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...

Vokoun's time
In the salary-cap era, it seems really strange to have your team's backup goaltender making $2 million a year, especially when your number-one goalie is making $5 million. The summer following Fleury's collapse in the Flyers series, the memory was still fresh on Ray Shero's mind, and he made a move. He traded for Tomas Vokoun and quickly turned around and signed him to...
Who are these guys wearing Black and Gold and what have they done with the Penguins?
OK, I was wrong. Before the playoffs started, I predicted the Penguins would win their first round series against the Islanders four games to one. After last night’s pathetic excuse of a hockey game, the series is now tied 2-2 and returns back to Pittsburgh for Game 5 Thursday night at the Consol Energy Center.
But was I really wrong? As far as I can tell, the Penguins are...
Penguins Must Play Vokoun in Game 5
During the offseason Pittsburgh Penguins GM Ray Shero signed goaltender Tomas Vokoun for multiple reasons. For the entire 2011-12 NHL season the Penguins did not have a dependable backup for Marc-Andre Fleury, and when he faltered there was no place to go. This was never more evident than the display put on during the terrible [...]
Penguins Postseason: Formidable, but not Invincible
And so it starts.
As we near the beginning of another year of NHL Playoffs with the Penguins facing the Islanders, many of the prognosticators list the Penguins as a strong contender, if not favorite, to win the Stanley Cup.
It's certainly not an outlandish prediction: The Pens went 36-12 in this shortened regular season, not to mention GM Ray Shero bolstering an already...
Penguins Ray Shero for President
Who needs Obamacare? We have Sherocare! The Pittsburgh Penguins GM has done things for the his team that other GM’s should be embarrassed for dreaming about. He is responsible for Fantasy Hockey-like trades for James Neal, Brenden Morrow, Jarome Iginla, and countless others. He has coaxed many free agents to Pittsburgh at low prices and kept [...]
Ray Shero went after Jack Edwards yesterday
So after Jack Edwards made his now famous comments about Matt Cooke in the first period, he had someone to deal with during the first intermission.
Ray Shero.
Via the PG:
Penguins general manager Ray Shero was visibly enraged when he learned of Edwards' comments and confronted him in the first intermission.
Edwards apologized shortly thereafter.
43. Penguins at Bruins.The bWo is back jack! Welcome to the end of the new age
If you're new to DOY, then you have no idea why this is here. We have always equated hockey and wrestling. For some reason, they seem to fit well together. Ever since the Iginla thing went down - the Bruins/Penguins have acted like a WWF storyline so we figured we would actually write it like a WWF storyline. Enjoy today's preview - I worked hard on it, ha.

No Jokin: Penguins’ Jussi for Real
When Penguins GM Ray Shero acquired veteran Jussi Jokinen from Carolina at the trade deadline for a conditional draft pick it almost seemed like an afterthought. After all, Shero had spent the previous week snatching up three of the hottest commodities on the market—Jarome Iginla, Brenden Morrow, and Douglas Murray.
But make no mistake—Jokinen’s the real deal. A quick, versatile...
Pens can clinch Friday night
With a Winnipeg loss Thursday night, the Pens need only to get to overtime Friday night to clinch a playoff berth. There's obviously bigger fish to fry, but we'll never forget the bad times.
Now that the NHL trade deadline has passed, Pens GM Ray Shero can watch his son compete at Nationals. #usahnats2013 twitter.com/USAHMagazine/s…

