Reirden Breaks Out Skill Drills To Improve Help Improve Fundamentals Source: penguins.nhl.com
DETROIT – When the Penguins promoted Todd Reirden from head coach of their minor-league affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton to assistant coach on Dan Bylsma’s staff this summer, it allowed the team to have a full-time assistant coach with National Hockey League playing experience on defense for the first time since Randy Hillier in 2005-06. With a mere days remaining in the team’s 2010 training camp, it has been easy to see Reirden’s addition paying dividends along the team’s blue line.

People still think Fleury sucks Source: The Pensblog
While browsing the blog The Puck Stops Here, we took a pit stop in their Atlantic Division preview. “In goal, the Penguins will play Marc-Andre Fleury most nights. This former first overall draft pick has been unable to live up to his potential. He turns 26 this year and is running out of chances, but a big year is still not entirely impossible. Pittsburgh should be the class of the division even if Fleury does not provide much in goal. They have too much talent in front of him.” These “expectations” are ridiculous. … Go here to read the rest

5idney Cr0(+1)sby Sucks In Last Game Of The Season

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Following my return from Pittsburgh was a relatively quiet game on Saturday against the Atlanta Thrashers. 1-0 Pens lost. WBS Pens clinched a playoff spot night before beating Albany River Rats! WBS Pens first playoff game takes place on Wed at 7:00 PM against the River Rats. Interestingly enough at exactly the same time Pittsburgh Penguins will be facing Ottawa Sens. So put down your scissors and your razors and let the playoff games begin!

More about last game of the season which took place in NY against the Islanders. First off let me say that if NY Islanders are missing two Chipotle T-Shirts from giveaway for section 330 or two cups of dots icecream from unattended and unlocked concession stand well then MouthFullOfTang and I have no clue what happened to them.

Judging from all the Penguins jerseys i saw around arena on Sunday this was truly a Penguin Invasion. Pens fans from all over gather to witness Crosby take a poop on Alex Ovechkin and win that Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy.

Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy

Grats Sidney!

What happened to Ovie!? Do you remember not that long ago when he was leading NHL in at least 3 stats? Most Goals, Most Points, Highest + rating? Looking at the stats for the end of the season Ovie is nowhere to be found. Good to see he really stepped up his game.

Anyway, we had to get ready for this memorable moment in Sid’s career and whats better than to create a Sidney Crosby Sucks sign!?

thanks to @mrsletang @kayewtie for the pic above!

When Sid scored his 50th goal we pulled out this bad boy and started chanting Crosby Sucks … Nassau Coliseum was stunned!

As a tradition we bring you the best of  hockey on Long Island in this opening ceremony: Ice Girls and EVGENI MALKIN!!!

Worth mentioning that Eric Tangradi was playing like a beast. Even though he was pointless he played hard and stood out during the game on many occasions. Good job Eric!

Leo with the game winner in OT  continues to be hot hot hot! Lets hope he can bring this momentum over to playoffs.

Eric Godard Is a Fighter and a Lover …

I had front row seats for this game and received warm welcome from the photographers. When their heads or butt cracks were not in the way i was able to snap some quality shots. Enjoy!

JStaal playoff beard check!

Tanger playoff beard check!

BillyG playoff beard check!

Massive Johnson signed contract extension for two more years!

Jay McKee playoff stubble check!

Maxime Talbot playoff beard check!

tecmo from psamp.com cheering his heart out, playoff hair check!

nice stache

See all pictures here.

Special thanks to Kristiana B. (right) who was at the game for donating towards my playoff beard.
You can too here.

Come join NYC Penguins Meetup group at Foleys for the first game of the playoffs tomorrow!

Pittsburgh Penguins vs New York Rangers – 01-25-2009 – Blog In Pictures

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Ohh Say Can You See …

MSG seemed somewhat depressed and down last night. Its like they knew they had no chance against the Penguins. The whole night i was trying to recall how the “Lets Go Rangers” chant goes but no one would help. They wouldn’t even talk sh*t unless they were confronted first. SAD Sad sad times for New York.

Clever Old Man! Now Sit Down … Shut Up … And Watch Your Team Lose.

Our seats surrounded by Rangers fans … lucky jolly fat guy sitting right next to us was undercover Detroit fan with his Ranger buddy, but he swore to cheer for any team playing Rangers … guess he was on our side. Luckily right in front of us was a sign from Dad. We knew we were going to win now!

