Original reactions were tepid at best, but Rutherford’s candor, accompanied by the decision (although largely made by upper-management) to relieve coach Dan Bylsma of his duties now have Penguins fans in seemingly much greater spirits.

I’m not going to pull any punches on this one: the 2007 NHL draft class has to be one of, if not THE, weakest draft classes in recent memory.

After five years of disappointing playoff failures, change has begun to come to the Pittsburgh Penguins, the team has already parted ways with GM Ray Shero, known as much for his spectacular feats of trade as for his complete dismantling of the Penguins ability to build depth through the draft. Head Coach Dan Bylsma remains […]

You’ve heard it before, the Pittsburgh Penguins lost this postseason because they got outworked by a much more driven New York Rangers team. After five years of similar narratives, the Penguins will need to exact some changes if they hope to get back to the Stanley Cup Finals and get their so-called dynasty, thought to […]
