How money is the Winnipeg Sun? Straight from their desks, because I’m a blogger in my mom’s basement, sitting in my underwear eating Bagel Bites (those things are killer, though) while only wearing my undies as I recycle other folks’ stories, comes the realization that both the Pens and Wings have guys who played against […]

Gary Roberts can dunk a basketball with his feet. Gary Roberts is so tall, he did a backflip and kicked Jesus in the mouth. These are some of the Pensblog-inspired Gary Roberts Facts that make up half of the legend (okay, I made that second one up myself). The other part of his legend includes […]

The Passion head into their Memorial Day bye week fresh off a 28-0 win over the Columbus Phantoms (thanks, smarchit) Baltimore Nighthawks. And guess what? IWFL has no stats or recap posted! Awesome. Instead, I’ll have to update you on some happenings in the division. With this win, Pittsburgh moves to 5-0 on the season. […]

I need a moment, away from the parodies of Flyers fans, the BTM sightings, or any other cheap laugh. The Penguins are going to the Stanley Cup Finals. Our Pittsburgh Penguins, one year removed from a gut-check of a loss in the opening round of the playoffs, now stand 4 wins from hoisting Lord Stanley. […]

The Prince of Wales Trophy (next to our boy, Stanley) is going to be in the Civic Arena. Let that sink in. He has been stuck in Ottawa since last year. Only two words need spoken. Go Pens.

Megadeth rules! Woooooooooo! Cros-by Su-ucks! The Flyers are “alive and swell,” baby! I don’t know where I heard it, but I think Game 5 is this Sunday on NBC. That dude who brings like 30 signs to the games behind the net is the man. Its like he knows what’s gonna happen! Pink, popped-collared shirts […]

Go Pens.

Possibly fueled by their new mascot (above, h/t PittGirl), the Passion kept their winning streak alive this past weekend with a 38-0 drubbing of the Columbus Phantoms. You know what that mascot fuels for me? Night terrors. As per the press release on the Passion website, your unbeaten women’s football team racked up over 200 […]

Condolences from a heavy-hearted blogger must go to Jordan Staal and his family. Staal’s grandfather passed away on Sunday, and Jordan’s immediate schedule after getting the news included playing Game 2, attending a funeral in Canada, then playing in Game 3. That ENer at the end of Game 2 must’ve been emotional. Death is a […]

Every now and then, I like to apologize to you, the reader. I know this blog covers all Pittsburgh sports, but I find myself focusing on the biggest/funniest/most interesting topics of the time. I’d love to break down the Pirates’ recent 6-game winning streak (which was just snapped in the nightcap of last night’s double-header), […]

When one stops at a bar in Queens after a hard day’s work, one doesn’t expect to see a Favre-In-The-Box. The smile on Favre-In-The-Box’s face makes me assume that Favre-In-The-Box is on some miniature pain pills. Or John-Madden-In-The-Box/Peter-King-In-The-Box is “helping” Favre stay “smiling.” Or any other Brett Favre cliche. Props to my sister Kate for […]

That title, is a rough transcript of the praise given to Mike Richards by Joe Beninati and Darren Eliot in last night’s Game 2 between the Penguins and Flyers. That’s some pretty high praise, if you ask me. To recap, Mike Richards just completed his third year in the league, and offensively, he has put […]

The BTM is growing. That’s Bad Teenage Moustache, for you Philly fans. Game 2 starts soon. Can the Flyers withstand another BTM-lead assault? I’d like to think not. Go Pens!

What with all the furor over who is going to deface (or already has defaced) the Rocky statue in Philly, I’m proposing a few less famous statues that would look good in a Pens uniform. Besides, everyone knows Rocky is a target of Pens fans. Imagine Philadelphians waking up to see Crosby or Malkin jerseys […]
