The Penguins’ savior has risen! But unlike Jesus Christ, who according to the Catholics took three days to rise from the dead, Sidney Crosby required a little more than one weekend to return to action.

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Asham vs. McLeod — 11/15/11
An incredible goal from Matt Duchene wasn’t the only highlight to come from last night’s game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Colorado Avalanche. Evgeni Malkin also provided an spectacular goal of his own, and enforcers Arron Asham and Cody McLeod gave us a spirited 20-second bout that featured plenty of devastating right hands. Duchene [...]

Matt Duchene Scored An Absolute Beauty (Video)
Could this be an early “Goal of the Year” candidate? Sorry Jamie Benn, but it has my vote!

Summertime is clearly a slow time for sports fans and sports blogs alike.

After trailing their best-of-seven opening round series 3-1, the Tampa Bay Lightning were able to force a Game 7 and were suddenly one win away from advancing to the second round of the playoffs for the first time since they raised the Stanley Cup in 2004. Winning a do-or-die game on the road at the [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Engelland vs. Westgarth — 2/10/11
With the likes of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Chris Kunitz still recovering from injuries, there is no denying the fact that the Pittsburgh Penguins’ lineup is lacking in terms of offensive threats. One thing that they are not in need of, however, are tough players that play with an edge. Deryk Engelland is one [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Dorsett vs. Lovejoy — 2/8/11
Saved by the official. That was how Derek Dorsett must have felt following a fight with Ben Lovejoy last night.
