Penguins defeat Senators 4-2
James Neal scored two goals, Sidney Crosby added three points, and the Pittsburgh Penguins snapped a two game losing streak, defeating the Ottawa Senators 4-2 at Consol Energy Center, Wednesday night.

Is Rashard Mendenhall Still an Option for the Steelers?
The Steelers are heading into the off-season with multiple holes to fill, but one of the most important positions they need to address is running back. Pittsburgh has spent multiple draft picks in the last three drafts on the offensive line in hopes of protecting Ben Roethlisberger and opening lanes in the running game. Now with a young offensive line and a new blocking scheme, there is some optimism that the Steelers could return to their old ways of running the ball. Todd Haley had a solid ... Read More

Snedden’s Take: The Battle of Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania is considered one of the most pivotal places in American history, an early stage for revolutionary war heroes like Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, founders of this great Nation.

Over here in the Pittsburgh area, our history is more of the lunchbox variety than the musket and bayonet history of our eastern brethren. The Pittsburgh area was long an industrial city, for many ... Read More
Power play could save Paul Martin’s value
The Pittsburgh Penguins had Paul Martin quarterbacking the top power play in practice, on Tuesday, with Kris Letang and Matt Niskanen working with the second unit as they continue to recover from their lower body injuries. Could it be a sign of things to come for this Penguins team? The power play has been trending upward over the last four games, going 6-16.

Mike Wallace to the Browns?
With Mike Wallace likely out in Pittsburgh, could he sign with the divison rival Cleveland Browns? The signing would make sense if you think about it. Wallace is a speedster and that's what the Browns like. With sub-par receiver Josh Cribbs saying that he didn't like that the team rebuilt every season through the draft, the Brown might look to add some talent via free agency. With new head coach Rob Chudzinski and offensive coordinator Norv Turner, Wallace would fit in well within the ... Read More

It's time for the Steelers to let some of their young players take over and to do so they will have to cut some of the aging veterans. Here is a breakdown of each position on the roster as ...

Crosby or Malkin: Who deserves the winger more
As Pittsburgh Penguin fans we’ve have grown accustomed to being spoiled with star players. We’ve gone from Mario Lemieux, and Jaromir Jagr; fast forward to now with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Crosby and Malkin are arguably the two best players in the world, and both of them happen to be wearing that Penguin logo on the front of their sweater. Until last year neither of them had played a full season with an elite winger on their side. And if you think about it, Malkin wouldn’t have ... Read More
