Should we boo Sergei Gonchar?
He deserves it. Let's get that out of the way up front. Sergei Gonchar has earned the animosity of Ottawa Senators fans. That much is clear, because he has earned it not with incompetence, but with perhaps the most egregious insult a multimillionaire playing a game can offer those who pay his...
Five players who must step up - revisited
Prior to the start of the season, I published a list of five players who I felt had to raise their game if the Ottawa Senators were going to make the playoffs for the year. This list was not intended to question their ability to do so, but merely point out my belief that the team's fortunes were...
Trials and tribulations of Pittsburgh's power play
The Pittsburgh Penguins' power play has been under ample scrutiny throughout the season. Much of the inability to execute earlier in the season was attributed to Pitt's top-two point men, Ryan Whitney and Sergei Gonchar, being injured and out of the lineup. When Whitney returned to the ice on...
St. Geno drives the snakes (and Thrashers) into the ocean...Pens win 6-2.
Who would have guessed six weeks ago that the two hottest teams in the Eastern Conference would meet when the Atlanta Thrashers would visit the PIttsburgh Penguins? No one. Still, Atlanta was riding a season long winning streak, they came in meaning business- even if noted Penguin killer Ilya...
The first five games of the Dan Bylsma era
By the numbers: Record: 3-1-1 --That's 7 out of a possible 10 points. If a team earned points at that rate, they'd have 114 points in an 82 game season. Unfortunately, you don't get to play 40% of your games against the Islanders so maybe we'll file that under the "it's too early" category...
"Don't go sucking each other's popsicles just yet"
I just got done watching the surprisingly funny sitcom 30 Rock, so I thought it would be fun to compile a pro and con list for the Stars’ highest scoring forward Mike Ribeiro. (I'd love feeedback on anything I miss, since I'm merely hitting the highlights) The reason is pretty obvious: the Stars...
Sergei Gonchar discusses Alexei Cherepanov's passing
Alexei Cherepanov, New York Rangers' 17th overall pick in 2007 Draft This one kinda ties in with JasonB's post regarding the passing of New York Rangers prospect Alexei Cherepanov. Again, this hardly pertains to the Penguins, but in the grand scheme of the sport it is definitely a depressing...
Sergei Gonchar and Ryan Whitney top Hockey News list of injuries
Sarge and Whit This isn't exactly the kind of list you want to brag about. The Hockey News listed their top 10 biggest preseason injuries and the Penguins unfortunately take home both the number one and number two spots. At the second spot is Ryan Whitney, a defenseman who no doubt got under...
Sergei Gonchar out Pittsburgh Penguins lineup for up to six months
Metallica said it best on track 2 of their 1991 release The Black Album: You know it's sad but true Indeed it is. By now you've heard, read (thanks hockeyjenn) or seen something somewhere, anywhere that mentions Sergei Gonchar's absence from the Penguins' lineup for the next four to six...
Sergei Gonchar out of Pittsburgh Penguins lineup six weeks to...six months??
Unfortunately that is the time frame given by the team in regards to Sergei Gonchar's dislocated shoulder. Six weeks...or six months. The Trib-Review talks it down a bit which, for all intents and purposes, is nice of them. I don't know if six months is likely, especially when you consider how...
