It’s fitting that Sidney Crosby scored his 600th goal during a down season for the Penguins
Penguins legendary center, Sidney Crosby, became the 21st player in NHL history to score his 600th career goal when he achieved the feat in a game vs. the Utah Hockey Club last Saturday at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh.

The Penguins are officially bad
Hockey is weird for many reasons, but the most bizarre part may be trying to construct a roster. Take the Pittsburgh Penguins, for example. They’re bad and old. After missing the postseason the past two years by mere points, the Pens have opened the 2024/2025 campaign with a 6-9-3 record, good enough for seventh place… read more
Three questions facing the Boston Bruins going into 2024
1) Will Elias Lindholm and Mark Kastelic level things out at center ice for important faceoffs? The Bruins faced challenges in the center position after David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron left in 2022-2023. Charlie Coyle and Pavel Zacha stepped up but couldn’t match Bergeron’s and Krejci’s defensive skills. The team struggled in defensive zone… read more

Sports fans and media members are weird. You can’t please them if you do, and you can’t please them if you don’t. As it pertains to NHL superstar Connor McDavid, his inaction left a lot of folks displeased after the Edmonton Oilers lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final to the Florida Panthers at… read more
The Florida Panthers capture their first Stanley Cup with 2-1 win in Game 7
While they almost did the impossible (for sports besides hockey, anyway), the Edmonton Oilers failed to complete the reverse sweep and overcome a 3-0 series deficit to capture the Stanley Cup. That’s the negative way of looking at how Game 7 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final finished at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida,… read more
The Oilers are on the brink of doing something extraordinary in the Stanley Cup Final
I recently wrote in this very space that both the NBA Finals and NHL Stanley Cup Final were duds. I said this because the Boston Celtics had almost effortlessly taken a 3-0 lead over the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals, while the Florida Panthers had done the same to the Edmonton Oilers in the… read more
