Penguins Prospect Scott Harrington Is A Scary Dentist, Gave People HIV
Man that was a pretty heavy title.
The Pens are down a top blue line prospect what with Joe Morrow being dealt for non-related Stars captain Brenden Morrow. We say "down" in only a certain sense, as the pipeline still holds Simon Despres, Robert Bortuzzo, Scott Harrington, Brian Dumoulin, Olli Maaty and Derrick Pouliot.
Well one of those prospects, Scott Harrington...

Video: Penguins defenseman throws down alley-oop dunk
It’s been a pretty good year for rookie Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Robert Bortuzzo. He scored his first NHL goal back in February, and then there’s this little gem of a video clip. He and some teammates are getting some shoot-around time at an empty Wells-Fargo Arena (home of rival Philadelphia Flyers, and the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers), and then the 6’4″ Bortuzzo throws...

Soon. #CorvoFace
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...

Carter and Bortuzzo drop the gloves four seconds into Devils-Penguins matchup
What do you usually get when NHL division rivals battling for first place meet on back-to-back days? Usually a lot of aching players with even sorer dispositions.
On Sunday night, New Jersey Devils' Ryan Carter and Pittsburgh Penguins Robert Bortuzzo didn't waste any time getting that fact across by dropping the gloves and tossing their helmets just four seconds after the...

The Pittsburgh Penguins were lackluster in their first two home games of the season, being outscored 9-3 in the process.

ROOT, MSG, NHLN-US, RDS - 7:00 pm/et
Madison Square Garden - New York City, NY

It's also the 30 Rock series finale tonight so this game had...
Tuesdays With Stoosh 1.15.2013
A conundrum, if you will...
If the Penguins have one major question mark heading into this season, it’s what the team brings back on the blueline. Kris Letang, Paul Martin and Brooks Oprik were 1-2-3 in terms of minutes per game among Pens defensemen last year and they all return. The trade of Zbynek Michalek back to Phoenix bumps Matt Niskanen into the top...
For the time being, no NHL season. Now what?
It’s taking a toll on all of us. Between reading the news everyday about the chasm currently between the NHLPA and the owners, to seeing players leave for the KHL, to watching every day pass where a few months ago you anticipated your favorite NHL team to be gearing up for preseason, its bothersome.
What is our solace? How are we supposed to occupy our time with some 82 games from...
Penguins re-up last RFA’s Tangradi, Bortuzzo & Grant
Ray Shero got some work done today for the first time since stock piling talent in WBS. It looks like the Penguins may have just inked a winger for Sid…maybe. Per the Pen’s site, Eric Tangradi has himself a new one-year deal worth $726,000, and blue liners Rob Bortuzzo and Alex Grant earned themselves 1-year/$525K deals. They’re all two-way deals too.

Pens Regular Season Report Card
We’re less than 36 hours away from the start of the playoffs and anyone that knows anything about hockey can tell you that as soon as the postseason starts, it’s a whole new ball puck game. Why? Because it’s the Cup, that’s why.
So before the Pens look for big banner No. 4 to hang at Consol, we thought we’d look back on the regular season and see how each of the Pens...

Buffalo Sabres are Cure for Penguins’ Struggles
Saturday looked like it was going to be more of the usual
for the Penguins. First, News came out that Sidney Crosby and Robert Bortuzzo
were being added to the injured reserve list. Next, word spread that the lone
Penguins’ defenseman to play all year, Paul Martin, was going to be out
day-to-day with a lower body injury; bring on defenseman #12 of the year, Carl

In which the little lights, they're not twinkling...
Three short weeks ago, we were all celebrating this...
We had eight games of Crosby. Two goals. Ten assists. Twelve points. Plus-seven. Damn. We all joked that Pat Lafontaine was going to start giving advice to Phil Kessel about holding off Penguins captains in scoring races.

From Mike W.
Here is Zac Rinaldo targetting Robert Bortuzzo's head.
So far Rinaldo has not faced the league and most likely he won't. Apparently King Shanaban is too making out with himself to care.

Pens are running out of blue liners
With the talent the Penguins have on defense, it was bad enough that Robert Bortuzzo was even patrolling the blue line. But injuries will do that to a team.
So it’s even worse that Bortuzzo is out now too. He’ll join Kris Letang, Zbynek Michalek and Deryk Engelland on the Pens injury report with concussion like symptoms. And don’t forget that Ben Lovejoy has a broken wrist...
