Penguins links:

Having multiple 100+ scorers doesn't always equal playoff success, but this is still a great look at it [Empty Netters]

If you wanted Penguin playoff tickets, I hope you already bought them [Tribune Review]

Have you ever been experienced? The Penguins have [Faceoff Factor]

Craig Adams (#1) and Tyler Kennedy (#7) are on a dubious list: active forwards that have played the most playoff games without scoring a playoff goal (hat-tip JP). [Hockey-reference.com]

A great tradition is coming up tomorrow: where the Pens award fans their jerseys...Pity the poor kid who destined to "win" Mathieu Garon's sweater [Penguins.nhl.com]

Speaking of tomorrow night's opponent, the Islanders rolled over 9-0 last night..Think they got it in them again? [Lighthouse Hockey]

Prized BU prospect Matt Gilroy credits his teammate (and Pens prospect) Brian Strait for a lot of his success...Hey Gilroy, no reason to break that connection, so sign with the Pens! [Puck Daddy]

Eric Tangradi is a beast. He scored 4 goals and 1 assists last night in his team's 5-2 win in the OHL playoffs (hat-tip to commentor pnguinsfan8771) [London Free Press]

Down on the Farm links:

Tim Wallace tore a dude's spleen [[The Sports Blog/ Patriot News]

One more point with four games and The Baby Pens are the first AHL team to have four consectutive 100 point seasons...Look who the common link between all of those teams is [[Penguins Insider]

A look back at maybe the best penalty line in history for one occurrence:

a minor for high-sticking, a minor for unsportsmanlike conduct, two fighting majors, one 10-minute misconduct and four game misconducts. [Citizens Voice]

Various:

Barry Melrose a man to emulate? Uhh, ok [Deadspin]

A draft eligible prospect, Eric Gelinas, blogs about the end of his season [The Hockey News]

The Capitals aren't happy with the Thrashers poking fun at Alex Ovechkin's acting abilities..Maybe they should be more concerned about their goalie folding like a cheap suit every spring [Puck Daddy]

The Montreal Canadiens might not be up for sale...Yet [TSN: Dreger]

The top five hits of the season doesn't include Brooks Orpik, but Evgeni Malkin makes an appearance [Kuklas Korner]

Cory Clouston is now the full-time coach of the Ottawa Senators. The players responded well to Clouston, going 19-10-3 when their year was lost, so it'll be interesting to see how he does in his first full season [TSN]

i really liked the article on Matt Gilroy. I wonder what NHL city he will be playing into next season.

The rumors is Toronto is the front-runner.

Which makes sense: they have the cap room and surely the roster space to plug Gilroy in for the NHL.

Keep in mind that with Gilroy’s age, he is not subject to the limited entry level contract that most prospects start with. He can sign for $4 million if some team will give it to him (though that is unlikely).
