This Young Pens Fan Brought Her Teddy Bear To Last Night's Game. The Bear's Name? "Miller Lite."
Kids give their stuffed animals crazy names. When I was little, I had a stuffed bunny named "Ted Kennedy." So maybe I shouldn't be too shocked that this young fan, interviewed in Pittsburgh before last night's Pens-Flyers matchup in the Stanley Cup playoffs, has a bear named "Miller Lite." Some sh...

John Tortorella Is Pissed Off At Pittsburgh And "Their Two Whining Stars"

Wrestlemania Got An Early Start At Today's Penguins-Flyers Game
The last minute or so of today's Pens-Flyers matchup on NBC was a big chunk of madness, but our favorite part is this—in which a Hulkamania-inspired Pens fan who spent most of the game giving shit to Scott Hartnell and the Flyers gets what's coming to him in the form of some masterful trolling. Or...
Sidney Crosby Was Knocked Out Of Tonight's Game By A Puck To The Face
Poor Sid Crosby just can't catch a break. He can, however, catch a puck in the nose, as happened tonight at Nassau during the second period of the Penguins' clash with the Islanders. Crosby—just a few weeks returned from yet another lengthy tenure off the ice due to concussion symptoms—actually ma...
Marc-Andre Fleury Was Not Injured, So Feel Free To Laugh At Him Getting Bulldozed By A Teammate
Until we could get word on his condition, we've avoided making fun of Marc-Andre Fleury's collision after leaving his net for a poke check on Frans Nielsen's breakaway at the end of the second period of a 5-3 Islanders win. Stifle mirth no longer! The Penguins netminder is fine after taking an elb...

"Somebody Fucking Go": Broadcaster Mocks Dion Phaneuf's Girly Voice When He Thinks He's In Commercial
Ray Ferraro called TSN's broadcast of Leafs/Penguins tonight, and as sometimes happens with online streams (in this case, the NHL's GameCenter Live), viewers watching during televised ad breaks were treated to a live mic. And while we've heard announcers swear before, hearing Ferraro take a stab a...
Sidney Crosby's Brain Still Hurts
Remember when Crosby had to sit for two games because, in the words of Penguins general manager Ray Shero, he "wasn't feeling 100 percent"? That was three weeks and eight games ago. And today, Pens coach Dan Bylsma told the media Crosby continues to experience the symptoms of a concussion, which me...

It Took All Of 16 Seconds For Sean Avery To Get Into A Fight With The Penguins
Calling it a "fight" is a bit misleading—the participants were only assessed two minute roughing minors—but the efficiency by which it was commenced is worth noting, especially since Sean Avery didn't appear to actually start this fight with the Penguins' Tyler Kennedy. (He took a more active part...
Evgeni Malkin And Sidney Crosby Are: Hairy Guy And Gladiator
Not sure if that's "pimp", or the more general "hirsute man from the 70s." But to echo the comments every Penguins fan, Geno probably should have gone as the Invisible Man: he already has the costume. Meanwhile, someone ask Crosby if he likes gladiator movies. [Twitter]...
The Caps And Pens Were Acting So Maturely For A While There
Alex Ovechkin—who once did this—called out Arron Asham for his post-fight gestures, so Asham fired back by calling Ovie a "hypocrite." Meanwhile, Brooks Laich wishes brain-addled players like Jay Beagle weren't coddled so much by the NHL's concussion guidelines. The teams don't meet again until Dece...
Arron Asham And Jay Beagle Give Hockey A Fight To Fight About
All right everyone, we're about to discuss a hockey fight, so I need you to put on your level heads. There's going to be talk of league office discipline, and a bit about the culture of enforcers, and maybe even a mention of concussions. These are topics that cause otherwise normal individuals to ...
Here's Your First Bloodied-Face Picture Of The New NHL Season
Presenting Tim Jackman, of the Calgary Flames, from last night's season-opener against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Jackman didn't score any points in the Flames's 5-3 loss, but he did serve a two-minute minor for too many men on the ice. H/T to tipster Noah D., who reports "Jackman actually went in fo...
