The Daily Dose: PURE DRAMA!



I get goosebumps everytime I see this. This is what gave us an extra game (or two if you count the almost three full overtimes) in the 2008 SCF. As the time ticked down, I began reflecting on the season and how great it was. But i was awaken from my doze by the ear-piercing "SCORE" from the mouth of Doc Emrick(sp). Talbot gets a 10/10 from deep down for that!

The Daily Dose: Ruutu Doesn't Fight



So Don Cherry opens his mouth again, but not about Sid, its about good ole Jarrko Ruutu! He tells us he doesn't fight, but this is all the proof i needed. Perfect 10/10 for this fight, as Ruutu shows Tucker just how much fight he really has inside of him.

Former Penguins gets chance as NHL Coach

Former Penguins left winger Randy Cunneyworth, a long-time coach in the Bufffalo Sabres minor league system, is finally getting his chance to coach in the NHL. Cunneyworth has been named an assistant coach with the Atlanta Thrashers, on the staff of new head coach John Anderson.


Cunneyworth, known for his grit and competitiveness, played 295 games for the Penguis from 1985-89, recording 101 goals and 115 assist for 261 points with 513 penalty minutes. His best season was 1987-88, when he had 35 goals, 39 assists and 74 points in 71 games. He also played for Buffalo, Winnipeg, Hartford, Chicago and Ottawa.

Cunneyworth, 47, was head coach of Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League for the past eight seasons, going 306-267-67.

Atlanta also hired former Penguin Todd Nelson as an assistant coach. Nelson, a defenseman, was the Penguins’ fourth-round draft pick in 1989 but played only one game for the team, in 1991-92.

The Daily Dose



Sebastian Caron makes an amazing save against the Flyer's Brian Savage. This is nothing but jaw dropping. Though i was never a huge Caron fan, i give this save a 10/10 any day!

The Daily Dose: The First Edition



The Penguins give the Cryers a little entertainment as they leave the ice. Classic Laraque and Ruutu. Even Malkin gets a little involved. My Vote: 7/10. Give me your votes.

Two Segments Announce

This blog will host two segments for your enjoyment, the first of which will be daily, and the second will be weekly. Each day, i will post a video on here that, in my opinion, is a great part of penguins history/something amazing like a sweet goal or fights, and you will vote on a scale of one to ten on how great the video is. The second will be a moment captured by camera in which will either be humorous and comical, or serious, and you, the visitors, will caption these photos. I hope you enjoy these segments, and please, leave feedback at any time. -Brice
