A Forced Retirement Could Have Benefits for Crosby
Zehr is a contributing writer for Gold Star Games, your tailgating games company.Crosby watch continues. Should Sidney Crosby’s nagging neck/concussion issues force him into a very early retirement, Sid is in a line for a rather large payday.

Pens’ line experiment could lead to chemistry…and goals
The Penguins are getting a huge boost today against the Jets with the return of Jordan Staal. He’s missed more than a month after a knee-to-knee hit with Mike Rupp and the Pens have missed his defensive help, but even more so, they’ve missed his offense (yea, we’re surprised too).
Staal has missed 20 games and he’s still third on the team with 15 goals behind...

Poll: What should the Penguins do at the trade deadline?
Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.
2%. That’s the percentage of Steeler fans that actually care Arians is gone. This fact seems to underscore the overwhelming apathy towards the situation in general. Two-thirds of the BB&G faithful just does not think this matters. I tend to agree. It...

The 24-year-old skated with his teammates in Montreal for the first time since being forced out of the lineup in early December following a brief return. He has been skating on his own in recent weeks.

This likely means the Penguins are going to get some help soon in terms of injured players returning. Jordan Staal seems to be the most obvious candidate for a return for Saturday’s game against the Winnipeg Jets. Both Staal and Simon...

Is Obstruction Back In Play?
from Josh Yohe of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Welcome to the new NHL, which is beginning to resemble the old NHL.
Scoring is down, and obstruction again is becoming a common element of play. Referees, many Penguins said, are allowing the clutching and grabbing that became ingrained in the game a decade ago to resurface.
The Penguins are particularly unsettled by this because...
