Does Paul Martin Need to Sit? Follow me on Twitter @JohnToperzer The shutdown line of Paul Martin and Zbynek Michalek was shut down Sunday after the Pens allowed two goals to Steve Downie in the span of 11 seconds. A day after allowing five goals to the Winnipeg Jets, coach Dan Bylsma mixed and matched defensive combos for much of Sunday’s 4-2 victory against TampaÂ...

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

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...

STATS: The inevitable Paul Martin vs Sergei Gonchar comparsion

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...

RECAP: Front of the line. PENS WIN.

If the Penguins first line was cocaine, it'd probably be listed as the cause of death on Whitney Houston's death certificate. Kunitz-Malkin-Neal accounted for 19 points over the weekend. The Pens again went down 2-0 in this one but stormed back with 4 unanswered. Overall solid weekend. Took 4 points from garbage Eastern Conference teams. Plus...

Jags on the scene: Penguins crush Lightning

Let’s all admit it was very nice of the Winnipeg Jets to treat Saturday’s game against the Penguins like an all-star game. The lackluster defense made it easy for the Pens to overcome the early 2-0 deficit, so easy that they decided to give it another try on Sunday against the Lightning. Once again the Pens were able to storm back against a weak opponent en route to a 4-2 victory...

Apparently on the NHL gamecenter's ( not center ice) feed Ray Ferraro of TSN didn't know to be quiet on commercial breaks. Pension Plan Puppets caught him saying something bizarre. And reader Bob B. got him talking **** on Paul Martin:

Time off can only help Martin

Last year’s none-shall-pass defense combo constructed by Ray Shero that offseason should be back together for the first time since Nov. 26. Zbynek Michalek made his second and hopefully last return from the injury list two days before Christmas and Paul Martin should be making his return to the ice tomorrow against the Rangers. We’re not really sure what’s been...

RECAP: See you next year. PENS LOSE.

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...