Another old man to my right … “Since when does Staal play on the same line as Sid?”

Do you see Bill Guerin on the line up or did you miss the Penguins scratches for tonights game, old man? Don’t you have something better to do like go pick out a coffin for yourself?

2 min 47 seconds into the game …  Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins’ Chris Conner wearing number 23 took away Rangers will to live. On our feet … “LETS GO PENS!!!” chants … all Ranger fans turn around and stare like there is a naked woman on a pole. Yes I like my team … Yes I cheer when they score … Yes you can suck my … moving on … 1-0

About 3 min later Eric Godard … down … takes him about 5 min to get back to the bench with apparent knee injury. After that …. Yawn … till Dubinsky goes to the box. Penalty killed Pens generate very little on the PP.

First intermission … Pittsburgh Penguins NYC Meetup Group gathers around and blocks halls of MSG. Thats right gotta pay a toll to pass us … THIS IS NY … WE TOLL EVERYTHING! Back to our seats … on the way not a single comment from Rangers fans … sad. I almost wanted to start something but i was with a lady.

During warm-ups … MouthFullOfTang and usbzoso … notice 23 bottom left

Second period … God is not on our side anymore … and has not returned to the bench. Damn it!

I told my jew friend and his AK27 buddy to start praying! However, it does not help!

Who Said Jews Don’t Like Hockey!?

Some minutes later … MAF … shows NY what Statue Of Libery really looks like …

Some more minutes later … Geno to the box …

Rangers can’t generate anything … Geno comes out of the box … Sid feeds him the puck … Geno can’t bury it!

13:04 into second …

2nd almost over … and Tanger almost drops the gloves next to boards … everyone on their feet, cant see whats going on … Jumbotron?

MouthFullOfTang spots a camera guy wearing Rastafari hat … i snap a pic … holy crapsicles … Ray Shero right next to him!

2nd intermission … perfect chance for a beer run … i grab two in authentic Rangers cups … its spewing foam … i am forced to lick it off … wondering how come the Bud Light taste sooo good? Later on after finishing my beer i realize … it wasn’t the beer it was the cup … apparently Rangers beer cups are made in Warren, PA!

According to EmptyNetters … during 2nd intermission … Versus announcer Darren Elliot decides to do an impromtu Elton John impression

I am thinking Thank God he didn’t try Billy Joel impression because he’d have to get boozed up, get into a car, and hit something.

3rd period … Rags fans crying about refs handing out everything to Pens …. ummm how about playing short handed for at least 6 min … SHUT YOUR TRAP!

Penalties are up … Rags still haven’t scored shit … i yell out on top of my lungs … “KILLED IT!!!”

About 4 min later … I told the Jewish guy to pray harder damn it … Russian guy scored his second of the game … i knew this kid had potential when i saw him during pre-season.

Dude in front of me … gets trashed and starts waving like a retard … I am asking him why are you waving? Without going into too much details … he admits he is just retarded … too bad his friend seemed kind of nice.

Few min go by Gaborik goes to the box … I say … if Crosby scores a goal right now i am starting Crosby Sucks chant! Too bad he doesn’t score … Too good MALKIN SCORES!! GENO!!!!!! 2-2. I start doing my Russian dance and chanting LETS GO PENS with Bill Guerin fist pump technique. Some trashed old man behind me tells me to put my hand down. No fockey way! He starts crying so bad i can’t take it … i show him my Sidney Crysby impersonation … i see his eye get filled up with red as he reaches for his beer cup but his daughter restrains him. Aww … i saw more action at my Lafayette High School during lunch breaks. FOOD FIGHT!!!! Sorry dude you failed to amuse me and your daughter wasn’t even hot … its a fail/fail situation.

Less than a min later … Conner again 2-3!!!! I look for the old man … but he knows better … no eye contact. You can see Rangers fans get up and start leaving. Way to have faith in your team!

Dupuis face is looking better then ever … i was hoping they’d help him trim some of his eye brows … didn’t happen.

Empty net … i look for Chris Conner on ice … he is no where to be found … what the hell Dan? Duper finds the puck …

Still about 30 seconds left in the game … but MSG is already empty. Only Pens fans are sticking around.

Time to celebrate …

Somehow some Pens fans find us and its the same guys we took a pic last time we were at MSG for The Pensblog. So we snap another pic. TPB Link

Pic from last game at MSG … undefeated champs!!! TPB Link

After the game … we headed to Foley’s pub to celebrate with other Pens fans. Apparently refs from the game were partying there as well.

