Pekka Rinne Is Good Again
“I don’t know what he needed to prove to anybody,” Austin Watson said of goaltender Pekka Rinne, but I think it was pretty obvious. Rinne had been awful in the first two games of the Stanley Cup final. He needed to prove he hadn’t collapsed completely—that he could, at the very least, again be the p...
Pekka Rinne And The Predators Have Tied Things Up

P.K. Subban's Bad Breath Is The Best Kind Of Distraction
Let’s dive right into this one while proudly admitting that it’s silly, dumb, and fun. Hockey’s best player and its most marketable player now have an enjoyable mini-beef going to spice up what’s been a pretty engrossing series so far....
P.K. Subban: Sidney Crosby Told Me I Have Bad Breath
With Nashville on their way to a 5-1 victory during last night’s Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals, P.K. Subban and Sidney Crosby got into it a little—jawing at each other in the closing minutes of the third period before being separated by a referee. About the night’s gameplay, which had seen quick ...
The Time Ted Leonsis Invited Me Over To Show How The NHL Is In The Tank For The Penguins
In March 2010 Ted Leonsis asked me to meet him. I didn’t know him personally, but from the Capitals and Wizards owner’s very public persona he seemed like a nice and interesting guy, especially compared to other owners in the D.C. market. He didn’t say what he wanted to talk about, though I figured ...
Evgeni Malkin And P.K. Subban Had A Sad Fight
Lost at the end of a wild Game 2 and hidden in a commercial break, was a pretty unlikely scrap between the Penguins’ Evgeni Malkin and the Predators’ P.K. Subban....
What Happened To Pekka Rinne?
The Penguins are surely doing lots of good things to be up 2-0 in the Stanley Cup Final after last night’s 4-1 win. They were the league’s highest-scoring team this year, and for brief explosions in both games in which they were generally outworked, they’ve been able to solve the Predators’ elite de...
The Penguins Crushed The Predators In One Terrifying Three-Minute Stretch
The Penguins and Predators were knotted in an ugly and contentious Game 2 for two periods, until a stunning flurry of goals turned the once-dramatic game into a blowout within a matter of minutes. Jake Guentzel scored on Pekka Rinne just 10 seconds into the third period after Rinne deflected a shot ...

Would the Capitals actually trade Alexander Ovechkin? Here’s GM Brian MacLellan with a roundabout but not particularly subtle way of saying “Make me an offer.”...
What On Earth Was That?
Let’s stipulate that that’s not going to happen again. The Penguins aren’t going to shoot 41.6 percent, as they did in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, because hockey teams don’t just shoot 41.6 percent. At the other end, the Predators aren’t going to again allow four goals on 11 shots (before an em...

P.K. Subban Plays Reporter At Media Day, Continues To Be A Delight
Delightful sunbeam P.K. Subban decided to turn the tables during today’s media day for the Stanley Cup Final, abandoning his spot taking a questions to grab a microphone and grill his teammates on the tough questions no one else dares to. For instance—Mike Fisher, just how it does it feel to be so d...
Touch The Trophy
Sidney Crosby is maybe the most polarizing superstar the NHL has ever had. (I admit to being a big-time Crosby stan, but I really don’t understand the other side of it. If you can’t appreciate rare greatness, well, what the hell do you even watch sports for?) But I hope we can all come together and ...
Chris Kunitz Made Sure It Isn't All Over
It was a perfect shot because it was kind of a mess. Chris Kunitz’s double-OT winner to send the Penguins to the Stanley Cup Final fluttered, knuckled its way just past an inadvertent screen, rising the whole time, and found twine above the right shoulder of a wide-eyed Craig Anderson, who was clear...

The Senators Pestered The Shit Out Of Sidney Crosby
Sidney Crosby was the reason Marc Methot lost part of his finger in March, albeit on a routine play, but who needs an airtight reason to pick on Crosby, anyway? As the Ottawa Senators stayed alive with Tuesday’s 2-1 Game 6 win, various players chose to bother the Pittsburgh Penguins’ captain in any ...
