Hossa made the right decision

Marain Hossa went to the Detroit Red Wings in search of a Stanley Cup Championship.  Now they are up 2-0 in the finals.  Did Hossa make the right decision, or has his decision been a reason why the Red Wings are up 2-0.  In 2 games so far Hossa has registered 2 assists.  It is [...]

A Stanley Cup Finals rematch in the making?

The defending champions won last night. The defending Eastern Conference champions won tonight. Are we due for a Stanley Cup Finals rematch?
When was the last time the same 2 teams played for the Stanley Cup in 2 consecutive years?
The NY Islanders beat the Oilers in 1983, then in 1984 the Oilers beat the [...]

Conference finals – here we come!

So my predictions weren’t exactly what you would call close. At least I picked right on the game 7 that was a blowout picking the Penguins over the Capitals. What a horrible ending to a great series – not the result, but just that game.
vs.
So now on Monday night we can [...]

While it will never be immediately known if Therrien was indeed at fault for this slump of a [...]

Pens Beat the Ducks, without Crosby

The Pens made a statement lastnight with a 3-1 win over Aneheim Ducks. The Capitals-Pens boxing match left Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang, and Rob Scuderi out for the game, not to mention the IR group of Pascal Dupuis, Ruslan Fedotenko (due to Feds fight against ex-Pen Colby Armstrong… which one landed punch to Army’s face [...]

Pens Report: Looking Up at the Playoff Picture

The Pens are a one loss away from going .500. As the 08-09 NHL season has been filled with plagues of injuries from coast to coast… the Pittsburgh Penguins are at the top in this category. It seems as soon as one player comes back, one drops just as fast.
In regard to the playoff picture, [...]

The Pensfan is Here!

Hi all,
I am Jeff Beer (Pensfan), and I look forward to being active around the nhlfanblog.
On a more disappointing note, my boys aren’t doing so well. This slump they’re in is tough to swallow, to say the least. There is nothing more I can really say, except a lack of control. As much as I [...]