Some shots celebrating at Foleys Pub after the game … and i finally got my long awaited beer from Heather … she was not too excited over it!

I was a little constipated … so was Ian … and that lonely Rags fan on the background

Malkin Militia Belt!

All pics from the game … Enjoy!

Pens And Dads Head To NYC – Penguin Power Play Drinking Game

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Sid vs Max vs Dryer … Part II

Head coach Dan Bylsma recorded his 50th career coaching win yesterday against the Philadelphia Flyers as the two teams battled at the Wachovia Center. Pens players dads watched as this physical game unfolded. Bodies flying everywhere … line brawl … Letang Sex Hair fight … frustraded Geno … obnoxious Carcillo and Hartnell … in other words a typical Pens vs Flyers game. To a big disappointment of some Pens Fans that were playing the new “Penguin Power Play Drinking Game” pens were able to score 2 power play goals, Gonchar (8) and Cooke (11) which was enough to win 2-1 thanks to our amazing penalty kill unit giving Flyers only 1-for-9 on PP. Thanks Tony Granato and Mike Yeo!

If you haven’t heard of the new “Penguin Power Play Drinking Game” well then here are the rules … and i have to remind you … please drink responsibly!

  1. For every failed, forced back door pass to Alex Goligoski from Crosby or Malkin, take a drink!
  2. For every fanned shot in front of the net by Bill Guerin, take a drink!
  3. For every failed entry into the other team’s zone, take a drink!
  4. For every 30 second span of time without a shot attempt… finish your beer!

Pascal Dupuis was back after missing game against Washington Capitals and had 37 stitches above his right eye.

Line brawl anyone?

Speaking of brawls you might remember the KHL bench clearing brawl in which Jaromir Jagr was involved between two Russian teams Vityaz Chekhov and Avangard Omsk. Well some more exciting news coming from Russia … apparently all the Russian 9-year-olds are Goons! Here is a video …

Funny stuff. While we are on the theme of fighting … Letang Sex Hair Fight anyone!? Who knew Tanger could wrestle?! Poor Darroll Powe!

Later on that game Darroll Powe almost got a Russian taste of Geno who had 1 assist this game! Trust me Powe you don’t want to try any.

Speaking of fighters … did anyone see Eric Godard on ice?! He was pretty invisible for me. His TOI was 2:44 and no fights! Some speculations are going around that he might be playing his last games as a Penguin in the coming weeks. Main reason? Teams like Devils proving their success in the league without enforcer. Washington let go Brashear and are sitting on the top of the East. There are talks of adding another winger (Ray Whitney) before the trade deadline but no space on the roster.

Speaking of trade deadlines … Pens have had talks with Carolina regarding defenseman Andrew Alberts. He is 28, 6-4, 220lbs, has 6 points on the season and is an impressive minus-1 on a Hurricanes team that has given up 167 goals. Alberts would definitively add to some needed toughness on ice for Pens.

Doesn’t NHL shop disappoint you at times!? Where the hell is team Belarus gear?!? HELLO?!?! ANYBODY THERE?! http://shop.nhl.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=3998724

Sick Penguins Tattoo anyone? This belongs to a Pens Warrior Jonathan W.

So Pens are headed to NYC to play Rangers and I am going to MSG with MouthFullOfTang to watch the game and hopefully meet some Pens dads. Rangers just got all beat up by Flyers. One fight worth mentioning … Carcillo vs Gaborik. Reaction of head coach of Rangers, John Tortorella, was … “There’s no honor in that.” Tortorella is pretty outspoken and was upset at Larry Brooks writer for New York Post who apparently made some sarcastic remarks in his article towards Wade Redden. Ready for funny video? You could fast forward to 2:07.

Brooks: Should one of your guys have taken a third man out?
Tortorella: I’m not going to answer any questions from you.
Brooks: You’re not?
Tortorella: No.
Brooks: Oh, good. I’ll speculate.
Tortorella: You’ll speculate? Be as sarcastic as you can be, as you usually are.
Brooks: I will, I will.
Tortorella: Go right ahead.
Brooks: So should one of your guys have taken a third man out?
Tortorella: I said I’m not answering any of your questions. Have you ever fought before?
Brooks: Yes. Why, are you challenging me now?
Tortorella: No, no, I’m not challenging you. You know, [Wade] Redden sticks up for his teammates the other night and you come out with some sarcastic article.
Brooks: It was funny.
Tortorella: It was funny? You were probably beat up on the bus stop most of the time.
Brooks: You’re a great representative of the city.
Tortorella: Just go stand somewhere else.

