Opinion: Sign Hossa, lose Malkin and blame Sidney Crosby?

16 Jun 2008 06:59:47 PDT

Ownership leaned on general manager Ray Shero to get Hossa and may now be doing the same by way of wanting to keep him. That's not a bad thing. Mario Lemieux knows how to win, and Penguins fans should be overjoyed anytime Ron Burkle's desire for championships manifests itself.

Penguins Season in review

06 Jun 2008 12:38:15 PDT

Well I think that the Penguins did a very great job this season. Without Crosby for like one month and a half, the pens realy keep working hard. They proved that they can do a great job without a very good player. Malkin did a very great job to help the team to stay in competition for the playoffs. Sta...

Adam Hall is a player that may not be back in Pittsburgh next season, but last night played one of the biggest parts in the game. When Detroit's defense figured out Crosby, and Malkin was as cold as ever, it was Adam Hall who scored a goal to break the tie game. Can Pittsburgh afford to lose a playe...

Opinion: Pittsburgh Penguins Stanley Cup charge to be admired, regardless of how they got there

22 May 2008 06:46:24 PDT

Written by henwood
Two and a half decades after hitting paydirt with some guy named Mario, the Pens struck gold again with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Gotcha. I guess after bankruptcy issues and playing in that dump of an arena, Lady Luck decided to cut Pittsburgh some slack.

Other musing on a huge Game Two win for the Penguins: In 25 games since returning from his high-ankle sprain, Marc-Andre Fleury has allowed two goals or less in 21 of them. So much for Marian Hossa being a playoff time ghost, eh? Let's Go Pens!
