The Pittsburgh Penguins have fired Penguins General Manager, Ray Shero. Despite of helping build a team that made consecutive Stanley Cup appearances in 08-09', and being named the NHL GM of the Year just last season, the Penguins have struggled to find playoff success since winning the Stanley Cup in 2009. There is speculation that Dan Bylsma will be next to go, but no announcement has been made at this time. According to Chris Peters from CBS Sports, the new GM will determine Bylsma's ... Read More
Shero and Bylsma Share Equal Blame
After the Penguins were swept in four games against the Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference Finals, changes should have been made. At the very least, Dan Bylsma should have been fired and Kris Letang probably should've been traded to not only create cap space but build depth at forward. Instead, the Penguins kept Bylsma and rewarded Kris Letang by giving him an eight year extension worth $58 million. The result? Another embarrassing early exit in the playoffs and now the dream of seeing ... Read More
Rangers complete comeback; advance to Eastern Conference Finals
Brad Richards scored 7:56 into the second period to give New York the lead and Henrik Lundqvist stonewalled the Pittsburgh Penguins as the Rangers completed the comeback to win in Game 7 at Consol Energy Center. The Penguins, who have seen the other team celebrate on their home ice in Game 7's three out of the last five years, failed to close out a 3-1 series lead which may lead to the dismissal of head coach Dan Bylsma. Consol Energy Center was electric before the game even started. Jeff ... Read More
Much On The Line in Game 7 for Pens
I've heard a lot of varying opinions as to why the Penguins have gone from shoe in to advance to the Eastern Conference Final, to a team on the precipice of total collapse in the span of a weekend. On Friday night, the Penguins hosted a Rangers squad that seemed devoid of hope, staring at a three games to one deficit and the very real possibility that their season was about to come to an end. Fast forward a few days later. There's an undeniable sense that the tables have turned completely, and ... Read More

Jokinen and Martin are latest under the radar stars for Pens
The Stanley Cup playoffs — a time when players rise to the occasion and heroes are made. Over the years, the Penguins have had their fair share of playoff heroes. Some of them have been considered some of the greatest players in NHL history. Others, few outside of Pittsburgh have ever heard of.

Pens blank Rangers to take 2-1 series lead
For the second straight night the Penguins played a strong defensive game and for the second straight night they defeated the New York Rangers, taking a 2-1 series lead in the process. Marc-Andre Fleury posted his second consecutive shutout, stopping all 35 shots by New York. Fleury, who is usually a lightning rod of criticism, has stopped 73 of New York's last 74 shots. The Rangers, once again, went scoreless on the power play (0-5). New York is now 0-13 in this series and 0 for their ... Read More
Penguin of the Week: Marc-Andre Fleury
Despite what some fans may thing, Marc-Andre Fleury can fuel the Pittsburgh Penguins to success. And he did so Sunday night to even the series at one game apiece with the New York Rangers. The ninth-year goalkeeper stopped 22 Rangers' shots in the 3-0 victory to earn his franchise-record seventh playoff shutout. The shutout was also his first of the playoffs this season but his sixth overall of the 2013-14 season. The win was the second in the past week for the Pens, with one loss sandwiched ... Read More
