired off waivers by Pittsburgh in late January.
The former WHL Lethbridge standout then played seven games for Pittsburgh before...
follow the transcendental light
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'...
Malkin returns tonight, but he isn't the only thing returning
So Malkin is back tonight. [ Pens.com ]
But he isn't the only one.
The Penguins Country Club, closed in 2006, is apparently back.
If you remember the good old days the Penguins Country Club was a term coined because the Penguins players basically did whatever they wanted, and endured no accountablity at all thanks to player friendly coaches.
It...
RECAP: Captain's Log. PENS WIN.
Since Malkin and Crosby have been on the Pens' roster, it's usually fallen on Malkin to carry the load when Crosby has been sidelined. The script has been flipped for the time being, and it's Crosby's turn to carry the load without Malkin, who has been diagnosed with a concussion. With the pressure firmly on 87's back, he has to bring it to another level. It&...
Bennett's first NHL goal makes the difference in Pens win
No Geno, no problem. Sidney Crosby scored twice, Beau Bennett added his first of his career, and Marc-Andre Fleury made 27 saves as the Penguins defeated the Lightning 5-3 depsite playing without Evgeni Malkin. The win moved Pittsburgh two points ahead of the New Jersey Devils for the Atlantic Division. Crosby gave the Penguins a 1-0 lead just 1:16 into the opening period. Chris...