ROFL!!! LETS GO PENS!!!

Para Pa Pa Pa I am Lovin’ It

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Para Pa Pa Pa I am Lovin’ It … no not McDonalds and not even MacDonald … I am loving hockey! Its actually really funny to think that hockey is by far most superior sport in the world. I mean think about this the NHL has dodged steroids, crooked referees, gambling scandals, domestic abuse and thug life. Lets keep hockey clean and we understand that your dad used to play for Penguins in 1970s but still thats not how you win in hockey … fire MacDonald.

What a great hockey game last night for Pittsburgh Penguins! Even though Evgeni Malkin was not I’m Scor3 yesterday amma still love him while he is rockin’ that Penguins jersey. He did look extremely hungry last night … hopefully someone will feed him tonight. He skated well, entered the offensive zone like a boss and took good shots … just needs to bury one.

MAF had his game of the season last night. He stopped basically everything flamingCs had to offer, 37 saves. Our boys were playing pretty tight D as well. Check out this clusterpuck in front of the Penguins net.

Because of MAF performance last night this puckbunny has changed her mind. If in the beginning of the game she was like …

At the end of the game she was like … actually her name is Kristyne De Mott .. but who cares?!

Sidney Crosby (30), Bill Guerin (15) and Tyler Kennedy (8) all scored for Pittsburgh. Crosby has goals in four straight games and hit the 30 goal plateau in just his 47th game of the season. Crosby is on pace for 51 goals and has never scored more than 39 goals in a season. One word … Trade Crosby! :-)

Godard took a pretty bad penalty but made up for it when he dropped gloves with Brian McGrattan

BillyG with the needed game winning PPG that was deflected from Sergei Gonchar’s slap shot. Speaking of Gonchar and his elbow hit on Clutterbuck has made some people upset. While Gonchar is not expected to face discipline over the hit he did share his side of the story. While we are talking about Sarge its worth mentioning that Ray Shero and J.P. Barry, the agent for Sergei Gonchar held their first set of substantive talks Tuesday afternoon in Calgary. While no official offer was tendered to Gonchar but Pittsburgh is now focused on a three year extension. Gonchar is believed to be seeking deals of 3 years – $15 million and 4 years – $20 million. If a true home-town discount was on the table, a deal would have been struck a while ago. Shero is willing to go as high as $4.25 million per season on a three year extension and are willing to go $5 million per season {Gonchar’s current salary} on a two year deal. Meanwhile, regarding Kris Letang, there has been “absolutely” no movement towards a new deal. [http://insidepittsburghsports.com]

This was one of the most complete and confidence-inspiring games in a while. Lets take the momentum from this game and apply it tonight with the back to back game against Edmonton Oilers.

Some notes …

John Curry has been told he will remain with the team until the end of the Penguins road trip. Brent Johnson who is experiencing some technical difficulties with his groin will not be cleared to suit up until next week at the earliest.

Same goes for the candyman, Brooks Orpik, who is hopeful to practice on Friday but won’t be cleared to play at any point during the rest of the road trip.

Luca Caputi will drop his pants and shake up his booty, might also play on the 4th line tonight but is expected to see time on the top two lines.

There has been talk that Ben Lovejoy is getting a strong look to remain with the team. Only problem is there isn’t enough space on the Penguins roster. Ben has 4 goals and 7 assists with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pens this season so far.

Again puck drops at 9:30pm EST … get some coffee!

LETS GO PENS!!!

Enforcers, Goons, Scrappers, Pugilisters, and Pests. Plus Pens vs Leafs Videos!

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Hockey without fighting is like making love without foreplay. There are many reasons to fight during a hockey game. Some reasons are related to game play, such as retaliation, momentum-building, intimidation, deterrence, attempting to draw “reaction penalties”, and protecting star players. There are also some personal reasons such as retribution for past incidents, bad blood between players, and simple job security for enforcers. NHL fights are governed by a complex system of unwritten rules that players, coaches, officials agree upon. This is also known as “the code”. These fights are also a subject to a fighting etiquette. Most of the NHL fights involve designated team fighters that are also known as enforcers, goons, scrappers, and or puglisters. I have a great deal of respect for Eric Godard, current Pens enforcer.
