Penguins - Anaheim: breaking down the trade

Fri, 27 Feb 2009 23:27:34 -0500

Trading Ryan Whitney comes as no surprise.? While he has put up some nice numbers in the past and he?s still a young guy, the Penguins have 2 younger defensemen (Letang and Goligoski) who have just as much skill and just as much upside?if not more?than Whitney does.? This made him expendable.? ...

Penguins Face Tough December Schedule

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 21:42:29 -0500

After a great start to the season, the Pittsburgh Penguins enter the month of December with a 14-6-3 record having garnered 31 of 46 possible points so far this season (67%). This puts them on pace for a 110-point season. The Penguins hold 4th place in the Eastern Conference where they trail the streaking New York Rangers and Boston Bruins by 5-points for the top spot in the East. With 1-game in hand against the Bruins and 3-games in hand against the Rangers, the Penguins are in a good position given their slow starts of the past few seasons. It is particularly impressive given that the team exchanged a number of role players in the off-season, has had its 2-top defensemen on extended injured reserve, and has been playing without its top goaltender for the past couple of weeks. Add to that the fact that Sidney Crosby is just now starting to roll, the Penguins 3rd line has found some awesome chemistry, and Ryan Whitney will be rejoining the team soon, and there is a lot to look forward to. So what lies ahead in December? Follow the link to find out....

Ryan Whitney Sidelined for 3+ Months

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 10:14:11 -0500

In a surprise development, Pittsburgh Penguins' defenseman Ryan Whitney underwent surgery on Friday to correct a left foot misalignment that he has secretly been dealing with for some time. The procedure, an osteotomy, is a surgical operation whereby bone is cut to shorten, lengthen, or change its alignment. It usually involves taking out a wedge of bone near a joint to correct the alignment and alleviate pain. The typical recovery time for a procedure like this is 3-5 months, which means (at a minimum) Ryan Whitney won't play for the Penguins until mid-November.

Penguins promote Goligoski from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton; Time for Whitney scratching ??

Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:39:01 -0500

The Penguins will once again have seven defensemen on their 23 man roster, as Pens' prospect Alex Goligoski has been promoted. Very interesting timing on this promotion. Coach Michel Therrien absolutely blasted Ryan Whitney for his "unacceptable" performance against the Devils last night.

Should The Penguins Trade Sidney Crosby?

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 03:50:18 -0500

Sidney Crosby is arguably the best player in the NHL and should be for years to come. So the Pittsburgh Penguins would surely be crazy for thinking of trading the young superstar. Or would they? Could the Penguins actually improve their chances of capturing Lord Stanley's Cup by trading away the NHL's shining star? It's not as crazy of a thought as you might think.

Pens Fall to Avalanche 3-2

Fri, 02 Nov 2007 04:38:55 -0500

The Pittsburgh Penguins lost a hard fought battle against the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night, despite taking a 2-0 lead after the first period on a pair of goals by Sidney Crosby. The Avalanche, winning by a score of 3-2, kept their home unbeaten streak alive at 6 games to match a Franchise record set set in 1994-95, while the team was still in Quebec. Unlike many games so far this season, the Penguins came out looking very much ready to play in the first period. Despite being outshot 12-9 in the period and having to kill off a lengthy 5-on-3 on penalties to Staal and Crosby, goaltender Dany Sabourin really shined and kept the puck out of the Penguins net. The Pens bounced back after the shorthanded situation and were able to net 2-goals....click the link to read the rest of the article.

Fleury Returns to Form, Shuts Out Rangers 1-0

Wed, 24 Oct 2007 02:52:50 -0500

The Pittsburgh Penguins put their third consecutive win together tonight, thanks to the sharp play of goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury. Fleury made 36-saves against the struggling New York Rangers and posted his 1st shutout of the season, and the 8th of his career. The Penguins, who were outshot 36-22, should be thankful that Fleury was in net as he allowed them to steal a win on a lone goal by Evgeni Malkin. For the full game recap, follow the link.....
