Ray Shero is a Finalist for the General Manager of the Year Award
We totally forgot this was even an award.
From the NHL:
Shero made the seventh season of his tenure in Pittsburgh an active one. Unable to sign Jordan Staal, he traded the third-line center to the Carolina Hurricanes for his replacement, the solid Brandon Sutter, and also acquired backup goalie Tomas Vokoun. And then at the NHL Trade Deadline, he acquired forwards Jarome...

Penguins leaders of the pack; A look at Pittsburgh's leading numbers thus far
Seven Penguins have appeared in all 43 games for the Pens: Chris Kunitz, Pascal Dupuis, Matt Cooke, Brandon Sutter, Craig Adams, Brooks Orpik and Tanner Glass.
Kunitz (21) and Dupuis (20) are the teamâs...
Morrow flexes again for Penguins
Brenden Morrow scored two goals for the second straight game and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Montreal Canadiens 6-4 on Wednesday night to move closer to clinching the top seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Brandon Sutter added two goals for Pittsburgh, and newly acquired Jarome Iginla and Doug Murray also scored for the Penguins, who had little trouble with the Canadiens...
Pens inch closer to top seed in the East behind pair from Morrow; Sutter
The Penguins are on such a roll, right now, it doesn't seem to matter who is missing from the lineup. Once again, Pittsburgh won in dominating fashion despite missing their two top players, top winger, and best defenseman. Instead, the trade acquisitions went to work and contributed six points and four of the Penguins' six goals. Brenden Morrow score two while Jarome Iginla...

Pens rally for 11th straight win
Brandon Sutter snapped a tie early in the third period and Tomas Vokoun was sharp in making 33 saves for Pittsburgh on Friday night, helping the Penguins rally for a 4-2 victory over the New York Islanders and stretch their winning streak to 11 games.
With the score tied 2-2, Sutter took a pass from Matt Cooke in front off a 2-on-1 rush and scored past goalie Evgeni Nabokov 1:46...
Penguins 4, Islanders 2
Tomas Vokoun was sharp in making 33 saves, and Brandon Sutter snapped a tie early in the third period for the Pittsburgh Penguins, who rallied for a 4-2 victory over the New York Islanders that stretched their winning streak to 11 games on Friday night.
Sutter took a pass from Matt Cooke in front off a 2-on-1 rush and scored past goalie Evgeni Nabokov 1:46 into the third period...
RECAP: UndefEaton. PENS WIN.
The Penguins are making the rest of the Eastern Conference look like a joke. They're winning high-scoring games, low-scoring games, and blowouts. They're winning games against the top teams and the bottom-dwellers.
They've now won 9 straight, a streak that started with the Brandon Sutter game up in Montreal. That was also the first game Mark Eaton dressed...
‘Trader’ Ray
from Joe Starkey of the Pittsburgh Triibune-Review,
At some point late in the Penguins' thrilling victory over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday, it struck me: Ray Shero is the best trader in the NHL.
What's more, he is the best trader in Penguins history — better than Craig Patrick.
Even before Brandon Sutter's dramatic game-winner, a quick glance at the Penguins...
Penguins-Maple Leafs Preview
The Pittsburgh Penguins have prevailed in a number of close games during their season-high win streak, including last weekend's visit to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
With Evgeni Malkin likely out for a third straight game, the Penguins will try to get past the slumping Maple Leafs again and earn a seventh consecutive victory Thursday night.
Pittsburgh (19-8-0) has won by one goal...
RECAP: Suddenly Sutter. PENS WIN.
Mike Lange's calls from Benstonium.com
The Eastern Conference's two top bananas got together, and it was fun to watch. We have a feeling we'll be seeing something similar in late May.
This was a big test for the Pens, and they passed, even without Evgeni Malkin. Hell, they did it without Crosby getting on the scoresheet, too....
Broadcast Blooper: ROOT Sports Pittsburgh isn't sure which Sutter plays for the Penguins
Poor Brandon Sutter. The Pittsburgh forward has been compared to his father, Brent, throughout his young NHL career. Will Brandon be as good as Brent? Which will have more points in the NHL when all is said and done? Brent hoisted the Cup twice, will Brandon? You get the idea.
Unfortunately for Brandon, these comparisons never stop - even when he was named the Player of the Game...
Brandon Sutter leads 3-2 Penguins comeback over Bruins
Unstoppable force, meet immovable object.The Boston Bruins held the Pittsburgh Penguins in check for the first 53 minutes of the game. But a goal from Chris Kunitz opened the flood gates and the Penguins closed out the final period with three goals in a span of three minutes and fifteen seconds and their sixth straight win.Billed as a possible preview to the Eastern Conference Final...

pick yourself up off that floor
Steigerwald has set the tone early by calling Chris Kunitz "one of the hottest guys in the world."
And I don't want to think about such rhetoric because I, friends, have a stake in this game beyond the usual: I work in Boston, and for the first time in my life I work in an office with people who care about Boston sports. I want my entry to be triumphant. I wanna tell...
Sutter leads Pens rally over Bruins
Brandon Sutter scored twice in the final seven minutes to cap a furious rally and the Pittsburgh Penguins slipped past the Boston Bruins 3-2 on Tuesday night.
Chris Kunitz started Pittsburgh's third-period surge with his 18th goal of the season and Sutter beat Boston's Anton Khudobin twice in less than four minutes, including the game-winner with 2:03 remaining.

Bruins Run Out of Steam, Drop ‘Schedule Struggle’ Despite Anton Khudobin’s Best Efforts (Video)
At some point, it seemed inevitable that the Pittsburgh Penguins would mount some sort of a comeback against the Bruins on Tuesday. The hope for Bruins fans just seemed to be that it would come up short.
Unfortunately, it didn’t, as Brandon Sutter scored twice in the third period to lift Pittsburgh to a come-from-behind 3-2 win over Anton Khudobin and the Bruins. Playing their...
Mistake city: Root sports with a massive error
Probably the biggest win of the year. One of the best performances by Brandon Sutter. And Root sports screwed it up, badly:

Lightning at Penguins game preview
Game time: 7:30 p.m.

The Pittsburgh Penguins managed to add to their win streak over the Tampa Bay Lightning last month despite playing their first game without Evgeni Malkin.
Malkin has resumed practicing, but it's unknown if he'll return from a concussion for Monday night's rematch with the slumping Lightning.
Malkin has missed four straight games...
About Last Night…Pens, Habs Combine for 13
Brandon Sutter’s second goal of the game came 52 seconds into overtime and gave the Pittsburgh Penguins a wild 7-6 win over the Montreal Canadiens.
Matt Cooke and Chris Kunitz each scored twice for Pittsburgh while Sidney Crosby also lit the lamp. Brian Gionta has two goals and was the only multiple goal scorer for Montreal.
SPIN: Goaltending be damned! This was all about the offense...
Penguins win wild one in Montreal
Brandon Sutter's second goal of the game 52 seconds into overtime lifted the Pittsburgh Penguins to a wild 7-6 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night.
Sutter took a pass from Simon Despres on a rush, stepped around Max Pacioretty, and beat goalie Carey Price with a high shot to help Pittsburgh end a two-game skid and avoid being swept on a three-game road trip...
