We’re now in a new week, beyond the Penguins season and into some dumb hot weather. I guess the end of the playoffs segues into the start of a new season…Trash The Penguins Season. My name is Tony Gallagher. I write one-sentence paragraphs. My view on the NHL sucks. I like to complain about the […]

Sad news in Steelers Nation, as Dwight White has passed away. He was only 58. We don’t have 4 Super Bowl wins in the ’70s without White. The Defensive End anchored the most fearsome defensive line in NFL history, the Steel Curtain. The cause of death was unknown. Rest in Peace, Mad Dog. RIP “Mad […]

The Penguins season is over. What does that mean for all the facial hair that blew up during the playoffs? Well, according to the above picture, Sid is still in love with his Playoff BTM. The rest of that junk around his ears and all is gone, but the ‘stache is still in place. He […]

First off…congrats to the Wings and Wings fans. Detroit proved that, at least for this season, they were the best team in the NHL. We have a very bright future to look forward to in Sid, Geno, MAF and the guys, but that doesn’t ease the immediate sting of losing in the Stanley Cup finals. […]

Thank God for the New York Sharks’ website. Usually, I have trouble giving you adequate Passion recaps of the games, because the IWFL sucks at keeping the (supposed) masses informed. This is what we get from the IWFL site. All the points were scored in the 4th? Incredible! And that’s it. Thankfully, though, the Sharks […]

(click for larger view) This is a hard one. I wouldn’t be surprised if you couldn’t find it. Its from this Scott Burnside piece. Why is Georges Lara… …I’m gonna stop. UPDATE: Took less than 10 minutes to fix.

(this picture has nothing to do with the post, but that is a truly remarkable shot) Going into this series, did you think you would ever be turned off by the sight of Lord Stanley? When NBC cut to the Cup handler removing the trophy from its case and proceeding to polish it, I almost […]

Simply amazing! Highlights

Time to bitch and moan. The Penguins have only won in the Finals when I didn’t devote a post to them earlier in the day. It seems that if I write about the team, they lose.So let’s talk Madden. The team and QB ratings all popped up (via everyone: AA, MJD, SportsGamer, With Leather and […]

From the Globe and Mail, via my buddy BP at Awful Announcing, comes news that Don Cherry snubbed Sidney Crosby. Wow. I didn’t see that coming. Anyone who knows Sid and knows Don Cherry were not taken by surprise at this. Cherry is unique to listen to, and must be respected for all he’s done […]

How do I even begin to describe my current emotions following last night’s win? Praise Sid? Thank God that the presence of Sydor might have changed our luck? Worship Brooks Orpik? Point out to Chris Osgood that goalies with the lead don’t flop? Nah. I’ll chalk it up to the Playoff BTM. Home ice might […]

I’m taking the easy road today and posting a Youtube video. Also, I’ve done nothing but talk about the Pens, and we’re down 2-0. Hopefully, a switch to Steelers news will reverse our luck tonight. I know you’ve always wanted to play football like Troy Polamalu. Now, with the aid of Youtube, you can train […]

Is Ross McKeon serious? Resort to whining? So is McKeon whining about the Penguins, then? Why else would his title have such harsh criticism? I take offense to the countless “opinions” on Game 2 that just want the Pens to shut up and focus on the game. So what if Chris Osgood is showing that […]

If you follow this provided link, you may die. I followed it, am still here, and am encouraging you to do so as well. Puck Daddy, the fantastic Yahoo! sportsblog edited by the man, the myth, the legend Greg Wyshynski, has put together some of the finest Penguins fans songs from the tubes into its […]

Podcast it up! Head on over to my good buddy Ed Spags, who graciously invited me to a Stanley Cup Finals podcast on his site. My voice kinda sucks. That’s what happens when you just get over being sick, then decide to (try to) sing on Rock Band, then podcast the next day. Awful throats […]
