The Pittsburgh Penguins made some noise in the college free agent market, landing the top goaltender available, Eric Hartzell. Hartzell, 23, and the Penguins agreed to an one-year deal worth $925,000 dollars on Sunday. Due to his age, the Penguins could only offer him an one-year deal, but do [...]
Over the 12 game win streak, it’s getting harder with each game to begin each article, as a common theme has presented itself during the streak – the Penguins would fall behind, then scratch and crawl their way back into the game, putting forth relentless pressure and effort, and an unsuspecting [...]
With the trade deadline coming up, I wanted to take a look at some players that could have an impact on the Penguins if they did look the way of a trade. It is not clear if the Penguins are looking for an upgrade outside the organization, as it’s really [...]
This week saw a monumental shake up in the hockey world, as the Board of Governors approved a realignment proposal that remapped the league’s divisions.

For all of the hyped prospects that end up busting out before they can make a positive impact in the NHL, there are a few who come out of nowhere to achieve the stardom that those uber prospects could not. All of their searching for a goaltender after the departure [...]

The 1999 NHL Entry Draft might be one of the only drafts that could act as a cautionary tale itself. We all know about Patrik Stefan. Then there are the Islanders four first rounders; all of whom failed (Kristian Kudroc, Branislav Mezei, Tim Connolly, and Taylor Pyatt). But arguably [...]
The NHL is already in full-swing. When I realized it’s been a little over a week since the league started it’s season, I had to do a double take. Seriously? It only started last Saturday? Maybe I’ve been watching too much hockey but it seems like it started about six [...]
This week’s Blue and Gold report comes after only two games but those games brought smiles to many Buffalo Sabres fans. We’re used to seeing the team wait until January to actually start its season anyways so this shouldn’t come as a surprise to many. The Sabres opened up the [...]
The NHL lockout has finally ended and this past Saturday, we had actual hockey back in our lives for the first time since June. Which is great because there’s no way in hell I can become a basketball fan. I CAN’T DO IT. Now, as a fan, you can [...]
With the hockey season rapidly approaching, there are so many topics left to cover before play begins. One of those topics: who are the ten best players in the game today? This will no doubt aggravate some, make others nod their heads in agreement, or leave even more wondering who [...]
