What Is Wrong with Pittsburgh Penguins Marc-André Fleury? Source: Bleacher Report
Just what is going on with “Flower”? Marc-Andr Fleury is one of the more divisive players in the NHL today. Divisive not because of his personality or attitude, but because of his play. Fleury has never been a stats guy. He has not posted stellar save percentages. He has never wowed anyone with his GAA. However, the one department that Marc-Andr Fleury has nearly always impressed is in the win column. There are two camps in the MAF battle. The Critics/Haters, who have always believed that Fleury surrenders too many soft goals, and has been the beneficiary of playing with a talented cast of skaters. Then there are the Loyalists/Apologists. This group clings to the Stanley Cup runs, his incredible athleticism, Pittsburgh’s offensive-focused style of play and the “Secret Service Save.” Regardless to which camp you belong, Marc-Andr Fleury has begun the ’10-’11 season with a 1-4-0 record, a slightly scary 3.41 GAA, and an abysmal .861 save percentage.

Inked Heads: Kelly With Old School Winter Classic Penguin

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

Was saving this one till Penguins unveiled their Winter Classic uniforms for this season. Turns out today is the day! The uniform features Penguins’ original logo from the inaugural 1967-68 season – although it was never worn on a uniform. Its a skating penguin, wearing a scarf! Well, guess what Kelly has hiding up her shirt? Litterally!

Compare that to this to get clearer picture …

A whole lotta awesome! I am excited!

If you have or know someone who has Pittsburgh Penguins related tattoo(s) and would like to share it on this website drop me a line with a pic at info@penshead.com.

Pittsburgh Penguins Fans Vs. Philadelphia Flyers Fans: How Different Are They? Source: Bleacher Report
The Pittsburgh Penguins and the Philadelphia Flyers will play each other for the third time in the young NHL season this Friday October 29 at the CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh.

Is it because the Pens fans feel the Flyers fans are classless and obnoxious? Is it because the Flyers fans think the Pens are a bunch of “divers” and “cry-babies” who complain when they don’t get their way? Is it because the Flyers try to bully and intimidate everyone they play against and then can’t believe when the officials have the audacity to put them in the penalty box?

Pens Win Plus Gera Birman With Denis Malkin

Friday, October 22nd, 2010

i dont feel like doing full game recap today in fact i dont even feel like capitalizing any of my word or using any punctuations in fact if i could leave out dots above letter ‘i’ and stuff i would have done that its friday what do you want from me question mark

the fact is most of my energy was spent watching what was probably the most exciting hockey game of the season so far

crosby and malkin put the fate of this game on their shoulders and delivered big time fact is almost half the shots on goal out of total 38 came from double headed monster

fleury made a few big saves but i wouldnt say he was spectacular he couldnt stop first shot on goal just 53 seconds into the game provided kunitz left a guy open right in front of the net second goal was a pp goal that came somewhere from the blue line area with no real screen in front of fleury third goal beats fleury glove side not even going to talk about dupuis save that could have ended this game in overtime but whatever win is a win ill take it

thank god for dupuis and legame in ot

i just want to know one thing what was going through malkins head as he approached nashville net and then did that 360 degrees move question mark

and now the moment you have all been waiting for denis malkin and Gera Birman … capitalizing those because i have respect for the man

thanks Gera for posting these

lets go pens
