Why the 1993 loss means so much

Posted by TPB Staff on .

At some point in the next three days -- or it's probably already happened -- someone is going to climb up on their horse and say, "1993 has nothing to do with the upcoming Pens/Isles series."
 
And that person will be dead-wrong.
 
Growing up in Pittsburgh or being a fan of Pittsburgh sports teams in the '90s carries three life-changing losses with three villians at the forefront.
 
1. Francisco Cabrera in Game 7 of the 1992 NLCS. [ Video ]
2. Larry Brown in Super Bowl XXX. [ Vomit ]

3. David Volek. Game 7. May 14, 1993.

Pens will begin the Playoffs most likely Wednesday

Posted by TPB Staff on .

It would have made sense for the Pens to begin the Playoffs Tuesday, but thanks to a Black Keys concert that doesn't look likely. Looking at a Wednesday-Friday schedule for Consol. Probably Sunday afternoon either in Ottawa or on the Isle.

The playoff scenarios going into the last game of the season

Posted by TPB Staff on .

Bruins vs. Senators will wrap up the 2013 regular season tonight. The Sporting News' , a must-follow, breaks it down.

It will play out like this for the Pens.

If Ottawa wins, Pens vs. Isles

If Boston wins in regulation, Pens vs. Sens.

Once the game is done, playoff schedules will then be released.

RECAP: Wow. PENS WIN.

Neal and his dark visor had a hat trick. Malkin put home a pretty one. Juicy had two goals.

Shit is about to get real. Ottawa/Boston Sunday night will determine the Pens' opening-round opponent. If Ottawa wins or the game reaches overtime, the Isles will be coming to CONSOL. If the Bruins win in regulation, the Senators will be coming.

Just wow. What a season.
