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.

Pens vs Caps, March 19, 2013


The third period sequence that included the Penguins killing off four minutes of Matt Cooke penalties followed just nine seconds later by Matt Niskanen's go ahead goal will likely stay in fans' memories for quite some time, and could be one of those moments that help define a season.

The Pens held on for the 2-1 win, their 10th straight and fourth in a row against the Caps.
They're doing it without Evgeni Malkin.
And now without Kris Letang.
They're getting goals from guys not named Crosby, Kunitz or Neal.
And playing sound defense with solid goaltending.
In other words, the rest of the Eastern Conference could be in big trouble.

Pens vs Bruins, March 17, 2013


The Pens beat the Bruins 2-1 Sunday.
Crosby, Vitale and Vokoun played big parts but it took a total team effort to overcome the absence of Geno and Tanger, who went out late in the first causing the remaining five defensemen to really pick up the slack, including Paul Martin's 30+ minutes.

Check out photos from the game plus some postgame sock pics after the jump.

Pens vs Rangers, March 16, 2013


A shutout for Fleury.
Lots of secondary scoring.
Another strong third period for the Pens.
Things couldn't have gone much better.
Quick turnaround with another game tomorrow at 12:30.

Pens vs Sabres, February 17, 2013







 The Pens may have blown an early 2-0 lead but Marc-Andre Fleury stood up to a 17-shot 3rd period Buffalo onslaught, allowing Paul Martin's goal to hold up as the game winner.  Pittsburgh improved their road record to a very impressive 8-2-0.  Hopefully they'll take some of that magic back to Consol Energy Center as they prepare for a 3-game homestand starting Wednesday against the Flyers.  

I probably could have trimmed this post down a bit, but on a day where Sidney Crosby picked up three points against his frequent whipping boy, Ryan Miller, it seems appropriate to include 87 pics from the game.  Check them out after the jump.

Where the Buffalo sock pics roam.



We knew it would be tough to match the sock pic from our 2012 Buffalo trip, featuring Fleury, Duper, Knitting Lady, Martin, Sully, Neal and, of course, the sock.
But with the help of Bortuzzo, Jeffrey and Vitale, not to mention a few other guys pictured below, we made a pretty good go of it this year and there is certainly no disappointment in the results.
Might have to make this Buffalo adventure an annual thing.
Check out the rest of the photos after the jump.

Pens vs Devils Feb 2, 2013


Knitting Lady and I made it to our first game of the season today and were rewarded with the Pens first home win of the season, a 5-1 beating of the New Jersey Devils.  It also featured the first NHL goal by defenseman Robert Bortuzzo, whose celebratory lap by the bench is pictured above.

It's a quick turnaround not only for the team but for us as well, since we need to rest up before hitting the road to get to the game against the Caps at Verizon Center tomorrow.  So I'm just going to toss up a bunch of pics from today's game below.

Enjoy!
