I haven’t even been following hockey since Sid’s been out. Only linking to this story as an excuse to run this picture again. In James Neal, has Ray Shero found his winger for Sidney Crosby? So has Ray Shero finally found a guy that can be consistently productive next to Sidney Crosby? Neal’s posted 20-plus […]

Well you know what? FUCK old-time hockey. 361 fighting penalty minutes. In a 60-minute game. So, anybody out there still want to argue about the noble, time-honored tradition of hockey fights? How they are an integral part of the game? How they are a legitimate strategem? How they are needed for morale? Watch the three […]

Ahh well. Sorry after all that hype to my friends that Sidney Crosby didn’t show up to play on Saturday night. Also sorry that the NHL chose to endanger their players in the shitty weather/ice conditions just so that they could get on primetime (and also not interfere with Sunday’s precious football schedule). *eye roll* […]

To conclude this piece, I just want to say a little bit about the opposition. Know they enemy, and all that. The Winter Classic game will be played against the Washington Capitals. They may not be Satan himself, but they are surely his henchmen. The hatred between the Penguins and the Capitals is bitter and […]

I’ve talked two out-of-state friends into virtually watching the Winter Classic with me. They are both newbies to hockey/the Pens, so I wrote this as a little viewing guide for them. But, since I took SO much effort to compose this piece, why not add it to the blog? Heh. I know most everyone reading […]

Or a cell phone, iPod, Wii, perfume, socks, a sweater, or any other gift you may receive this holiday, (though not as good as Gingerbread) I am placing some screencaps from the HBO 24/7: Road to the Winter Classic show under your virtual trees today. Yes, big enough to be used as wallpaper. http://picasaweb.google.com/cg.vicious/HBOPenguinsScreengrabs# For […]

again… Hockey season is officially upon us! I wish I could be excited, but so far all I feel is a big “meh.” Hence, the Crosby Goodness above…an effort to psych myself out. A few of my favorites have left the team. The guys who remain (Sid and JStaal excepted, naturlich!) are guys who…frankly…I never […]

Happy, happy birthday to mah Baby JStaal! Sorry to hear that you’re still laid up with your foot injury and might be missing practice, but you know what… JStaal don’t need no steenkin’ practice! On Oct. 7 you shall slay them like sheep as usual. Here’s to you, BabyJ, from me and SSkars.

Our boys were basically shut-out at the NHL awards last night! Sidney was up for umpteen awards, only won 1! JStaal should have owned the Selke trophy, but lost to freakin’ Datsyuk from the Red Wings! Whatever, NHL. You’ve just made yourself look as stupid and irrelevant as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and […]

Really? You Pens are making me have to bust out Coach Taylor on your asses THIS early in the playoffs? Against Montreal?! That is just wrong. You can do better than that. The unbridled power of Coach Taylor should be held in reserve for the most dire of situations…maybe the finals…maybe against somebody like Washington…. […]

As the Pens must face another game without our fallen warrior JStaal, I thought this would be a very apt time to continue the program we began last playoffs, Learn Old English Poetry with Jordan Staal. Today’s very topical lesson will be the Ubi Sunt theme as it occurs in Anglo-Saxon verse. “Ubi Sunt” (literally […]

This is the single best article ever written about Pittsburgh sports in the history of Pittsburgh and sports. Pittsburgh fans turn to Crosby Yes, this will always be Steelers country, first and foremost. But recent events – both good and bad – have run together like the three rivers themselves, and suddenly hockey is gaining […]

OH NO. So the Pens thrash Montreal last night, but who cares? The victory is pyrrhic, because Baby JStaal was wounded in the battle. I cannot believe it! Who would dare to lift a finger to JStaal?! This cannot go unavenged! In other words Please everyone reading this light a candle for mah BabyJ. I’d […]

Wow, this is great stuff. Empty Netters interviewed JSTAAL for their ongoing “Mellon Arena Memories” series. Besides the interview, there are tons of videos of BabyJ’s great moments. Badassery in action…relive it now! Oh, the ultimate quote from Jordan: “I pretty much just blacked out and got lucky.” *giggle* That’s mah baby boy! I’m changing […]

See more pics here. April 2 was my mom’s birthday and after finally exhausting all ideas of objects to get her, I had the bright idea (ok, actually it was Whistler’s idea) to take her to a Pens game because there was a nice 1pm game scheduled the day after her birthday. I spent what […]

I know it’s hard, but let’s try to get just a little bit psyched up for tonight’s hockey game, huh? Bring it.