Penguins Need Malkin More Than Ever
There’s a rather ominous Bible verse in the book of Hosea that warns, “… they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.” While I may be guilty of taking this piece of scripture out of context, it sure seems like an apt description for what has been an exhilarating yet tumultuous couple of weeks for Penguins hockey.
On the plus side, GM Ray Shero acquired a bevy...
Penguins Trade For Jussi Jokinen Add Depth to Already Deep Roster
Going into trade deadline day today you would be hard pressed to find a deeper roster than that of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Their first two lines could fill an All-Star team. Penguins GM Ray Shero added yet another player to the Penguins and once again did it without losing a roster player only a conditional 6th or 7th round pick.
30 year old, 5’11 left wing, Jussi Jokinen...
Penguins' trades put Eastern Conference in a tough spot
Unless a team trades for Wayne Gretzky and the DeLorean, the Pittsburgh Penguins will emerge as the winners of the trade deadline and all moves leading up to it.And unless an Eastern Conference team makes a move within the next two days, fourteen teams not named the Penguins, will be in big trouble down the final stretch. Ray Shero did not make the same mistake as last year, standing...
Trade deadline target: Jaromir Jagr
This post is complete speculation and is not intended to infer that the Rangers have seriously considered Jagr or that any negotiations are underway.
In the wee hours of Thursday morning, Penguins GM Ray Shero was able to snatch Jerome Iginla out from under the Boston Bruins. This acquisition made the Pens incredibly formidable on paper, and took the top RW available off the market...
Like a good neighbor, Ray Shero’s there or Are the 2013 Penguins now the 1927 Yankees?
With rumors flying all over the place that the Boston Bruins had put together a big time trade that would rival or even surpass the two that the Penguins had just made around midnight last night, I can just picture Penguins Assistant Coach Tony Granato running over to Head Coach Dan Bylsma and saying, “Do the jingle, do the jingle” Bylsma then proceeded to sing, “Like a good...
Eric Engels: Montreal, Calgary and Pittsburgh Kick Boston Where it Hurts...
We'll get to the defensive tragedies of last night's game in a minute because the Canadiens deserve some applause for their efforts in Boston, one night after a very tough loss in Pittsburgh.
Speaking of losing to Pittsburgh, it's not often a team gets beat by two opponents in the same night.
Montreal delivered a swift kick to Boston's genitals last night, and...
Q&A with Ray Shero on Iginla Trade
From the Pittsburgh Penguins' Sam Kasan:
Twitter seemed convinced that the Boston Bruins had landed Iginla. Were you following any of that or know about other teams vying for him?
I saw some of that. I never asked Calgary who was involved. I had no idea. It was just what I read or saw. It didn’t really matter what other teams are doing. You have to do what’s best for...
That Time Everyone Thought Iginla Was A Bruin
[Stanley Cup of Chowder]
Just a stunning turn of events overnight. Everyone thought Iginla was a Bruin. Then Ray Shero said no. Now, we look back at those moments when everyone thought Jarome was shipping up to Boston.
Aaron Ward started all of this with a Tweet that he has since deleted. Thankfully, @mandatuckwell did the right thing and screen captured it.
TSN...
The "Praise Ray Shero, Jarome Iginla is a Penguin and it's the Middle of the Night" ...
We know... we know. Never get too high, never get too low.
But then also.....
Yeah... this will take a while to load.
Penguins GM Ray Shero Steals Jarome Iginla While Boston Sleeps
In the biggest craziest trade shock I can remember, Ray Shero just re-united the tandem that led the Canadian Hockey team to the gold medal in Vancouver 2010. Yes, Ray Shero pulled the rug out from under Boston and landed the 2013 trade deadlines biggest prize.
At around midnight NHL.com and TSN had reported Jarome Iginla was traded to the Boston Bruins. Then ESPN, USA Today...
Penguins Playing Musical Chairs with Defensemen
Yesterday morning Ray Shero had eight active defensemen on his roster and one defenseman, Kris Letang, on Injured Reserve. In between then and now defenseman Simon Despres was returned to the WBS Penguins, Kris Letang was taken off IR, Robert Bortuzzo was sent down to the WBS Penguins for “conditioning assignment”, Kris Letang is back on IR this time with a broken foot...
Peter Chiarelli Not Reacting to Penguins’ Moves, But Says Bruins Plan on Improving
The Stanley Cup isn’t won at the trade deadline, but if it was, the Pittsburgh Penguins would be having their names carved into the trophy right now. It isn’t, of course, but that doesn’t mean the Penguins haven’t done a lot to improve their chances of hoisting the Cup come June.
Pittsburgh general manager Ray Shero remains one of the best in the game, and he proved that...
