So after Jack Edwards made his now famous comments about Matt Cooke in the first period, he had someone to deal with during the first intermission.
Ray Shero.
Via the PG:
Penguins general manager Ray Shero was visibly enraged when he learned of Edwards' comments and confronted him in the first intermission.
Edwards apologized shortly thereafter.

This immediately reminds us of that episode back in the 2009 playoffs when cops were called to some kid's house because he said he was gonna kill Ovechkin or something on a message board.
Some site called Red Scarf Union is organizing a Matt Cooke Hate Fest. It actually sounds pretty serious. Wouldn't be surprised to see the local police notified.
Read more about this Hate Fest here.
The SenShot website is not a fan of the Hate Fest.

The road to the Stanley Cup goes through Fifth Avenue. Following a tumultuous week, The Pens and Bruins stood together with the citizens of Boston and 'Merica before and after the game.

The last few days have showed us what's really important in life, and it's not the outcome of a hockey game. However, it's nice that things are getting back to normal again and that the Bruins are back on the ice in Boston. It will be nice to watch hockey instead of 24-hour news coverage.
And this is a big game.
The Pittsburgh Penguins can clinch first in the East with a win. The Boston Bruins can move back up to second place if they win. Jarome Iginla will play in Boston for the first time since his failed trade to the Bruins. Jaromir Jagr faces the Penguins.
Just read this Days' of Y'Orr preview from yesterday.
Don't worry. We can all go back to cursing Boston again as soon as the puck drops.
Add a commentJust got this email. The Penguins home game was moved from Saturday because of the manhunt in Boston . This has caused some issues for people planning to go the Pens come tomorrow. From Cory King who lives out in the middle of PA :
Guys,
I need your help and by tomorrow if at all possible. My 30th birthday was this past Monday - April 15th. My wife surprised me with tickets to my first ever Pens game at the new arena. She had been planning this game since January - we drove 4 hours today from Lancaster - both getting work off so we could get in early and spend time with family - who is also serving as our babysitter for our 2 year old daughter (who by the way is a die-hard Pens fan).
Long story short - we were exactly 1/2 way here this afternoon when they announced our game, my surprise present, and huge wish come true was just cancelled and moved to Tuesday.
Now we cannot stay, come back, or use our tickets. Our relatives can't go as well, nor relatives in Erie.
We bought our tickets from a secondary site, so we cannot have the Pens buy the tickets back or exchange them for the last Saturday game either.
Any chance you could post my story, or recommend any help to me our we are out $300?
There are 2 tickets, Section 201, Row F, Seats 5 & 6.
We will be in Pittsburgh area until Sunday at the latest.
Thanks.
Cory

It means so much less than so many things in the grand scope of everything, but it will be nice to have hockey. Go Pens. Go Boston.
