Sad news from the [TRIB]

The long time, and heralded public announcer for the Pens is not doing well.

Barbero was diagnosed with the tumor located in the center of his brain, but he still completed his duties with the Penguins during the season when the team won its third Stanley Cup championship.

Really sad. We wish John all the best.

We still support the new announcer. If you don't you're a vintage Pittsburgh homo.

 

 

 

 

New favorite site on the internet right now.

[Yearbook Yourself]

It lets you take pics of yourself or others and upload them.

You then can see yearbook pics through different years:

Like a 1954 bing

1996 Free Candy

1988 Geno

1964 maf

It's addicting.

Just ask Charlie:

All this = way better than actually talking about what happened on the west coast trip.

Now in all seriousness, the Penguins losing to the Sharks in San Jose is no surprise. It is Karma still paying the Pens back for the humiliation they used to inflict on the Sharks. Nothing was better when you were 10 or 11 and staying up to watch late games on KBL. The games were over within the first 10 seconds. Buries It would have like 3 goals before you'd turn around.

To prove the point:

[courtsey of PENS UNIVERSE]

49 points in  14 games.

Anyways, whatev. Pens return home this week. Thank god.

We got nothing else, so check out this cool video youtube guru DayWalkr3 captured.

Inspired from Bings save against the ducks.

Top ten saves by NHL players.

Now excuse us. We have to find some medicine for our tongues. Hurt them licking stamps so we could mail it in this weekend.

It's November, so the Sharks are good.

They're 11-4-2 and had won six straight before losing to Detroit on Thursday.

They've only lost back-to-back games once this season and, though they've played one more game, they have the same number of points as the Pens.

The Pens haven't lost back-to-back this year yet.

Also, Dany Heately is now a Shark, so many of our old Senators jokes now work against San Jose.

Imagine a Sharks jersey for that one.

Tyler Kennedy may miss tonight's game.

He sat out during practice and will be a game time decision tonight.

Also, as we mentioned earlier, Deryk Engelland has been recalled from WBS.

The reason why is starting to look more clear as Alex Goligoski did not practice yesterday.

The Post-Gazette is saying he may not be playing tonight, despite skating this morning.

Some good news: Malkin skated for the first time since his injury.

In the wake of yesterday's game, you may need some cheering up.

Today we have two stories that should help.

The first is from the Pittsburgh Penguins' official website:

"When Sidney Crosby scored his third career hat trick against the Montreal Canadiens on Oct. 28 there was one question that undoubtedly lingered in the minds of many hockey fans. What happens to the hats that are thrown onto the ice?

It’s a mystery that ranks right up there with Area 51 and Stonehenge. When it comes to the hats from a Pittsburgh Penguins’ hat trick, Mike Behme has the answer.

Behme, a Boy Scout and high-school freshman at West Allegheny High School, has been working with the Penguins since March in putting the hats on the heads of less fortunate children all around the world."

Our second story comes from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

Going into this game, the Kings were as real as the Tooth Fairy to us. Coming out of this game, the Tooth Fairy is real and it will shit in your mouth. Anze Kopitar is the most imposing player the Pens have played against in a long time. The Pens needed Evgeni Malkin for this one, case closed.

A vintage Chernobyl in the third period led to the Pens' demise.

Any talk of injuries catching up to the Pens is garbage.

They just didn't show up in the third period.

Bill Guerin's scoring a goal on Saturday.

Charlie's birthday was also celebrated in L.A.

Jump.
