I can only say one thing: you guys are VERY lucky to have not one, but 3 franchises in your city, 2 of them being 1st class. Since I live in Brazil, I'll probably never be able to watch a game live in CEC and Heinz Field (only maybe...I'll try to make it happen)

Yea, I live in FL, so my trips to see the pens at CEC end up costing around $500-$1000, depending how long we stay. I can't imagine what it'd cost you to fly to Pitt.

$1,600 maybe....something like that + tickets + hotel = screwed

Report: Vikings expected to battle Dolphins for Mike Wallace

Are we losing Mike Wallace?
- Orpik44

He's already gone. Actually he looked gone already when I went to their game against San Diego. It was ugly. We stayed so we could beat the traffic...that's how bad it was.

"The thinking is that Despres sits against more physical opponents and plays when the team can use his skating ability. I don’t have as big of a problem with the move as do others"

You think you're better than me Toper?

#LetDespresPles

I would be alright with the Penguins acquired Smid. I doubt the Oilers let him go for cheap.

Why would the Penguins be hiding Despres from physical teams. Kid is 6'4 220. Let get him maybe get made and go all hulk smash on a filthy Flyer. Seems like dumb coaching to me.

But then again if Niskanen takes another penalty like he did on Schenn last night I would ship his ass to the gulags.

Talking about Chi? If you are, i think so too. Avs looked solid against them last game and will be even hungrier for the win tonight.

Plus Sharp and Hossa are out and banged up. I think it ends tonight as well

has anyone seen this video of Bortuzzo dunking the ball? Let's translate that to the ice now (somehow):

Just thinking tonight how great this 48 game schedule is. We are already at the halfway point. Last season 24 games in got us to around Thanksgiving. This year we're less than a month from the trade deadline and already watching conference standings.

True. Do you happen to know how we were doing at the 24 game mark last year?

14-7-4 after 25 games.

Tangradi with a goal last night and a scrap tonight. Maybe he is coming around

Gotta say I am excited to come see the pens next week...

Going to Rangers, Bruins and Capitals games at Consol...

Penguins better play hard

Not being able to post it but it's in the 5th tab (The lighter side) after the jagr Salute

Penguins coach Dan Bylsma confirmed that he has not been displeased with the recent work of defenseman Simon Despres, who did not play against the Flyers on Thursday. “The consistency in his game is really where he needs to improve,” Bylsma said. “But he didn't come out of the lineup because of inconsistent play. It was just a situation where we went with a more veteran lineup in Philadelphia. It's a tough building.”

So he doesn't REALLY hate him.

Despres is awesome , we need to keep him even though we have a logjam at defense , he is still young , in two years how do you think he'll be ?

Edmonton is a mess right now. Losing to Nashville 0-3

So, When is the Despres for Yakupov deal going down?

If that deal went down, HCDB would sit Yakupov in favor of Kennedy in tough road buildings.
