The Pens played the Boston Bruins Tuesday night. After their last game, I was ready! As the game started and the first period ended, my hopes sunk. I was upset, so I did what came natural; I went out to my kitchen and baked four dozen cookies. Yup, I made four dozen cookies at 9 p.m. on a Tuesday. That was enough to take up the scoreless second period. I did what any woman would do. I grabbed my bottle of wine and a handful of cookies ready to throw a pity party. The third period ticked ...

Brandon Sutter leads 3-2 Penguins’ comeback over Bruins
Unstoppable force, meet immovable object. The Boston Bruins held the Pittsburgh Penguins in check for the first 53 minutes of the game. But a goal from Chris Kunitz opened the flood gates and the Penguins closed out the final period with three goals in a span of three minutes and fifteen seconds and their sixth straight win. Billed as a possible preview to the Eastern Conference Final, the Bruins' top rated defense, allowing the fewest goals in the league, met the high scoring team in the ... Read More

All of the professional sports teams have had been very prominent at different points of existence, if you look at the Steelers in the 1970’s winning four Super Bowls, the Pirates in 70’s as well with two World Series Titles, and the Penguins in the early 1990’s with back-to-back Stanley Cups. Winning championships means you have quality players that lead your team to those titles. There were players such as Terry ... Read More
It’s Sutter time for the Pittsburgh Penguins
It seems to be more and more common that the Penguins play without one of their two superstar centers. For most of the past two years they were without Sidney Crosby, and for some parts of that time they were even without Evgeni Malkin. Well once again they will be without the services of Malkin who is out for one to two weeks and an apparent “upper body” injury. This opens the door for the quality center that the Penguins got over the summer in a trade that sent Jordan Staal to the ... Read More
Optimism Surrounding Keenan Lewis’ Return to Pittsburgh is Fading Fast
Everyone knew heading into the 2013 off-season that the Pittsburgh Steelers were going to have some tough decision to make. The first of those tough decision was made yesterday when the Steelers released veteran outside linebacker James Harrison. Harrison's release didn't come as a huge surprise, but it's never easy to replace a player of his caliber. A season ago the Steelers said goodbye to Aaron Smith and James Farrior two main-stays on the defensive front. With Harrison's release and the ... Read More
Outside Linebacker will be draft focus for Steelers
The releasing of James Harrison wasn’t exactly something that the Steelers wanted to do, but more or less something they had to do. Harrison was getting up there in age and his production over the years has diminished. He was set to make 6.570 million in 2013, and by cutting him that saved the Steelers a little over five million in cap space. Cap space was something that the Steelers desperately needed; after restructuring several players’ contracts the Steelers were barely under the cap, so ... Read More

The University of Pittsburgh Men’s Basketball team entered the 2012-2013 season with high hope, but not a lot was expected out of them.

The Panthers are coming off a 81-66 win over Depaul, and have won their final 4 games of the season. They could be getting hot at just the right time. If you recall not too ... Read More
Ramon Foster signs a three-year deal to stay with Steelers
According to Gerry Dulac the Pittsburgh Steelers re-signed offensive lineman Ramon Foster to a three year deal today. Foster played all 16 games for the Steelers and played right guard, left guard, and right tackle. Over the past three seasons Foster has been one of the most consistent lineman on the Steelers roster and since becoming a starter in 2010 he is the only lineman on the Steelers roster who has not missed a game in that span due to injury. 2012 first round pick David DeCastro was ...

Steelers are the true “America’s Team”
When the Cowboys first came into existence, and then became relevant they were titled “America’s Team.” They received that title because of being on TV so much, and they had such a following all over the country. But now a days you ask the question of who America’s team is, you might get a different answer. A lot of people now believe that America’s new team is the one and only Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers have been a popular team since the 70’s when they won most of their Super Bowls. ... Read More
