Latest blog entries from Pittsburgh teams across every league
Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool is making an NFL comeback. The former second round pick has been invited to Green Bay Packers rookie minicamp for a tryout, per Matt Schneidman. Claypool was drafted by the Steelers in 2020 and had an electrifying rookie season, catching 62 passes for 873 yards and nine touchdowns. […]
The Penguins magical bounce-back season comes to an end in the first round at the hands of their interstate rivals.
The Philadelphia Flyers have slayed the Pittsburgh Penguins in six games to have their first playoff series win since 2020 and their first playoff series win when people could actually go to games since 2012. And now, all sights are set on the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round. While most reasonable fans would be perfectly fine with the Flyers not overcoming the mountain that is this Hurricanes team and reaching the Eastern Conference Final — since, you know, this team is still exec...
The Steelers’ class has been one of the more polarizing ones around the NFL, with a wide range of grades from analysts. Even the Black and Gold faithful are split on how to feel about it, just peruse our draft-related articles if you need proof of this. This week, we’ve been unpacking the Steelers 2026 […]
The offseason is here a little earlier than the Penguins wanted it to be. As they shift into that mode, here’s what to watch for in the upcoming weeks for the early portion of decisions that will need to be made and events to unfold prior to the busy period around the draft and free […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates just got swept by the St. Louis Cardinals and have dropped to 16-16 on the season. What looked like a great start to the season has quickly gone sour, so here are my top 3 concerns/takeaways from the four game series. 1. The pitching struggles The season started with the pitching looking […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning… As the Pittsburgh Penguins shift their attention toward the off-season, we can look back at the overall picture of their playoff run and the season as a whole. The team was largely undone by their disastrous start, falling into a 3–0 series hole, in addition to […]
After drafting Max Iheanachor with the 21st overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the future of the Steelers 2023 first-round pick Broderick Jones became murky to say the least. Just one week after selecting their third offensive tackle in the first round in the last four years, it became official that Pittsburgh would indeed […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins trio of Evgeni Malkin, Sidney Crosby, and Kris Letang have been together for 20 years, but could be split up after losing their series to the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday. The Pens dropped Game 6 by a score of 1-0 in overtime to the Flyers, after crawling back from being down 3-0…
Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson is hoping for a fresh start under new head coach Mike McCarthy in 2026. He’ll also be getting a new jersey number. Per the Steelers’ website and confirmed by beat writers, Wilson has switched from No. 10 to No. 14 ahead of OTAs. No. 14 was previously Kenneth Gainwell’s Steelers […]
Since the Flyers went up 3-0 against the Penguins last week, one of the prevailing narratives around the team was a reminder of how difficult it is to put away a series completely, particularly against a veteran team like that Penguins squad. When the Flyers delivered a flat showing in Game 4, and when they failed to complete their comeback in Game 5 to come away with the win, that fact was driven home as clearly as could be. Their fate was still in their own hands, but this task would be as d...
Game Summary Two first inning homeruns by Wetherholt and Walker spotted the Cardinals to an early 3-0 over Paul Skenes, who would ultimately require 100 pitches to make it through five innings. Burleson and Gorman tacked on RBI hits following Pirate mistakes (error, WP). Another game where the Cardinals 3-4-5 hitters collect RBI. That seems […]
It was a white-knuckle Game 6, but in the end the Philadelphia Flyers prevailed in their first-round battle against the Pittsburgh Penguins. And before we look ahead to the Carolina Hurricanes, it’s grading day for all of the Flyers who participated in the six-game series. Here they are according to position, but in no particular order. Goaltenders Dan Vladar Vladar stopped 148 of 158 shots in six games and change, including a stellar 42-save performance in Game 6. A ridiculousl...
The St. Louis Cardinals will continue their PNC Park party week on Thursday as Hunter Dobbins will get his first start for St. Louis this season and he will be up against a guy you may have heard of named Paul Skenes who gets the start for Pittsburgh. First pitch is scheduled for 11:35am central […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers took a swing in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft when they selected Penn State quarterback Drew Allar. The former Nittany Lion is a raw talent, but should Mike McCarthy be able to work the magic we’ve seen him perform with quarterbacks in the past, Many are high on Allar […]

Before the Philadelphia Flyers took on the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of the playoffs, a whole bunch of writers here at Broad Street Hockey huddled around a document and decided to jot down some thoughts and some predictions for what is going to happen. And now, after the Flyers knocked the Penguins out of the playoffs in six games, we get to sit back and look at all of our predictions and just how right (or terribly wrong) they are. Well, hopefully we don’t look like a b...
The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t just miss on one draft target — they may have missed on two. Much of the post-draft conversation has centered around wide receiver Makai Lemon, who was reportedly on the phone with Pittsburgh before the Philadelphia Eagles jumped ahead to select him. But according to a recent report, Lemon wasn’t the […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins playoff run and 2025-26 season came to an end on Wednesday night with a 1-0 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. It is a frustrating loss, mostly because the Penguins were the better team for most of the game, including the third period and overtime. It was the third consecutive game in […]
Throughout the Flyers first round series against the Penguins, a common talking point that was brought up either on the broadcast, or in other media circles, was the gap in playoff experience. Pittsburgh’s roster had nearly four times the postseason games played compared to the youthful Flyers, whose total was even boosted disproportionally by their grizzled fourth line. The majority of the important pieces that they were relying on had never been here before, and in the case of nam...
The postmortem for an elimination game is always something. Add in the twist that Game 6 was a 1-0 OT loss and that takes it to a new level. On the simplest of terms, it doesn’t take much more than the surface level fact that you can’t win if you don’t score. That proved to […]
The road back to pitching in Major League games took a significant step in the right direction for Jared Jones on Wednesday. Jones made his first appearance of the 2026 season for Single-A Bradenton, marking the first time he pitched against live competition in over a year. The results? Arguably the best performance by any […]
It won’t show up on the scoresheet, and it wasn’t directed at anyone in particular. But at one point in overtime, Dan Vladar sounded like he had enough. And he let his teammates know it. With just under six minutes to go in Game 6, and the game still looking for its first goal, Flyers defenseman Cam York cleared the puck. But once again — as was the case for nearly all of the overtime — the Penguins gobbled the puck up in the neutral zone and drove back in. York again played the puck behi...
The playoffs are steadily widdling down the number of combatants, with the Penguins the latest to fall. Tonight the Wild-Stars and Ducks-Oilers resume their series, with the home team in each aiming to stave off elimination again. Yesterday’s late-breaking news was expected yet tempered by the Islanders’ late-season swoon: Ilya Sorokin is indeed one of […]
Up until the very end, the Pittsburgh Penguins battled and fought to force a Game 7 against the Philadelphia Flyers in their first round series, but Dan Vladar was a brick wall in net and Cam York found a just enough daylight behind Arturs Silovs to score an overtime winner that gave the Flyers a […]
