Jordan Staal Skating At Practice

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

Want to talk about Miracle On Ice? Considering the fact Jordan Staal had a surgery on Saturday morning to repair a torn tendon this truly is a miracle. Staal was back on ice for practice this morning for a brief period of time. Goes to show how much grit and determination he has. Its no surprise he has almost perfect NHL regular season attendance. Since 2006 he missed only ONE game during regular season. Impressive? You bet! Surprising? Not really if you know Jordan Staal well.

You might remember one of those monday night games on December 21st this season when Jordan Staal got almost half of his nose cut off by a puck. Something like that would side line any other player for at least 2 games. Not our Gronk! He came back that same game to play. What a man!

Seems like Dan Bylsma wants our boys to crush the net and screen Halak more effectively in todays game. Max Talbot has Dan’s back.

Talbot’s mom is a gambler. According to NationalPost.com his mother, a high school teacher, has a bet going with her students that the Penguins will win. It is a wager that has made her very unpopular at the moment. ”She’s cool with it,” Talbot said. “She can take the heat.”

My home boys Kostitsyn brothers are taking some heat in Canadian press. My opinion on the topic is i couldn’t care less they are playing Pens.

According to Penguins Practice report Mark Letestu centered the third line and could make his NHL postseason debut!

Troy Crosby interview.

I think the effects of home made borscht should be kicking in today. I am expecting a big game from Evgeni Malkin.

Dan Bylsma Cheering For Team USA

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

In his interview yesterday Dan Bylsma when asked who he is going to cheer for in olympics he said:

“I am going to root for Brooks Orpik. I am a USA guy. I will always be cheering for Team USA in this situation. I think if it is Canada-Russia in a game I would be like Jordan Staal’s mom in a Carolina-Pittsburgh game – you are going to be cheering for both guys to do well and you are going to want both guys to do well. You are not picking sides. It will be interesting. It will be interesting to see them compete against each other. Having brothers and competing against friends in different situations going from Los Angeles to Anaheim, it makes it more intriguing. When a play a guy I know well and consider a good friend I want to get a better piece of him than if I did know him. It makes for interesting fodder and watching but I will go with Brooks Orpik every time.”

Pens are playing the Isles tonight on home ice at 7:30 pm. I am looking forward for this guy below to step up his game and score some goals. Thanks to MouthFullOfTang for the pic find.

Last time Pens faced Isles Geno came out with his 5th career hat trick and put an end to his slump debate.

Talbot will not be playing tonight so we are expecting another WBS Penguins recall. Mark Letestu is expected to join Pens in tonights game.

I will be rooting for Sergei Gonchar to score his 200th career goal.

The 2011 All-Star Game is tentatively scheduled to be hosted by the Phoenix Coyotes in Glendale, Ariz. However, should they be relocated Penguins made a bid for Next Year’s All-Star Weekend.

Apparently, Crosby-Talbot Advertisement Voted Best (see all commercials). Sorry Mike Green, Ovie, Mike Richards, and the caveman, ops i already mentioned Ovie.

Sidney Crosby is on the cover of the Canadian edition of Sports Illustrated. Its just so happens that i am stuck in Toronto and I have an extra copy and will give it away to anyone who did not read this sentence. Email with your proof/reasoning to enter the contest info@penshead.com.

And finally some exciting news in the world of hockey. Thanks to Peter V for bringing this to my attention. There is a new expansion team! Adult film legend Peter North’s official hockey team “The Peter North Stars”! Check out their jersey and grab one on ebay right now! They are going fast!

Penguins Bipolar Disorder

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Games like tonight cause psychological disorders. After a bipolar game of hits and misses, from trailing by 2, to leading by 2, to finding ourselves clinging to a 1 goal lead on the PK with 2 minutes left of the game, the Pens came out on top with a final score of 5-4.

Letestu scored his first NHL goal early in the 1st to give the Pens the 1-0 lead. Buffalo answered back with 2 quick goals and returned in the 2nd to score yet again and take the 3-1 lead.

Pittsburgh wasn’t ready to throw in the towel. Crosby responded minutes later on the PP, followed by a long anticipated goal by Jordan Staal which tied the score at 3. After an extended period of 4 on 4 hockey Bing decided to show off by racking up two more goals within the period for his 5th career hatty. Crosby is now tied with Marleau for the NHL lead in goals.

God that guy sucks.
