In Game 2 of the 2009 Eastern Conference Semi-Finals against the Washington Capitals, both Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin dueled like titans while netting hat tricks. The game was heralded like a...
Ottawa's Craig Anderson has been Vezina worthy against the rest of the league, but the Pittsburgh Penguins have had his number this year.
A lot of fans wondered why Jarome Iginla was skating with Evgeni Malkin in practice yesterday. Why would the coach meddle with successful lines? A look at why it makes sense (which starts and ends with Kunitz and Crosby)
Tidbits about adjustments, Pascal Dupuis, lines, Paul Martin, and how many shots are too many shots?

Keep the foot on the gas. 60 minutes. Go Pens.
A quick look at things going on around the Penguins and Senators as they gear up for Game 1.
It'll be a bold decision, but if the Pens are ever going to go back to Marc-Andre Fleury, they should do it now. Here are some reasons why it could make sense.
The Franchise gets his third award nod of the year after being named a finalist for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy. Crosby has already been named a finalist for the Hart Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award for the 2013 season.

Let's take a look at the New York Islanders' player usage charts for the 2013 season to get a better picture of what Coach Capuano was thinking this season and how his players responded to his...
Douglas Murray is Pittsburgh's slowest skater. So why is he the only one who has contained the Islanders' speedy forecheck?
The Pens are talking the talk, saying all the right things, but their decision making and rising to the level of desperation that the New York Islanders have shown is still lacking. Can the Pens match that before another playoff series is extended
