Another Day, Another Amazing Playoff Goal by Sidney Crosby (Video)
How good was the goal Sidney Crosby scored against the Ottawa Senators last night? So good that it’s the only one of the Penguins’ seven that anyone will ever remember. After coming out on top in a must-win Game 3 earlier this week, the Sens managed to get to the third period of Game 4 [...]

Evgeni Malkin Was an Answer on College Jeopardy, But Apparently Kids at Tufts University Don’t Watch a Lot of Hockey (Video)
Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, is full of blue bloods and smarties on the fast track for high-powered jobs in law, medicine, science, and politics. It is not, however, fully of hockey fans. Squash and golf? Sure, you bet. But not hockey. We know this because of a recent episode of College Jeopardy featuring a [...]

Sidney Crosby Scores Highlight Reel Goal Reminiscent of Another Legendary Penguins Playoff Goal (Videos)
The mighty Pittsburgh Penguins haven’t torn the New York Islanders limb from limb in their opening round playoff series the way most people probably assumed they would.

Flyers Fan Wears T-Shirt Expressing His True Feelings About Sidney Crosby (Photo)
You can have your Bruins-Canadiens, Rangers-Devils, or Blue Jackets-Predators*. For my money, the best rivalry in hockey right now is Penguins-Flyers. Last spring they gave us a bizarre, violent, goal fest of a playoff series, and so far this year, in three meetings, they’ve given us a 3-1 game, a 6-5 game, and a 5-4 [...]

Most NHL teams these days have at least one group of players that likes to warm up before a game by juggling a soccer ball. The reason? Well, it’s a great way to get your heart rate up and stay loose, for one. But more importantly, it’s a great way to improve your footwork or, [...]

Mike Milbury Compares Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin to Crack Addicts (Video)
Did you ever wonder why they put Mike Milbury on TV to talk about hockey? After all, during his playing days his greatest achievement was being a member of the Boston Bruins gang that went into the stands to beat up some New York Rangers Fans.

Sidney Crosby Plays Goalie for Local Ball Hockey Team
When Sidney Crosby played his last NHL game, he did so as arguably the league's best player. When he plays his next NHL game, he may do so as the league's best up-and-coming goalie. Okay, so that probably won't end up happening, but who knows? If this lockout lasts long enough, Crosby may get enough [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 4/22/12 — Claude Giroux
Game Six between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Pittsburgh Penguins was a crucial one, as a win by the Penguins would draw them even with the Flyers and force a Game Seven after falling behind 3-0. Claude Giroux didn’t want to see that happen, and he made that quite obvious during his first shift of [...]

All 10 Penguins Goals From Last Night In One Minute (Video)
The Penguins knew they would need to score early and often if they were going to stay alive in their best-of-seven Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series against the Philadelphia Flyers. They would do just that, beating Ilya Bryzgalov and Sergei Bobrovsky five times each during their 10-3 blowout victory last night. With a total of 36 [...]

Fights And Cheap Shots Mar This Weekend’s NHL Playoff Action (Videos)
For the past two years I have chosen to discontinue the “Frozen Fisticuffs Fight of the Night” segment during the NHL playoffs because as many of us already know, fights rarely, if ever, take place during the post-season. However, that has been far from the case during the 2012 NHL playoffs. In fact, all of [...]

Mike Milbury Slams Sidney Crosby On Radio Show, Blames Flyers-Pens Brawl On Him (Video)
Mike Milbury spent 12 years as a player in the NHL and another six years as a coach and GM, however, not one of those took place while Sidney Crosby was in the league. So why the beef Mike? The former Bruins defenseman sounded off on Crosby during an appearance on a Philadelphia radio show [...]

The Pens And Sens Laugh Their Way Through The National Anthems (Video)
Earlier in the month we learned that some do not take too kindly to those who wear hats during the national anthem. I wonder how those same individuals would feel about seeing someone laugh throughout the singing of the anthem? While they may not be all that impressed with the giggle-fest that broke out during [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 3/20/12 — Malkin, Crosby And Neal
When the Winnipeg Jets hosted the Washington Capitals last Friday, their fans could be heard taunting Alex Ovechkin with chants of “Crosby’s better!” During last night’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Jets players would learn that not only is Sidney Crosby better than Ovechkin these days, but so too are Evgeni Malkin and James [...]

The Greatest Athletes to Wear Each Number: No. 99 to No. 00
You know a superstar athlete has become a legend when his name has become synonymous with his jersey number, and there’s a banner with that number on it hanging in the rafters of every stadium of every team he ever played for.
