RECAP: All Easy Mode. PENS WIN.

Posted by TPB Staff on Apr 12, 2013 08:19.

Rewind back to the end of the Flyers series last season. What would your brain have done if you could've seen the Pens' stat lines in this game? Jussi Jokinen: 2G, 1A. Jarome Iginla: 2A. Brenden Morrow: 1A. Douglas Murray: 1A. wtf.

Three things about this game.

1. The Pens are the deepest they've been since the '09 Cup run.

2. Tampa Bay sucks.

3. Geno is rising.

Seven games left, and the Pens' roster is getting stronger every game. Kris Letang returned for this one, and his presence was felt immediately. Every player the Pens traded for had a point in this game. The Pens came out with a purpose for this one, and we saw bits and pieces of what this machine can do. The Bolts hung around, but the Pens flipped a switch, and that was it.

Basically, the Pens' biggest concern right now are North Korea and rumors of Sidney Crosby dating pop singers.

Unbelievable Pens fan presence in Tampa Bay, too. There was a LGP chant during a Pens' PK at one point.

GIF: Douglas Murray wants to dance.

Fights are almost pointless anymore. But sometimes they still have some luster. Case in point: Douglas Murray vs B.J. Crombeen. Crombeen started trolling, and Murray was like, " Let's dance."

Couldn't help but get excited when they showed it was Murray. The fight wasn't great, but Murray got a few good licks in. He also probably hurt his hand.

QUICK CAP: Pens destroy Bolts 6-3.

Posted by TPB Staff on Apr 11, 2013 22:26.

This game was close. Then it wasn't.

Jussi Jokinen scored twice, including this beauty:

Jussi with points in three straight games.

Kunitz, Malkin, Dupes, and... Tanner Glass scored.

Three straight wins all of a sudden.

A Penguins Rink Broken Down

Posted by TPB Staff on Apr 11, 2013 09:22.

Down Goes Brown has done one.

Reddit recently did one.

Silver Seven did one for the Sens.

We decided to throw our hat in and make a Pens one. We didn't throw this together in five minutes. We thought about every possible thing and picked a lot of brains in making this. If something isn't on here, there's a 99% chance it just didn't make the cut.

How one terrible photoshop started a Sidney Crosby / Taylor Swift rumor

Posted by TPB Staff on Apr 11, 2013 00:18.

Via theFreakshow

Around 11pm on Wednesday twitter started to crap its pants with the rumor that Sidney Crosby and Taylor Swift are dating. It actually was trending.
Who is Sid dating... We don't know and honestly don't care
Lets play mythbusters here....
Below is the horrible photoshop that started the Taylor/Crosby rumor on tumblr that quickly spread to twitter. Which leads us to believe this is 100% Fake.
