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.

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.

He didn’t say what he wanted to talk about, though I figured ...

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...
