John Toperzer: Game Night: Pens host Buffalo in make-up special Teams were originally scheduled to play Saturday but postponed match due to Boston situation

The Penguins are too good to make this game special !

Strange there has been no morning updates today.
Edit: They just had an update on the FAN, Sidney did not skate today. Maybe today is the day he has his final dental surgery. After he has those root canals he should be ready to rock.

Lets go Pens!!!!

No morning skate

So, Cooke didn't do a single thing last night; Milbury defended him in the Karlsson situation saying it wasn't deliberate, but he calls him a skunk last night? Got it. Milbury wasn't exactly an angel back in the day. I guess a skunk knows a skunk.

Wow, I just read that article for the first time. It makes Pannaccio and Barry look like legit writers. Sad read.

Agreed. I'd love to know what he'd think of himself as a player. JR defended Cooke and said he's been productive. We all know he has been. I'm kind of surprised with JR and Millbury's past on the set that JR didn't ask him about his own career.

Lets go Pens!!!!

Boobs

Cooke if you see this coming toward you run like hell.

As he should, kid has been great.

I want to caution everyone in here, based on what I read more so in other blogs. There seems to be a ridiculous amount of over confidence from this fan base. I hope I need not remind everyone what we have seen the last 3 years when we get our injured stars back. We have seen numerous times that this team plays out of their mind when these guys are out, and when they come back everything is out of whack because everyone tries to get them the puck, they're not up to game speed, take lazy penalties etc.

So while this team is stacked and I realize it's hard not to get wrapped up in the success they are having, let's not get ahead of ourselves. We are going to have to beat 4 good teams to claim the prize. The fall is harder when you expect to win. See 1993.

Although there are a lot of similarities between the two teams, there are some major differences between this team and the 93 penguins. In 1993, the team was coming off back-to-back stanley cup victories...this team is coming off back-to-back first round exits. This is a much hungerier team...especially those verterans we added that have never won a Stanley Cup. Yeah, there may be a lot of confidence coming from our fan base right now and our teams play reflects it. The Cup is ours to lose this year. There are some good teams out there, but not one of them comes close to matching up with us line for line (assuming everyone is healthy) and every other team in the league knows it. We are in the middle of a 7 game winnings streak right now without Sid, Geno, Neal, or Martin (Letang/Fleury have also missed time during this streak). The coaching has been great, the goaltending has been consistent, and the contributions are coming from each line. The PP is firing out all cylinders without our star players, and the PK is shut down. This is the time of year where playing good hockey matters, and we have been flawless.

Milbury went into the stands at Madison Square Garden as a player, and beat a fan with his own shoe. Now, there are certain people that I would like to beat with their own shoe, but you just have to resist the urge.

Cooke if you see this coming toward you run like hell.

It's too bad the fan didn't actually beat the suspenders off him instead.

Have the playoffs started yet?!

Let's go Pens!

I just read Brennan's article and he praised the Senators (Neil, Gonchar, Smith).

Brennan failed to mention Cookie beat two defenders and set up TK's goal....failed to mention Neil used his forearm to hit Despres' head....failed to mention the Penguins actually beat the Senators, 3-1.

F' u Brennan. You piece of $hit.

Cookie was right about your package. If you really have one.

If you look at the comments under the article, said writer is getting ripped by quite a few people. It was a joke of an article and many agree.

Just curious - with the best (or 2nd) team in the leauge, massive winning streaks, and everything a fan could want - why defend one of the biggest POS (i.e. Cooke) in the league?

If I am from German descent, I brag about engineering superiority, or culture, or beer, or sausages. I don't sing the praises of Hitler.

Give me a break.

To me Brennan is a waste of our time to get mad about, the real turd is Milbury. He is the guy that we need to be hating on today.

Man, I was hoping to watch Winnipeg vs Washington tonight, but it's not on TV.

Does NBCSN have any rights in changing up games down the stretch? That is a much more interesting and meaningful game than Boston vs. Philly. I'd even take the LA vs Minn matchup, with an attractive 8PM start time.

Hitler never changed his ways....nice try though.

Watch this team, watch how he plays now....then comment, I highly doubt you do already, or you would see it and realize that he is an effective hockey player. If you feel the need to KEEP trolling, please find another blog in witch to do so

You arent nearly as clever as you think you are with your attempts to annoy people.
