PENGUINS RUMORS & GOSSIP

The Time is Perfect for Penguins to Put Fleury Back In Net

With the big win last night the Penguins have Ottawa on the brink of elimination and have afforded themselves the opportunity to get their #1 goalie back into the fold.

Pittsburgh Penguins Fans Do the Unthinkable; Cheer For NY Rangers

As vile as it tastes. As dirty as you feel. As much as this goes against every fiber of your Penguins-fan being… Cheer for the Rangers tonight. Or at the very least hope for a mutual massacre that results in a 1-0 Rangers win. Why? Because it’s the Cup, and that’s bigger than my disdain for any division rival. There is no such thing as a guarantee in the playoffs, and by no...

Double Overtime Game Lost Thanks to Coach Bylsma’s Prevent Defense

Penguins coach Dan Bylsma lost the game last night.  It wasn’t a bad play, it wasn’t a better team, it’s wasn’t poor play by his team, it wasn’t the drop play that Bylsma kept referring to in his post game interview. It was bad coaching. It is 100% Dan Bylsma’s inability to go for the kill is what lost last night’s double overtime game against the Ottawa Senators. ...

Penguins fan with gross team spirit

I… I really don’t even know what to say about this.  How the hell does one even have that much body hair to do something like this?  And at what point did this seem like a good idea to walk around the concourse like this? Oh wait, it’s Pittsburgh?  Hell, this probably isn’t even the weirdest body hair arrangement at the game tonight.
