Dr. J Highlights Vs. 1980-1986 Utah Jazz Including Dunk Over 7’4″ Mark Eaton (Video)
Last week, NBATV aired the Dr. J documentary “The Doctor” which refreshed NBA enthusiasts’ memories of why Dr. J was such a legend not just in the NBA, but with the ABA, as well. That documentary has spearheaded other individuals in finding and releasing “rare” footage of the Dr. as seen in the video below.

Pens Swept In 4 By Boston: Now What...???
((HT: NHL on NBCSN/CBC))
For the first time in over thirty years, the Pittsburgh Penguins have been swept in a playoff series- losing 1-0 in Game 4 in the Eastern Conference Finals to the Boston Bruins.
Tuukka Rask only gave up two goals in the four games in the series. And the Pittsburgh Penguins seemed stymied (and that's putting it lightly) when their high-flying offense...

are we god now?
We've said it all about this series. All that's left is to let the team speak. And some really bold ESPN statements.
ORLY LET'S FIND OUT.
Mattie Cooke undresses the D, Mark Eaton is a gorgeous human and makes a pass that flashes 08/09 when his knees stopped exploding, and Morrow takes it and gets it in off of his skate maybe a little. There's really no motion...
Daniel Alfredsson loses a skate blade during Game 4 versus Pittsburgh (VIDEO)
YouTube
You hear of hockey players losing “an edge” all the time. Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson lost both edges Wednesday night in Ottawa as his skate blade fell off during Game 4 against the Penguins.
Alfredsson hit Pittsburgh’s Mark Eaton behind the net when the heel of his skate got wedged between the ice and the boards. The blade was knocked right out of his skate...
Daniel Alfredsson loses skate blade, hops on one leg to bench
Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson was forechecking in the Pittsburgh Penguins zone when he collided with defenseman Mark Eaton and his foot slammed into the boards. The force caused the steel of his skate to pop out and resulted in some comical video of Alfredsson falling on the ice and then hopping to the bench. Alfredsson had no clue the steel had popped out of his...
Stanley Cup Playoffs: R2G3 – Penguins at Senators
The Pittsburgh Penguins hope to continue momentum after a Game Two tilt that saw Pens captain, Sidney Crosby notch his second career post-season hat trick. Pittsburgh will once again be going with Tomas Vokoun between the pipes.
The Senators are adding a spark to their lineup, as they will have Jason Spezza back for tonight’s game. Spezza missed most of the regular season with...
Ex-Preds in the playoffs

Since the Nashville Predators are out of the playoffs, many fans, including myself, like to observe the progress of former-Predators to see if they have become better players or not. After one round of hockey complete, there remains two more rounds and the Stanley Cup Finals before the best team of the NHL raises the coveted Cup for their fan...
Penguins Playoffs: A Tale of Two Teams
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness….”
This opening line of “A Tale of Two Cities” was quite possibly written for the 2012-13 Pittsburgh Penguins playoff team. At times the Penguins were the dominant team that everyone expected them to be, and other times they looked like they were overwhelmed and...

Paradise in Pittsburgh
Fans across the middle of Pennsylvania woke up Thursday morning with more than a smile on their face. They most likely were beaming at the fact that GM Ray Shero pulled off another masterful trade in time for a playoff push. From the man that reeled in Marian Hossa, Pascal Dupuis, and Bill Guerin, S hero managed to trade this year for former Dallas captain Brenden Morrow, big-bodied...
we be bakin'
Adding to this streak would really just be like, icing on the life cake right about now.
It's been a long winter, but really, this streak has us breezin' through it.
If you're thinking about the "but what about when..." shut up.
Never think those thoughts again.
I might be fevered, so stick with me through this.

Throwback: 7’4 Mark Eaton blocks a dunk without jumping
Is this not the sickest thing you have ever seen?
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...
Penguins Update: Eaton at Home on Penguins’ Defense
The Penguins didn’t hold a special press conference to announce his signing. Nor did his arrival on February 25 create a huge media buzz. Yet when the final puck drops on this lockout-shortened season the addition of defenseman Mark Eaton may well be regarded as one of GM Ray Shero’s savviest moves.
Eaton isn’t the type of player who sticks out on the ice. You don’t see him...
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: 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...

That…that’s Mark Eaton’s music!
OK, yes, we know…the return of Mark Eaton to Pittsburgh is little more than a depth signing. At 35 years of age, Eaton is certainly no longer the top-four caliber defenseman who rode shotgun when Shero moved from Nashville to Pittsburgh to take over the Pens in 2006 (h/t to @demangone, who suggested he may have been...
