Preds Fan Who Threw Catfish On The Ice Charged With Possessing An Instrument Of A Crime, Disrupting A Meeting
The Penguins took a weird Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final last night, winning 5-3 despite going 37 consecutive minutes without recording a shot on goal. Also weird? A Predators fan threw a catfish on the ice, a strange tradition in Nashville that dates to 2003 but has gotten a ton of attention this ...
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...
Penguins Take Game 1, But Frédérick Gaudreau's First Career Goal Is The Better Story<em></em>
Jake Guentzel’s goal with three minutes left handed Pittsburgh a Game 1 win tonight in the Stanley Cup Final, and that goal wiped out what had been a hard-fought Nashville comeback after the Predators found themselves down 3-0 at the end of the first period.

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...
Pittsburgh Wins Eastern Conference On Chris Kunitz Double-OT Goal<em></em>
There are few things in sports more thrilling than a Stanley Cup Playoff Game 7 overtime game, other than a Stanley Cup Playoff Game 7 double-OT game.

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 ...
Craig Anderson Is Why There'll Be A Game 7
Are you sick of hearing this in the postseason?—The better team didn’t win the game last night. It happens all the time throughout the year but generally goes unmentioned, because the regular-season sample size is large enough that those things are generally supposed to work themselves out over time...

This Was The Most Dominant Possession of The Playoffs
The Penguins’ 7-0 destruction of Ottawa in Game 5 was such an ass-kicking that it warranted the Jim Ross treatment, a rare honor for an NHL game. But don’t let the brutality distract from some truly awe-inspiring hockey....

It'll Be Matt Murray
The first serious goalie controversy of the postseason has resolved itself quickly—at least, for now. Matt Murray was first off the ice at today’s team skate, and will start in net for the Penguins in tonight’s desperate Game 4 in Ottawa....
Kid At Pirates Game Enjoys Whatever’s In That Beer Can

Yes, The Senators Are Still Boring
The best way to shut anyone up—the best comeback for literally anything critical anyone is saying about your team—is to score a whole bunch of goals. The Senators, very accurately derided as a “boring” team to watch thanks to their neutral-zone-coagulating defense and a drowsy transition game, explo...
