| Pens HD Radio: So Far So Good |
| 2009-10-07 21:33:35 |
Since launching 10/1, 105.9 HD2 has been live and streaming Pens content all day everyday. So far the station is greatly surpassing my expectations.Prior to going up, one could have easily imagined that this was just going to be an advertising centric channel with useless information to lure listeners in. As an avid listener of sports talk radio, I have to admit that I didn't think it would be all that great. To my surprise, the content is pretty good. As a fan, you are always eager to listen and learn news, stories, information and insight into your team. I should have known the Pens wouldn't disappoint.One of the neat programs that run is the "Daily Player's Playlist". From 9 - 9:30 am you can hear some of the players favorite songs. I would like to hear a fan request segment si...

| 2009-06-24 09:28:09 |
After the Pens claimed the Stanley Cup, Southside erupts for some of the wild antics you might expect. Although tamer than the Steelers celebration, Friday night proved to be a night we'll never forget...some of us at least.Thanks to hyperboymedia for braving the crowds!...

| The Curse of NBC Coverage |
| 2009-05-03 17:26:54 |
There was something that just wasn't right about yesterday's game one. I'm going to blame NBC Sports as there is still a sour taste left in all of our mouths for blacking out the big screen, aka the TribTron. Perhaps blame isn't the best word, but it's the most appropriate at this point. When the Pens play and coverage falls upon the entire nation via NBC, there is always an extra element of wonder that makes us fans wince. Don't get me wrong, it's great to see the Pens get country-wide coverage and there is a lot of ritz and glamour to the broadcast, but as a hometown fan, the game is all that really matters. Maybe its day games in general, but the Pens are quasi-cursed on NBC.With games 2 and 3 scheduled to air on the Versus network, we are on our way back to hockey reality. NHL on...

| Warning: The Kunitz Missile Crisis! |
| 2009-04-22 14:21:06 |
Prior to the NHL trade deadline, Pens fans knew something had to happen. There was a vital piece missing from the puzzle inhibiting this talented young group from acheiving the one thing they set out to do, win games. We all know there were many components that aided in the revival of what looked at one point to be a wasted season. One of the main elements to the turn around can be summed up best as GRIT. This word has been thrown around quite a bit in reference to the play of Kunitz and Guerin, but what exactly does it mean?The superstars of the Pens undoubtedly aren't affraid to step in and get their hands dirty, but it's not a trait they can keep up with constantly. Scoring masses of goals, handling the puck like velcro and passing with pinpoint precision are jobs tough enough, dea...

| Philly Fans = FAIL |
| 2009-04-20 18:26:00 |
Since the beginning of time, Pennsylvania has proven big enough for only one true sports town. When you look at Pittsburgh fans words come to mind like admiration, life long, respect, loyalty and love. Jaunt 6 hours or so east and the tables are turned...Philadelphia fans have absolutely no understanding of what it means to be passionate and embrace players of the teams they cherish. Long story short, Philadelphia fans are shitty.Will Leitch, founder of Deadspin, hit the nail right smack on the head in "God Save the Fan". In his book, Leitch does a series of quick summaries describing the teams he references. Across Philadelphia teams, the definition goes something like this:"Hates everything about the team, including the fans. Does everything possible to make sure playing for the Phi...

| Pens Site Playoff Poll...Oh Rly? |
| 2009-04-16 08:57:07 |
After the big win last night, it's inevitable that plenty of folks surfed on over to the Official Site of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Upon arrival all looks fine and in order. Just what you would probably expect from a team coming off an exhilarating game one victory. So you continue to browse, scanning down the right rail and KAPOW! What ever is this poll question? Is it just me or are these results going to be slightly skewed? I'm wondering if this is a joke because the lack of radio button or other voting input method. As a huge fan and avid admirer of the work over at the Pens Official Site, Are you guys messin' with us??? LET'S GO PENS!...

| Nearing Game Time: Assemble the Troops! |
| 2009-04-15 09:58:32 |
A few months ago it was difficult to imagine that the Pens would ever end up not only in the NHL Playoffs, but with home ice advantage to boot. This season has been a wild ride of ups and downs, cheer and agony, love and not love as much. But all along the players, organization and most of all fans, never gave up the hope. After the devastation of coming so close in the finals last year, it looks like the Pens are geared up for another strong run at The Cup. Playoff hockey is just about here!BelieVe! LET'S GO PENS!...
