It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time for a weekly Steelers links roundup at BTSC.

Pregame It’s a very Game 82 lineup for the Penguins; there’s no Crosby, Malkin, Rust, Chinakhov, Rakell, Karlsson, Letang, Wotherspoon or Girard as all the top-6 forward/top-4 defenders set their sights on the playoffs. Recent signee Jake Livanavage makes his NHL debut and Rafael Harvey-Pinard makes his Penguin debut after toiling away all season in […]
It was tenuous and I was convinced the Pirates were going to win until that Nick Yorke pop up landed in Curtis Mead’s glove, but the Nats got the job done. They just barely made their early 5-1 lead stick thanks to some solid work by the bullpen. Tonight, the bullpen and CJ Abrams were […]
Talk about the game with Pens fans here!
The Nationals crashed and burned in the first game of their four game set with the Pirates. However, the great thing about four game series is it allows you to have a clunker. The Nats will look to bounce back tonight. To do so, they will roll with an unusual pitching strategy. The Nats lineup […]

Aaron Rodgers has still yet to make it known whether or not he will return for a second season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and a 22nd season overall.

It’s hard to believe, but we have arrived at game No. 82 for the 2025-26 Pittsburgh Penguins, though it seems like just yesterday they were at Madison Square Garden opening the season against the New York Rangers. Not many fans thought there was going to be more than the standard 82 games for the Penguins […]
Olaivavega Ioane. Omar Cooper Jr. Jordyn Tyson. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren. You probably know all the names that the Steelers are commonly mocked to draft in the first round of 2026. Whether it’s a name commonly wishcasted to Pittsburgh such as Ioane, or a name the team has shown pre-draft interest in such as McNeil-Warren, there’s plenty […]

Keldric Faulk, EDGE, Auburn “Mr. Goodell, you’re saying we can’t trade back? Whh—what? Why is that, Sir? It’s definitely not too late. Sir? What do you mean? You wouldn’t let us trade up either when we wanted… Okay. I protest. I…this is an official protest to tha…to that…ruling. Yes, yes. No, I don’t see. Yes, […]
It’s Mock Draft Monday on Behind the Steel Curtain — and my last chance at writing an installment (you can view my March 16 attempt here). While there are still quite a few unknowns regarding the Steelers’ draft plans even with less than two weeks remaining until the big event, we do know a lot […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates used a unique strategy with their young starting pitchers in 2025. The team called up top pitching prospects Braxton Ashcraft and Bubba Chandler to make highly anticipated debuts — Chandler more than any rookie in the organization last season — but out of the bullpen. To get acclimated to MLB hitters, Chandler […]
Joey and Ryan are back with another episode of Trust the Board!

The pair of weekend games for the Penguins against the Washington Capitals were about as low stakes as it gets in the NHL regular season from Pittsburgh’s perspective. The Pens had already locked up the second seed in the Metropolitan Division, regardless of results the rest of the way. As a result of that knowledge, […]
