You Ain’t Shane, You Ain’t Mook – ’19-’20 NHL Team Previews: Pittsburgh Penguins

By Sam Fels September 10, 2019 0

The other dynasty. And one that might be heading the way of the Hawks more than they’d like to admit. It was something of a nothing season in The Burgh, if a 100-point season can be described that way. Maybe it can after the Pittsburgh Penguins turned out to be not much more than cannon […]

You Get What Anybody Gets – Saying Goodbye To The ’18-’19 Penguins

By Sam Fels April 17, 2019 0

And now the Penguins have their own 2017 Predators series. We’re not alone. Two years after their third Cup. Swept out. Looking out of ideas, out of energy, out of speed. Those who had been pillars of historic success simply nowhere to be found. A GM floundering and picking up slow, past-it d-men, holding onto […]

Game #44 – Hawks vs. Penguins Q&A: The Kessel Run In 12 Parsecs

By Sam Fels January 6, 2019 0

The Kessel Run writes for Pensburgh.com. You can follow him on Twitter @Gbehanna. When we last saw the Penguins, they were struggling and just outside the playoff spots. They have ripped off 9 of 10 since. What’s been the difference? I think the biggest difference to the Penguins’ change of play since the Dec. 12 […]

Game #33 – Penguins vs. Hawks Spotlight: Jim Rutherford And The Unbearable Lightness Of Being

By Sam Fels December 12, 2018 0

Perhaps before tonight’s game, or maybe after, or even during given anyone’s urge to actually watch the Hawks these days, Stan Bowman and Jim Rutherford will kick back with a beer and laugh about how similar their situations are. And maybe Stan can prepare Rutherford for what he’s probably in for in a year or […]

Mike Darnay (@MikeDarnay) has been our Penguins friend for a while now. So that’s where we go whenever the black and gold show up. His work can be found at Pensburgh.  Hey look, you guys aren’t very good a couple years after your third Cup either. Is this just the way things go? Partly, I […]

You Share The Same Fate As The People You Hate – ’18-’19 Team Previews: Pittsburgh Penguins

By Sam Fels September 18, 2018 0

It’s kind of startling how quickly you can become an afterthought in the NHL. We’re only a year removed from the Pittsburgh Penguins being two-time defending champs (clap for them) and at times looking like a third was a distinct possibility. But when you finally succumb to the fatigue and your long-time plaything in the […]

You Get What Anyone Gets: Saying Goodbye To The Pittsburgh Penguins

By Sam Fels May 9, 2018 0

All good things… …or whatever this Pittsburgh Penguins thing was the past three seasons. I don’t know what the final epitaph for this era of Penguins hockey should or will read. When you repeat as Cup champs you automatically walk amongst the giants of the past. It’s only been done nine times, to repeat as […]
