50 Trades of Ray.

Okay, maybe not quite fifty.  

Still, with guys like Sid, Geno, Neal and Martin out and recent acquisitions like Iginla, Morrow, Sutter and Murray filling in the gaps, I thought it was time to pay tribute to the man behind the deals, GM Ray Shero.

Of course it's no surprise Ray gets what Ray wants.
Opposing GMs know if they don't play ball, they just might end up in the cornfield.

Even Dan knows that.

So keep making those deals, boss!

Pens streak ends at 15.

Pittsburgh lost to Buffalo 4-1 Tuesday night, snapping their 15-game winning streak.

Some of the bridge jumping population of Pens fans took the opportunity to completely overreact and blame everyone in sight, not the least of whom was goaltender Tomas Vokoun, who entered the game coming off eight periods of shutout hockey.

Oh well.  Here's hoping they go 16-0 in the postseason because I don't even know how people will handle it if they lose a playoff game.

You want the good news or the bad news?

What a crazy few days it has been.

Jarome Iginla is expected to make his debut today against the Islanders.

On the downside, Paul Martin is expected to miss 6 weeks.

See you in the playoffs, Paul*Mart.

Kris Letang activated from IR

Bye Bye, Benny.

Just got the news about Ben Lovejoy being traded to Anaheim for a draft pick.  He's a great guy and we'll miss him.  Good luck, Rev.

Whiteout t-shirts are sold out

The whiteout shirts have sold out. Thanks to everyone who ordered one. I hope we can do something like this again.

Shipping day approaches for the whiteout shirts!

The orders have been taken and the shirts have been printed. All that remained was to package them up to ship out to the buyers first thing Monday. And that's just what we did after getting home from a successful trip to Pittsburgh.

This has been a fun experience. Thanks to everyone who ordered the shirts. I hope you all love them as much as I do. (I mean, you know, for a white t-shirt, it's not bad.)

Of course there are still a few remaining for those who'd like to show your support during the Pens playoff run and beyond.

And now we wait. Bring on the Flyers! LET'S GO PENS!!!

Pens Playoff / Whiteout T-Shirts / Burgh Bracket

It's old news by now, but the Pens clinched a playoff spot with their 5-1 win over Nashville Thursday night at Consol Energy Center. The question is, will this be the shirt that carries them through a long and rewarding postseason run? I think it might be. Contact me on twitter or via email (see below) if you're interested.

***UPDATE: THE SHIRTS HAVE SOLD OUT***

In other news, Knitting Lady has been eliminated in the region final in the Burgh Bracket. She had some tough competition in Half the Civic Arena. She breezed past the Pitt Mens Basketball Team, Pittsburgh Steelers Young Money WRs and Eileen from Blawnox, but the Igloo came out ahead and will move on to the Final Four. Thanks to everyone who supported Knitting Lady and keep voting for your favorites!

Penguins sock photos and more

Being the only two fans to go out on a cold, Friday morning before the Pens morning skate certainly has benefits as we managed to get a fresh crop of sock pics, and these are some of the best.

For Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, soon to make his second comeback of the season, being photographed with the lucky sock couldn't have come at a better time. Same goes for injured defensive star Kris Letang, who we all hope to see back in action very soon.

Game Photos: Pens vs Ducks 2/15/2012

Back in December, it was then 39-year-old Jaromir Jagr scoring a huge goal against Pittsburgh. Wednesday night it was 41-year-old Teemu Selänne scoring the game winning goal in the third period. At the very least, you'd have to say the Pens are respectful of their elders.

Game Photos: Pens vs Lightning 2/12/2012

The Tampa Bay Lightning stormed into Consol Energy Center Sunday night to take on the Pittsburgh Penguins, accompanied by plenty of bad memories. After all, the last two times we had seen the Lightning in person they beat the Pens by a combined score of 13-3. Of course things were different this time around, much different. As Tampa would soon learn....

Bring out the GIMP

So long without hockey. Oh sure, the Pens just played Tuesday night, but we're going on three weeks since we've actually been to a game. Idle hands are the devil's playthings and all that, so I've had to find ways to keep busy.
